With heartfelt sorrow, we regret to announce the passing of Murray on Monday, March 10, 2025 at the Sault Area Hospital at the age of 67. Loving partner and best friend of Karen Cobourn. He will be sadly missed by his children and stepchildren Crystal, Rick, Jeannie, Jessica, Krystal, Joshua, Courtney, Shane Druer, Amanda Inglis, Stephanie Trudel and Amanda Shelton. Proud grandfather of many. Son of the late Mary and the late Kenneth Monahan. Brother of Allan, Wayne, Linda, Danny, Dave, Velvet, Shelia, Kathy, Julie, William and Kendra and predeceased by Judy, Joan and Michael. He will be fondly remembered by his many nieces and nephews. Loved and missed by his furry companions Gam, Pugsley and Winnie.
Murray found joy in the simpler things. An avid gardener, Murray found peace in taking care of his plants, giving them the same nurture and care that he would to those around him. He had a deep love for his dogs Gam, Pugsley and Winnie. Whether it was a walk or a game of fetch, they were his happy place. Murray enjoyed playing War Commander, making friends all around the world.
A Celebration of Murray’s life will be held in July 2025, with times to be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Canadian Lung Association would be greatly appreciated.
A special thank you to Stephanie, Amanda, Josh, Courtney and their loved ones.
