November 12, 2008 – February 22, 2022

It is with an incredibly heavy heart that we must announce the passing of our son Carson Wayne Murray.

The world lost an incredible boy at the young age of 13. Anyone who knew Carson knew that he was so kind and caring. Carson had such an amazing sense of humour, and always knew how to make people laugh. His smile was infectious and would light up the room. Carson was naturally athletic and played many sports. His passion and dedication for hockey and skate boarding could not be denied.

Carson may have only been in this world for 13 years, but he has made a lasting impact on all of the people who loved him.

Let’s send all of our love to Carson who will watch down on all of his family and friends forevermore.

A celebration of life will be held at the Logan Lake Recreation Centre on March 2nd at 3:30pm. This is an open invitation to show Carson how much he is loved. We ask that everyone embrace Carson by wearing bright colours or plaid clothing. We want to honour Carson in the way he would have wanted. Please come to sing, dance and party as he would have wanted.

As part of the facility’s procedures, please have your Proof of Vaccine available upon entry to the building.
