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.

Charlie, born in Kingston, Ontario, grew up in Camden East, Ontario, running free with his friends and co-conspirators, finding adventures and taking risks. Charley relived those adventures, all his life, through the stories he shared.

Charlie married his life-long partner, Jean Hanaghan (nee Richmond), December 27, 1952, and died shortly after their 69th anniversary.

Charlie is survived by his wife Jean, and his sons, Bob (Charolette) Hanaghan, Jeff (Trudy) Hanaghan, and daughter Claire Hanaghan.
He is survived by his grandchildren, Shelly (Jeff) Peterson, Brent (Kassandra) Hanaghan, Caleb (Chelsea) Hanaghan, Carla (Shawn) Karst, Tanya (Leighton) Garfield, Claye Hanaghan, and Maci Dyck, as well as great grandchildren; Sydney, Hayley, Taylor, Cale, Charli, Emery,
Farron, Lev, Fen.

Charlie was predeceased by his son, Stephen Hanaghan and his
grandson Jesse Hanaghan.

Dad loved to travel and with mom, and they saw so much of North America, from the southern U.S. border, to the Arctic Circle and from
west coast to east, many times.  Charlie and Jean enjoyed many travel adventures with friends and family through the years, sharing lots of laughter, and creating their shared lifelong memories.

Charlie and Jean settled in Kamloops in 1968, after moving west to BC in 1964 to Taylor, BC, to work on the Alaska Highway and then pipeline jobs.  Charlie was a 50 year member of the I.U.O.E. (International Union of Operating Engineers) and spent much of his career working pipeline jobs across Canada.

Charlie loved children and dogs most of all, oh, and cars! And he found happiness with each of these loves.

Charlie lived in his own home until the end of his life, and in his
90th year, was a proud and licensed driver.  Charlie’s independence
was very important to him and we are all thankful he spent his
final years in his own home.

Charlie’s family and friends will miss his big smile,
his stories, his love for cars, and his feistiness.
