Murray Douglas Swanson

March 18, 1931 - March 7, 2023

Murray Douglas Swanson passed away peacefully on March 7, 2023 just missing his 92nd birthday by 11 days. He was known as Murray, Dad and PAPA.

Murray is loved and remembered by his children Lynne (Bob) Martin, Judy (John) Glass, Debbie (Lorne) Lloyd, Tracey (Bill) Martin, Murray (Kathy) Swanson as well as 14 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. Predeceased by his wife Evelyn--so loved and missed since her passing in 2015, as well as his father Melvin, his mother Winnifred and brother-in-law Don. Also gone too soon was his special companion, Libby.

Murray leaves behind his sister Dolores Wallin and brothers Dale (Brenda) and Brian (Cindy) Swanson. He is survived by many nieces and nephews who loved him dearly.

Dad loved his family, home and neighborhood. He always had a wave. Most often it was from his front window, his ride-on, or on his morning walk with his dog. The family asks that one morning you give a wave in memory of Murray, Papa - our Dad.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Terry Fox Foundation.

A Celebration of Dad’s Life for family and friends will be held on Saturday, May 13 at 1:00pm at his home.
