Murray, the son of Frank and Patricia Fraser, passed away peacefully, with family at his side at Marjory Willoughby Hospital in Kamloops, B.C.
He was pre-deceased by a sister, Colleen Anne (1964).
He is survived by brother Bill (Kelly) Fraser, children Carson (Shona) Fraser, Colleen (Mike) MacLaren, Brian (Sharon) Fraser, B. (Uncle Benny) King, along with grandchildren Anika and Jaycen Fraser, Kira and Taylor MacLaren, Brendan and Jadea Fraser, along with many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Murray was a life-long resident of the Shuswap area. After working for Adams Lake Lumber, he joined his father who had the tug service on Adams Lake. When this business was sold he used his welding skills to open his own shop and was very successful at it. He was also an avid outdoorsman (hunting and fishing). Nothing relaxed him more than spending a weekend aboard his boat and cruising on Adams Lake with his very special companion Mary Stewart.
Murray made friends easily and he will be missed by lifelong friends Robert Miller, Brian Dawson, Dan Nontell, Bruce Hudson and Tim Leduc.
A Memorial service will be held at the Celista Hall at 4 p.m. on Sunday May 21, 2017.
