Obituary

McCarrel, Murray passed away peacefully at the Owen Sound Hospital, with family by his side on, Tuesday, November 9, 2026 in his 70th year.

Loving husband to Kim McCarrel (née Cooper). Proud father of Lisa and her husband Derek Ransome, Meagan McCarrel, Michelle McCarrel, Jesse Cooper and his partner Megan Gibbons, and Kara and her husband Shaun Trelford. Extremely proud grandfather of Ali, Addison, Ella, Myla, Jaxon, Wren, Kai, and Phoenix.

Dear brother to Allen (Kathy), Audrey, and Marilyn (Ron), and brother-in-law to Jamie (Liz) Overholt. Uncle to Peter, Jim, Brett, Blake and Ben, and their families.

Murray will be fondly remembered by his dear friends, Tommy, Dan, Gary, and many other friends and neighbours.

Predeceased by his parents George & Edna, his in-laws, Gerald & Jean Cooper, and by his brother-in-law Nick Tombros.

Murray was a humble man, whose life was defined by honesty, hard work, and unwavering integrity. He carried himself with grace and dignity, qualities that were evident in his everyday actions and in the way he treated others. Throughout more than 50 years of working as a stone mason, Murray took great pride in his work, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the many structures he helped create.

His greatest accomplishment, however, may well have been the example he set for his family, demonstrating through his actions the importance of hard work, honesty, respect, and doing what is right. Murray also had a wonderful sense of humour and a way of bringing a smile to those around him. He was a man who earned the respect of many throughout the community, not through grand gestures, but simply by being the genuine, dependable, and good-hearted man that he was.

His legacy will live on not only in the work of his hands, but in the lives he touched and the values he passed on to those he loved.

A casual come & go visitation will be held at the Eagleson Funeral Home, Southampton on Saturday, November 14, 2026 from 2 PM to 4 PM

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Chapman House Hospice, Owen Sound.
