September 16, 1955 ~ April 19, 2021
With a short battle with cancer, we are heartbroken to announce the passing of Murray Zarecki at the age of 65 years old. He was predeceased by his mother(Ollie), father (Joe) sister (Roseanne), brother (Terry), and nephew (Brett). He leaves behind his wife of 44 years Gail, son Evan (Cole), daughter Aleah (Eric) and grandchildren Harlyn and Bowdin.
Murray was born and raised in Lac du Bonnet but soon made his way to the Beausejour area after meeting Gail in their teenage years. He learned the stucco trade from his father-in-law and went on to owning his own Stucco business for more than 25 years, then later “retired” into working for L & A Stucco in Winnipeg.
Murray had many hobbies throughout the years including bowling on the Beausejour Bowling league, playing baseball for the Gophers, curling, playing cribbage, an avid hunter and fisherman, and more than anything, loved being a Big Papa to his grandchildren.
Murray had a strong spirit and brought laughter and joy to everyone he met. He was always more than happy to help anyone in need. His sarcasm and sense of humour will truly be missed.
The family would like to thank the Beausejour Hospital and Cancer Care Manitoba for their exceptional care, compassion and kindness they’ve shown him and the family.
The family will be planning a celebration of life at a later date.
Offer Condolence for the family of Murray Joseph Zarecki
