It is with sadness that Murray passed away on September 19, 2026, four days shy of his 91st birthday. Loved son of the late Connie and Garnie Sutherland, loved older brother and brother-in-law of Gill and Kathy. Dearly loved father and father-in-law Craig and Karen, Debbie, Lynn, Alicia and Glen, and the late Peter (Sam). Proud grandad of nine and chuffed great-grandad of two. Dearly loved grandson, nephew, and cousin of the wider Richardson and Sutherland families. The family wish to thank the exceptional staff of Leslie Groves Hospital, Redwood Unit for their care of Murray over the past year.

A private service has been held.
