Murray Rodney Lewis

1950 - 2025

Murray Rodney Lewis, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away on August 24, 2025, in Baldonnel, BC, leaving behind a legacy of love, hard work, and dedication.

Murray was born on September 16, 1950, in Powell River, BC, and was raised on a small dairy farm alongside his five brothers. He was predeceased by his mother, Ruby, his father, Ernest, and his brother, Reggie.

After marrying his wife, Jane, they welcomed Darryl and Ron into the world. Following the birth of his sons, Murray and his family relocated to Armstrong, BC, where he spent many years driving his gravel trucks, paving roads across the beautiful landscapes of British Columbia. His dedication to his work and his commitment to providing for his family were unparalleled. As his sons grew and ventured out into the world, Murray and Jane moved from their small farm in Armstrong to a stunning quarter section in Baldonnel, BC. It was here that Murray continued to pursue his passion for trucking, building a successful trucking company that reflected his tireless work ethic and determination. Murray also found a love for farming and spent many hours in his tractors, cutting and baling hay.

Murray's passing leaves a profound void in the lives of those who knew and loved him. His memory will be cherished by his wife, Jane, his sons, Darryl (Leann) and Ron (Leanne), grandsons Jesse, Tyson, Dallas, and Dryden, and his brothers, Terry, Rod, Darby, and Kevin, as well as his many nieces and nephews and countless friends. His absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him. As we mourn his loss, let us also celebrate the life of a remarkable man who touched the hearts of many and left an indelible mark on all of us. Murray will be deeply missed, but his legacy will endure for generations to come.
