Murray Flathen

Murray, the best brother in-law and friend a girl could ask for. Thank you for a lifetime of great memories and so many laughs. We miss you and can’t believe you have gone too soon. You always took care of us and we got you brother. Today and everyday we will celebrate the amazing person you are and you will live on in our hearts forever. We will see you on the other side xo

Brother, you’ve been with me through thick n thin. You’re forever on my mind. I’m missing you.

Murray you were a wonderful son, always kind and considerate. We had many good times together with our family. Without hesitation you were always there with suggestions for family gatherings. Many good ideas, your Mac and cheese was popular, don’t know why. You set our smoke alarm off many times when you barbecued but the food was good. I remember when we were in Sydney, my sister, Auntie Margaret and I were shopping at The Rocks Market, Margaret says that guy looks like Murray. I looked over at the pub and there was a guy wearing an Akubra hat with long, beautiful, curly black hair and a beer in his hand. My son! I wish we could carry on those good times we had. Have you have seen Dad yet. I think you have.
Katelin and Brendan are wonderful kids and miss you already. I keep having to stop myself from phoning you, oh no, you are not here any more, one day we will meet up again, love Mum.

Some of the best memories I have are with you all. I am gutted over this incredible unfair and tragic loss of one of our dearest friends Murray Flathen ♥️ My heart is in pieces over this loss and for each of you. I will hold each of our memories we all had together very close to my heart. I feel so blessed to have had so many memorable moments with you Murray. Your smile and that laugh will always be one of my favourites.
Jen I can hear it as I read your tribute. He really did have one of the best!
Our family is broken. We are here to help you pick up the pieces as little or as much as you need.
Our hearts continue to ache over this. It’s I dare. You are gone too soon!
Our hearts are with each of you Jen , Katelin & Brendan!
We will find comfort in our memories together!
Much love
Fiona Andy Taylor Trinity Schonewille

Such a great loss to the world....an absolute magnificent soul that so many will miss! Tears of sadness to think such an amazing man is gone to soon turns to smiles when I think about how lucky we were to enjoy your company!
Sending love to all the family.
RIP Murray
Forever in our hearts 💞

I am devastated at the news of Murray's sudden passing. I'm very sorry for the Flathen Family's loss. Take good care of each other, today and always. Please try and find some joy in your sorrow 😇🙏💜

Happy Birthday Murray!♥ We will be sure to celebrate you every year!

I wanted to write something longer

Thank you, dad, for everything. You were my coach, my dad, my friend someone I looked up too. I'm still in shock 3 weeks ago you got out of the hospital but then you had to go back and now your dead. I loved you sending pictures of your self all most every day to me when you where in the hospital. Dad goodbye I love you

I last saw Murray during our final year of high school, 1991. I vividly remember him standing out in the smoke pit with his storm rider. For those of you that didn't know, Murray was a fiercely competitive hockey player and boy was he good. Every year he made the A1 rep team at Killarney Minor Hockey. I had the pleasure of playing with him on the same team at least 2-3 times. I still remember my dad walking into the dressing room commending him on his outstanding game winning performance. I'll always remember you for you outstanding never give up competitive nature. Rest in peace Murray, you will be missed!

Mur-man !
What is there to say ? He was great mentor to any apprentice coming up In The trade . He would teach you the ins and outs of all aspects . “ hide and seek for a thousand a week “ , he’d say ! , best advice any guy could get in my opinion . He would have your back in any situation no matter what , but he was never afraid to call you out on your bull shit , “shame , shame “ !!!
To a great friend , and mentor . Rest in piece Mur-man

Sorry to hear of Murray’s passing. This is very sad news. I worked with Murray for years. I will always remember his laugh. He was a good guy and he will be missed by many. My heart goes out to his family. Rest easy MurDawg.

Rest in peace Uncle Murray. I haven’t known what to say out of shock, but have many good memories of Murray. He’ll be missed. ❤️

Thank you for the last 21 months of insurmountable laughter, love and talks. Thank you for always making me feel safe whenever we went, no matter what we were doing. Thank you for all the fun’s times cooking together, watching sports, mini get aways and even the evenings just listening to music and talking. Every where I go around home I have so many memories of us, even Home Depot!!!
Our story was not supposed to end this way. I love and miss you so very much. I will always carry you in a part of my heart ❤️. RIP Babe!

We’re going to miss you Murray. I always looked forward to our get togethers and I know we’ll see you again. You were one of the good ones and I’ll share our memories for all my time. You will forever have a home in my heart.
Much love to Katelin and Brendan during this time and blessings to the rest of the family. Love ya!

Murray, I met you as a teenager and through the years watched you become a father, a provider and, always, a good guy. Your goodness lives on through your children and all the lives you touched...your family and friends. It is far too soon to say good-bye so...until we meet again.

Rest in peace Uncle Murray, you will be missed.

I will always remember Uncle Murray playing with Ryan and I in the backyard on summer nights, and having fun movie nights with us downstairs. He was always cracking jokes and was a great uncle and man.

All my love to Auntie Jen, Katelin and Brendan during this time ❤️

Good bye for now my friend 💗 everytime we ran into each other since high-school has always been a good time and memories shared. You inspired me as a parent and how you ŵere always there for your Children. Love ya buds xoxo

So sorry to hear about Murray's passing. Murray could brighten up any conversation with his patented cackle and it's a shame we won't get to hear it anymore. RIP Murray. All the best to your family.

I am saddened by this loss of a friend and colleague of 25+ years. You were taken way too early bud and you will be greatly missed.
RIP Murray!

Murray and I had some great times going to concerts. He'd easily part the crowd and get us right to the stage. I'm sure he saved my life once by pulling me out of a mosh pit I was getting crushed in.
He had a wicked sense of humor and such a great laugh.
Very tough dude with a great heart who I'm sure will be missed by all.

Well, here we are Murray,
you over there and us here.
I've missed the good old days,
Remember when Katelin was born?
The hugs we shared, the teary-eyed
Looks we shared ,bursting with gratefulness. And followed up with a
Brenda's birth. We shared the same
Feelings, the hugs, the teary-eyed eyes and your smile ! Those moments are embedded in my ❤️ and my head. I felt so privileged to be part of those moments. There are many, many more special moments. And those 2 are at the top of my list. You will be missed 😢
And not forgotten. You are a true warrior Murray. Now, 🙏 RIP

Thanks Murray for talking to my son on the camping/fishing derby trip. Your motivational words went a long way with him and made him stop to think about his future. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

There are no words that match our grief Murray, its immeasurable 💔...

Side by side we did life together...and we did it our way, on our terms...with love and respect, through the ups and downs. We went side by side as husband and wife, father and mother and most importantly friends, incredible friends. You always had my back and I had yours, through every mistep and through every triumph, we took care of eachother. You loved our kids with every fiber of your being as much as I did. You worked incredibly hard to provide and build a good life. Thank you Murray.❤️
Thank you for giving me two of the most amazing children a girl could ask for. Truly the greatest gifts in life.🥲
Thank you for all the incredible memories we made as a family...
We were always family since the moment we met, to your very last day with us here on earth. I held your hand and played you music I knew you'd like and held your hand some more...I hope you heard my words because I meant them all.
You were an amazing man in so many ways. I'm broken by your loss..we are all broken... the illness took you so fast and much too soon. We had so many more memories to make with the kids.😢
We built a home and made it ours, we made it beautiful, filled it with memories of laughter and a lot of fun,...so much fun. Swimming every summer, having our BBQs and we made every holiday so much fun during all the years that passed. You were such a good sport.
We got through so many things as a family, at times it wasnt always perfect but what family is.. We did well, we showed our kids the truest meaning of love. We loved deeply and fiercely and protected the most important thing we built together, our children. You protected and loved them till the very end. Thank you.

I promise I will continue to make you proud in what we've accomplished and overcame. To be the example of love we gave in the deepest sense, even when others didnt understand, we did it side by side with great love, respect, honour and deep gratitude... We made sure we had some great laughs along the way, lots of belly laughs! Thank you. You loved to laugh as much as I do... I can hear you now and see that huge smile. 🥲
My heart is utterly broken right now but I promise you, as it mends with time, I will laugh again for you and for them. I will build the best life I possibly can for our kids. I know you'll be by our side Murray, watching over us.❤️
Now more then ever I dont regret the " millions" of pictures I've taken, because that is what we have left to remember... We will always remember you.

You better be up there with the warmth of the sun setting on your face, sitting on a beach having a bonfire with your favorite tunes playing... Surrounded with our loved ones that have passed!
Till we meet again.. My love, my friend, father, friend, coach, and everyone's handyman and Plumber ( as Trisha would say lol)
We will miss you more then words can express. Theres no words. 😢💔
Rest in peace Murray.
We love you and always will.❤️

You were the greatest friend Murray!
I will never forget you!!
Rest in peace Buddy….

Rest in peace, Murray. The world has lost a good one.

Dad I will miss you thank you for everything.
