Obituary

The family of Murray Fraser MacKinnon is deeply saddened to announce his passing on June 20, 2026. 

Remembered with much love by brothers Jim (Anne), David (Cathy) and by his sister Mary (Jim) Frayne.  He will be deeply missed by his nieces & nephews, Jack, Jennifer, Shane, Jonathan, Catherine & Andrea & Rachel.  Predeceased by his parents Fraser & Doris MacKinnon and his nephew Dylan MacKinnon.

Murray was always keen to play a multitude of games, including euchre, pool & sequence.  He loved to follow the “ups and downs” of his favorite teams, whether it be the Leafs, the Blue Jays or the Raptors.  He loved to “keep up with” the hirings and firings, the trades and drafting positions and their future prospects of success. 

Murray was a very social person.  He enjoyed meeting people and talking to everyone.  He always spoke so fondly of his Bervie neighbours, and in more recent years, his neighbourhood clan in Goderich.  He also treasured his time spent at the Ripley Legion where he helped out for years at their monthly wing night.  Every Monday, he volunteered at the Goderich ReStore, where he had another connection of good friends.  Tuesdays and Fridays were filled with fun and good food as he socialized at McKay Centre for Seniors.  Perhaps the dearest place he held in his heart was none other than his childhood church….South Kinloss, just north of Lucknow.  There, he was welcomed by friends, old and new, and always felt like he was exactly where he belonged. 
A special thank you to Savanna Langer at the Goderich Surf Shop.  Everyday was made just a little brighter and sweeter by his daily visit with this special gal.  And lastly to Dee, his caring neighbour and good friend. 

A funeral service will be held at the MacKenzie & McCreath Funeral Home, Lucknow, on Thursday June 25, 2026 at 1 PM with visitation one hour prior (12-1PM).  Interment South Kinloss Cemetery, Lucknow.

I volunteered with Murray at the Goderich Restore of Habitat for Humanity Huron County. Murray was a quiet, gentle, diligent, friendly man who enjoyed a good laugh. His warm, wide smile set the work atmosphere amongst staff and volunteers alike. I miss him very much. Godspeed, friend.
