The family of Peter Murray are heartbroken to announce his peaceful passing in the arms of his love, on September 8, 2024 at Northumberland Hills Hospital in his 56th year after a lengthy illness.
Peter was the dear husband and eternal love of Mhairi Carr and youngest child of his late parents William Murray and Isabel Murray (nee Heenan). He is survived by his stepmother Marie Murray. Peter was the brother of Ellen, the late Gordon, Bill, Jane, the late Heather, Bernadette, Dave, Shannon, Joseph and Rochelle. Much loved son-in-law of Dave Burnham and Carol Currelly-Burnham and brother-in-law of Seana Carr, and will be remembered as a favourite uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Peter was a voracious reader, a resourceful world traveler, a wonderful storyteller, a dynamic entertainer and a faithful friend to many. Peter was a hard worker at a variety of jobs, but above all else, Peter was a survivor. A Celebration of Life Gathering will be held at the MacCoubrey Funeral Home Reception Centre, 30 King St. E in Cobourg on Sunday, October 6th from 1 to 5 pm with Words of Remembrance to occur at 2:30 pm.

I am very sorry for your loss.
First of all, I'd like to thank those of you that took the time to leave your condolences for our family's massive loss of our brother Peter in his 55th year. Each of his siblings from Rochelle to Ellen will always have Peter in their hearts. Growing up with my brother was pretty much me tagging along with his every move. I realized early on how special my brother was. He never cared about the age difference, he was my brother, and he damn well made sure I knew it. He introduced me to nature, books and movies, the latter two, we would discuss on walks discovering the world around us as kids for countless hours. Family meant everything to Peter, he loved all of us to the core and without prejudice. Most of you that grew up in or around our family know that our family's love for each other is and always was unconditional. We laughed, we fought, we talked, we walked, this is what family's do. But most importantly, we loved. I will forever miss your insight, your smile, and your laugh. I and the rest of your siblings couldn't have asked for a more, adventurous, beautiful, fun-loving soul. I will miss you and love you forever brother
My deepest condolences to Bernadette and family. RIP Peter.

I'm so sorry Mhairh.
Yet another loss for our family - gone much too soon. Uncle Pete taught me: how to eat mangoes, what the worm in the tequila is for, the entire The Doors repertoire, and to be spontaneous and make those memories now, not later. Love you always Uncle Pete.
Dearest Mhairi, I am so heartbroken to learn that my little cousin Peter has passed. Such a unique person & beautiful soul. The whole world was his home town and he sang & danced as he traversed it.
