Murray Dale Chinski

Murray was born on December 16,1958 in Saskatoon, SK to Madeline and Fred Chinski who predeceased him. He grew up on a farm outside of Weyburn with his two sisters and three brothers, Audrey Thackeray (Barry), Fred Chinski (Faye), Len Chinski (Sandy), Barbara McBean (Bob), Darrald Chinski (Jenni).

As a young boy, Murray loved animals and tried to tame the wild. He was always capturing baby owls, hawks, crows, even a fox and trying to raise them. His dog Casey was always by his side and a topic of conversation throughout his life. As he got older his love for animals found him enjoying the outdoors. He loved to camp with friends, hunt, and fish with his brothers and especially his son Josh.

After leaving Weyburn, Murray moved to Medicine Hat where he became a Journeyman Welder. Welding became his choice of career and he soon found employment as a Supervisor and Inspector working in mines in northern Saskatchewan. Later years he worked as a Project Manager at various sites throughout Alberta. He was a hard worker and respected by his colleagues, many who became his best friends. Murray returned to his hometown of Weyburn and was employed in Regina before his health deteriorated.  

Murray was known for his charismatic smile and contagious laugh. His quick wit was enjoyed by everyone he spent time with in his life. He loved to make his daughter Rebecca smile. Murray had many life-long friends and will be missed by friend Debbie and a long list of buddies. Murray was very close with all his siblings; they loved hearing about his many adventures and agree he had the biggest heart. We hope that wherever he is that he’s driving a '67 Chevelle to a beautiful lake and that a huge trout is on the end of his fishing line.  

A Celebration of Murray's Life will be held at a later date due to present circumstances.
