Murray peacefully passed away at the age of 78 years on January 5th, 2020 with his daughters by his side at the Regina Pasqua Hospital. He was predeceased by his parents Jacob and Sadie Haus and sister Gloria. He is survived by his loving daughters Reagan Haus and Erin Shaw; sons-in-law Glen Forrester and Simon Shaw; grandchildren Trystan Haus, Linden and Isabel Shaw; sisters Shirley (Bob) Furse, Elaine Smiley, Debra (John) Wiancko; brother Rob Purves; and many loving nieces, nephews and friends. Growing up in Regina, Murray attended Connaught Elementary School and Central Collegiate. Murray began working for the Provincial Government Lands Branch in 1958. Throughout his 30 years with the government, he worked in several departments until his retirement in 1988. Murray (Muzz) made many good friends throughout his life from high school, the hockey teams he managed, and his neighbourhood. An outdoorsman at heart, he loved spending time at Regina Beach, travelling to Mexico, Barbados and Hawaii, fishing, building a dune buggy, and spending time in his yard gardening and tending to his flowers. Murray would often surprise friends and family with his jokester ways and delivered one liners that always resulted in a hearty laugh. Ultimately, Murray was a family man. He was a devoted son taking care of his mother for whom he would do anything until she passed in 2006. Murray was a wonderful brother to his 3 sisters visiting them as often as he could in Alberta & Ontario. Lastly, he was a dedicated father being a stable, generous, and loving figure for them.
