It is with profound sadness that the family announces the passing of Daniel (Dan) Paul Murray of Calgary (originally of Newfoundland), aged 50 years. Dan was born on September 25, 1965 in Placentia, Newfoundland and passed at the Foothills Medical Center in Calgary, Alberta on November 15, 2015 following a courageous battle with heart issues. Dan's passion for life was known to all; his love of travel and the outdoors, his career as a nurse in which he gave so much of himself, but above all his love of family and friends shone in everything he did. Growing up in Newfoundland, he was often found enjoying the outdoors and celebrating life. Following his graduation from the Salvation Army Grace General School of Nursing, he moved to Calgary to begin a distinguished career in the nursing profession. He loved spending time with those he loved, in the mountains near Calgary, and traveling in his old car all over North America with his beloved dog, Lucy. He was predeceased by his father Michael Patrick Murray and sister Sarah Jacinta (Sheppard). He will be missed by his mother Stella Marie Murray, brothers John (Judy), Gerard (Andre), Randy (Jacinthe), Pat (Louisa) and Ken (Cheryl), sisters Tisch (Paul Hickey), Debbie (Miller Ayre) and Sharon (Bill Bazalinski). He held a special place for his Goddaughters Lauren Squires and Lindsay Murray and Godson Mitchell Hickey. His loss will also be felt by many nephews and nieces, his many friends, and his co-workers at the Peter Lougheed Center in Calgary. Dan's family would like to thank the tireless efforts of the staff of Foothill Medical Center CVICU and the support of long time friends Mark Lipton, Judy Duffett-Martin and Paula Crotty. A celebration of Dan's life is being planned; details will be forthcoming from the family. In lieu of flowers, Dan's memory would be honored by a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or a commitment to give blood to the Canadian Red Cross.
