<div itemprop="description">A good man will be greatly missed. <br /> <br />Murray Gerald Yarish of Red Deer, Alberta, passed away peacefully at home with his family on July 30, 2015 at the age of 66 years. <br /> <br />Murray spent time as a respiratory therapist, healthcare manager, devoted husband, loving father and extraordinary grandfather. He enjoyed horseback riding, golfing, skiing, curling, camping, traveling, gardening, and inventing creative new games to amuse his grandchildren. <br /> <br />He will forever live in the hearts of his wife and best friend, Darlene, of Red Deer, Alberta; daughter, Colleen (Travis) Larder, of Red Deer, Alberta; son, Chris (Kristin) Yarish of Calgary, Alberta; grandsons Evan and Kyle Larder; granddaughter Malia Yarish; his brother, sister, niece and nephew and their spouses; and good friends, old and new. <br /> <br />Although he lived with cancer for nine years, he never let it or the significant effects of treatment define him. Murray always found ways to live on his own terms, ensuring that his life was filled with love, laughter, family, friendship and great experiences. He appreciated good rum, genuine humour and savouring the beauty, scent and solitude of the great outdoors. Throughout his life, Murray was a great believer in performing anonymous, random acts of kindness for friends and strangers, and in his memory we will follow his example. <br /> <br />A Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday, August 5, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at Red Deer Funeral Home, 6150 &ndash; 67 Street, Red Deer, Alberta. <br /> <br />If you desire, donations may be made in Murray&rsquo;s name to The Lending Cupboard in Red Deer, Alberta or the Red Deer Loaves &amp; Fishes School Lunch Program. <br /> <br />&ldquo;Live life as if the gate was left wide open.&rdquo; <br /></div>
