Murray passed away peacefully on December 19, 2019 just 9 days before his 90th birthday. He was born and raised in Nobleton; son of the late Lorne Albert Sheardown and Rosa Maude Baker, and brother to the late Ronald Sheardown.
Murray was a farmer at heart. He shipped milk as a dairy farmer in the 1950’s and 60’s and always maintained a “hobby farm”. He worked 25 years for the Department of Transport at Pearson Airport.
Community service was always at the heart of his work. Murray was a municipal councillor in both King Township and Mono Township. As a Lion, for almost 50 years, he spent countless hours selling tickets for a variety of fundraisers. He was particularly passionate about supporting the Guide Dog program.
Murray is survived by his 3 children, Paul (Anne), Ann (Sean), Carl (Martha); their mother, Mary Sheardown (nee Kehoe); his 6 grandchildren, Sam, Devon, Thomas, Rachel, Michael and Jonathan.
