It is with profound sadness that the Shawville Lions Club announces the passing of Lion Barrie Murray on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026 at the age of 85.

Lion Barrie joined our club in 1967 and quickly became a cornerstone of service for our community. During his 60 years of dedication, he led countless club initiatives which raised thousands and thousands of dollars that benefitted endless worthy causes throughout the region.

A Past President, a Melvin Jones Fellow, and Lions International Life Member, Lion Barrie was the true example of who a Lion should be and a mentor for all of us who have followed. 

Our sincere condolences to Tim and Kathy, Nancy and Ken, Vicky and Ken, all the grandchildren, all the great-grandchildren, and the extended Murray and Horner families.

Thank you Lion Barrie for honouring those who came before you and committing so completely to those you were with.

Terry Campbell, on behalf of the Shawville Lions Club
