Richard MURRELL Obituary

Our totara has fallen…

It is with deepest sadness the Murrell family announce the passing of our beloved son, husband, father, brother, Richard (Rick) Charles Murrell on Sunday, July 20, 2025. Adored son of the late Patricia (Pat) and Charles Murrell. Dearly loved husband of Andrea, loving father of Jaimee, Benji, Tayla, and loving stepfather to Gabe. Beloved brother and brother-in-law of Lou, Grant, Bobby, Nicole, Tammie, John, Guy, Amber, Grant, Adriana and Eddie. Devoted grandfather to Rye, Era, Austin, Louie, Ava, Axel, Charlee, Kathy, Teddy and remembered with the greatest love by his nephews and nieces. Loved son-in-law to Jaime and Ligia and a great mate to so many.

Our loss is immeasurable, as is the love he leaves behind.

Goodbye Dad, I will miss you very much
But I will continue to see you in Rye who loves the sea with the same passion you do, who loves his large group of mates like you do and who equally loves a drink stand at birthday parties like you do. I have watched him make some questionable decisions over a couple of cups of fanta ( jump jam). It makes me smile and slightly nervous at the same time. I see you in Era who is afraid of no one and nothing. Who we gently back down from stare offs with mean kids in the park, patting her back telling her it is not worth it... You told me she was you and again it makes me smile but also slightly nervous. We will continue to live full fun lives and I know you will be watching. Keep the sharks away. We will swap notes when I see you again.
Love, Jaimee

To Andrea & Family, please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences on behalf of both myself and the Wairio Trotting Club on the recent passing of Rick. He was a great supporter of not only our club, but a number of sporting organizations in Southland. Nothing was a problem, always done with a smile. A likeable character to deal with. Rick will be missed by all with whom he has had contact with over his years in business and his private life. Rest in Peace.
