RICHARD WILLIAM MCPHERSON

March 29, 1945 - December 18, 2024


Richard William McPherson of Bissett, MB, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, in Palliative Care at the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, surrounded by family.

Richard had a successful career in the Mining industry from the age of 16 until he retired.

Although we mourn your loss, Dad, we also celebrate the remarkable life you lived. You were well-loved, and your stories and antics touched so many lives. We were never surprised when you’d bump into a familiar face, whether that was at an underground mine in Brazil or relaxing in a sauna at Panorama Ski Resort.

He was predeceased by his parents, Bill and Alma (née Henriksson) McPherson, sister Elizabeth, and brother Terry. Richard is survived by his partner, Terry Turvey; his two daughters, Tracy Makarenko (Mike) and Marilyn Halifax (Jimmy Youngberg); four grandchildren, Brett Makarenko (Luke Burrows), Taylor Makarenko, Tibs Halifax, and Connor Halifax; as well as four siblings and numerous nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Richard’s Life will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. in Bissett, MB.
