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.
