Mayor Murray Fearrey

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Dysart et al Mayor Murray Fearrey on May 28th, 2026.

Murray served our community with dedication, compassion and integrity. Throughout his time in office, which spans back to 1971, he worked tirelessly to support the residents of our community at both the Dysart et al and County Council tables.

On behalf of Council and municipal staff, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Donna McCallum and the rest of his family, friends, colleagues, and all those who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside our Mayor.

Murray’s leadership, commitment, and presence will be greatly missed throughout the municipality and beyond.

Municipal flags have been lowered to half-mast in honour of Mayor Fearrey.

His family created a website in honour of his long history of community service that details many of the contributions that he made during his lifetime. 

Rest in peace Murray
