Reginold ‘Reggie’ McMurdo

| December 1, 2021 1:00 AM

Reginold Wayne McMurdo passed away Oct. 16, 2021, at Logan Health Medical Center.

He was born to David Rex McMurdo and Vera Fern Everhart of Whitefish.

Reggie was raised and went to school in Whitefish, graduating from Whitefish High School with the Class of ‘63.

He became an electrician and joined the IBEW Brotherhood of Electricians Union Local 768. He was a member for over 50 years. He was the business agent for nine years. He worked all over the state of Montana and other states.

Reggie was very well known for his building of and racing rails and hot rods. He lived in Whitefish on his property where his friends gathered in his shop for camaraderie, to work on cars and share tall tales. He was a generous person to all and he loved his friends.

During his first marriage his children, Wendy Sue, Keven James and Jessie Allen, were born.

He is survived by his loving wife Wendy, and his son Reggie Allen McMurdo of Whitefish, his brother Martin (Ty) of Vancouver, Washington, his grandson Jessie Jacob McMurdo, his great-grandsons Luke Joseph and Eric James, and his niece and nephew Kelsey and Conner McMurdo. Reggie would also want me to mention his beloved constant companion, his four-legged friend, Tiki.

Jessie was preceded in death by his father David Rex McMurdo, his mother Vera Fern Everhart, his daughter Wendy Sue, and his son Keven James.

There will be a memorial for Reggie at the VFW in Whitefish on Dec. 4 at 3 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, we would like any donations to go to the Ladies Auxiliary at the VFW Post 276.
