I'm so sorry that Stephen's gone and that his loved ones will have to go on without his kindness, humour and wit. He gave so much of himself and his dedication to make the world a better place will always be inspiring to me. Reflecting on Stephen's life over the past few days, I know myself and others will carry his memory forward by trying to live more by his example - one of community spirit, hope, optimism, generosity and perseverance.

I am very saddened to hear the news of Stephen's passing. We worked together on the Sessional Advocacy Committee, University of Regina Faculty Association, for many years. I learned quickly that if Stephen said he would do something he always followed through. He was a good writer and provided much guidance for this committee.

Stephen was a special professor in my schooling, who I took a number of classes from. The warmth, good nature, and humour that he brought to the classroom was one of the great highlights of my education. His passion for his work, along with his kindness, made him a truly extraordinary professor and an even better person. His legacy lives on the lives that he touched. My sincerest condolences to his family.

Dear Susan and Emily,
Steve was extremely kind to me when we were graduate students together at Queen's in the 1990s. I remember him driving me around in the cold Kingston winters when I had no car. Dinners in the Bauman-Moore home, when Emily was a baby, warmed my heart and spirit. The hospitality, generosity, and acceptance were like nothing I had ever experienced before. I also remember your family advent wreath and Steve helping Emily light a candle one evening when she was about three. It was a strikingly beautiful picture of parental love ... a reflection of God's father-love. Peace be with you.
In Christ,
Natasha

In politics you meet all sorts of people, good and bad. Sometimes you meet the best people. I've been fortunate to meet all kinds. None of them were better than Stephen Moore. I don't have the capacity right now to articulate what he meant to me and my family. But It was never about Stephen, always about others. He was the kindest most selfless man I ever knew, with a sense of humour,that lit up a room. Uncle Steve to my kids. The good Dr to me.
As a political pair we made an odd couple. But he made me better, made me believe in people more, and by his example he pushed me to do more. He made me better and I will forever be grateful.
I am grateful that We had some time last night to say goodbye.
To Stephens friends and family out east, thank you for lending him to us, these past years!
"One more and my cheque."

Dear Susan and the Moore family: it is with tremendous sadness that I read of Stephen's death. He has so clearly touched so many lives since our years together at Queen's. May you take comfort in his wide sphere of influence: love, passion, justice and integrity are fitting legacies but cannot replace the husband, father, son, brother etc that you cherish so deeply.
With deepest sympathy,
Margaret Anne Smith

Fraser Needham posted a condolence
Saturday, August 19, 2017
To say this has been a difficult summer would be a massive understatement.
A little over a month ago, I lost my good friend Don Black. Last week, another great guy from the Sask NDP Fred Kress passed away and today we lost Stephen Moore.
Stephen was one of my best friends when I lived in Regina from 2002 to 2012. We were both new to the province and city and got to know each other really well through our involvement in the Sask NDP. We both lived in and were very active in the Wascana federal and Regina Douglas Park provincial riding associations.
Stephen held a PhD in English from Queen's University and was an expert in Medieval literature. His day job was as a lecturer at the University of Regina - a role he performed excellently. However, I think I am correct in saying Stephen found his true calling and passion in activism and politics. He spent countless hours volunteering in the peace and climate change movements and of course the NDP. He also spent a good number of hours every week teaching basic literacy skills through the Regina Public Library and was very involved in community outreach through his church. He did these things not because of what they could do for him but because he believed someone who was fortunate enough to be highly educated as he was should give back to his community.
I think Stephen's dream was to one day be an elected representative for the NDP and I know he would have made an excellent MP or MLA. He ran as the NDP candidate in Wascana in the 2008 federal election and sought the NDP nomination in Regina Douglas Park for the 2016 provincial election. In the 2008 election, he showed just how skillful a public speaker and debater he was besting each of the Liberal, Conservative and Green candidates at most events. Although not yet successful, I have no doubt that Stephen's intelligence, hard work, integrity and values would have led him to either Parliament Hill or the Saskatchewan Legislature sooner rather than later.
Our friendship started at the constituency NDP level but we ended up spending a lot of our free time going to concerts, attending provincial and federal NDP conventions, movie nights and in discussion over coffee or beer at any number of places in and around Regina with our other close friends Rick Pollard, Trevor Morin and Heath Packman. Stephen was one of the most gentle and caring men I ever met. I don't think I ever heard him swear or say a negative thing about anyone (well, maybe Stephen Harper - haha). He was so committed to his various volunteer duties that he often worried whether people thought he was doing a good job or not.
Anyone who knew Stephen knows he rode his bike all year round come rain or shine, sleet or snow. Similar in this way to our late Federal NDP Leader Jack Layton. I will always remember the many times I was in an animated political discussion with Stephen when he would suddenly look at his watch, put on his bicycle helmet and race off to whatever activist meeting he had on his agenda that day.
Like Jack before him, Stephen took his last bicycle ride today. Except this time, his wheels left the ground as he rode up high into the sky to join Jack. One journey is over but another has begun as these two will continue to bring peace, love and good will the world over forever more.
Goodbye my dear friend and my deepest condolences to Stephen's wife Susan Bauman Moore, his daughter Emily and his extended family in New Brunswick.

I did not know Stephen well, having retired from the English Department before he joined.
But I heard many nice things about him and his dedication to people and causes. By all accounts he was a fine man, and whether one new him or not the world is the poorer for the loss.

I understand that there has been a request from the family to re-post Facebook tributes in this space. This is my post from Wednesday, August 16th:
My very good friend, Stephen Moore, passed away this afternoon.
I don't even know where to begin to find the words. I know I haven't really processed my own feelings. I'm writing this post in the hopes that, in doing so, my feelings will become clear. Stephen was a gifted writer, a lover of the power of language, and I believe he would have understood, although I know my own words will not be equal to the task of summarizing what his loss means.
How to describe my friend Stephen?
Stephen was fiercely intelligent, likely one of the smartest people I will ever be privileged to know. And he was knowledgeable about a lot of different things, not the least of them being medieval literature. I remember visiting Canterbury Cathedral in the summer of 2010 and wishing he was with me for the entire time I was there, not just because I know he would have loved it, but because he would have had so much insight to share.
Stephen had a razor sharp wit. He had a way of summarizing situations that was clever and cutting, but he was never cruel. Because he was also one of the most fundamentally kind-hearted and decent people I ever met and he would agonize over whether he had unintentionally hurt someone else's feelings.
Stephen and I shared a lot of the same values, but I admired him for more than our shared values. I admired his commitment to living them, and to acting on them.
Stephen was a leader in the Regina Douglas Park NDP and the Wascana NDP, not because he always held important titles but because he could always be counted on to do what needed to be done.
Stephen showed the same commitment to the peace movement--attending weekly vigils during most of the time he lived in Regina.
Stephen was a volunteer for local literacy programs.
And Stephen did his part to combat climate change, riding his bike almost everywhere he went, even in the dead of Regina winter. (Which, for the record, means he was also a little insane).
Stephen did all of these things while maintaining his trademark humility. He lived his values but he seldom adopted a posture of moral superiority. He simply tried to lead by example.
Stephen loved his wife and family, and in particular, he adored his daughter Emily. I can't begin to imagine how devastating this loss is to them.
Now comes the harder part-trying to explain what my friend Stephen and I shared.
Stephen and I must have spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours, together at the Fireside Bistro, at Bushwakker, at Brewster's and a host of other places dissecting the issues of the day, usually for hours at a time. (In the case of Fireside, the poor service was usually also a topic of conversation, although we kept going back for the patio). Sometimes, we were alone or in a small group; sometimes the groups were larger. But those conversations were a staple of my life for years and to this day, form some of my fondest memories.
Stephen's family and I spent several Christmases together; he knew that holidays could be lonely for those of us far away from family and he made sure I didn't spend the day alone. Our crew also took a number of weekend trips to Duck Mountain Lodge; those weekends continue to be one of the things I miss most about moving away.
Stephen had good taste in movies; A Lion in Winter was a mutual favourite of ours, and one that I will likely re-watch sometime over the next few days in his honour. There were dozens of movie nights over the years with our friends. We watched everything from James Bond to Alfred Hitchcock to trashy horror films; we even endured Fraser Needham's appalling obsession with 1980's classics once or twice. Just the other night, I went to see the Little Hours (which was allegedly inspired by the medieval classic the Decameron). I wondered what Stephen would have thought of it. I texted him about it, and it turned out to be one of the last texts I ever sent him.
Stephen was also a fierce lover of New Brunswick. Over the years, I teased him about his love for his home province, suggesting on more than one occasion that it was the least interesting of the Atlantic provinces. But he got even. One Christmas, he gave me a picture with the following words inscribed on the back: " Because of your fondness for the beauty of NB, I thought I would pick you up a little souvenir of the Picture Province." The image he chose was an artist's rendering of the view below--the sea caves near St. Martin's. Over the years, this has become one of my favourite pictures. So I guess he won that argument the way he always did- he simply made the better argument.
God speed you on your way, my friend. RIP.

My good friend has passed away, and all my thoughts are with his family.
On Tuesday, I was working in my new classroom. A tall window looks out onto a sprawling field of strong trees. It reminded me of a poem he helped interpret for my kids; A Canadiana piece by Bliss Carmen below.
For me, the poem is a vivid reminder that there's a lot of beauty in this world. It's hard to see it in times of such challenge -- of which there seem to be many in the news and, for some, in personal lives. But the good is there, shining in bright colours, like his mind and soul.
One thing a lot of people might not know -- Not only did he love learning, but he was also interested in French Immersion, and sometimes came across great resources. A few days ago, he asked me if I shared with my kids how The Tales of King Arthur originate in French literature. He thought they'd love it. Well, Steve, I'm sure they will when I do so from now on.
My husband always said Stephen was a magnificent person with whom to talk. His knowledge and interest in a variety of topics, his genuine desire to listen to and embrace differing opinions as part of a larger puzzle -- sometimes combining his ideas with yours -- and his good sense of humour, made for a fantastic friend.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his loving family -- Susan and Emily, and those in New Brunswick. We are sorry for your loss, and thinking of you.
A Vagabond Song
By Bliss Carman
1861-1929
There is something in the autumn that is native to my blood --
Touch of manner, hint of mood;
And my heart is like a rhyme,
With the yellow and the purple and the crimson keeping time.
The scarlet of the maples can shake me like a cry
Of bugles going by.
And my lonely spirit thrills
To see the frosty asters like a smoke upon the hills.
There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir;
We must rise and follow her,
When from every hill of flame
She calls and calls each vagabond by name.

Susan and Emily, my thoughts and prayers are with you in the face of this shocking loss. We will all miss Stephen terribly. He was not simply a gifted and inspiring teaching. His was a truly generous soul and a tender heart. Committed to causes of justice, he never failed to be loving, compassionate, and full of witty good humour. He touched so many lives, mine among them, and he will be widely and sincerely mourned. The example of his life of love and service is an occasion for our humility and emulation and will be a lasting and worthy legacy: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”

Just want to express my deep condolences on behalf of myself and Cathie to the Moore family with the passing of Stephen. I didn't know Stephen but from what Cathie has told me, he was an exceptional scholar and high achiever and a much respected member of the teaching fraternity. You also had to admire his politics. May you all embrace his memory and find comfort in that he has gone to a greater place without the pain that he no doubt felt in his final years on earth. And no doubt he will be your guardian angel moving forward.
