Obituary of Stephen Gerard Moore
STEPHEN GERARD MOORE
It is with deep sadness that the Bauman-Moore family announces the passing of their husband and father, Stephen, on Wednesday, August 16, 2017 at the Pasqua Hospital in Regina, SK. Born on Oct. 23, 1969, in Saint John, NB, Stephen was the son of John and Eleanor (Morris) Moore of Saint John. He graduated from St. Malachy's Memorial High School in Saint John, NB and St. Thomas University in Fredericton, NB, and then went on to obtain both a Masters of English and a Doctor of Philosophy from Queen's University at Kingston, ON. Stephen was a gifted teacher, who taught at both the Royal Military College and Queen's University in Kingston, ON, and Trent University in both Oshawa and Peterborough, ON early in his career, before finally moving his family to Regina, SK in 2002, where he taught for more than a decade at the University of Regina, as well as at Campion and Luther Colleges. Stephen has also been a very active member of the NDP as a candidate, volunteer and campaign worker at both the federal and provincial level as well as being a member of the executive in the riding of Wascana. In 2009, Stephen took on the role of Chief of Staff for the Opposition Caucus in the Saskatchewan Legislature, a position he held for two years. Over many years he has been a keen participant in his community and a strong promoter of the peace movement. He was active in his union (the University of Regina Faculty Association) and also served as Grievance Chair for two years. Additionally, he supported a number of local and international efforts for social justice. A dedicated volunteer, he worked to advance important causes like refugee resettlement and literacy. Stephen also served as Chair of the Regina and Area Refugee Support Group, Chair of the Peace and Service Committee at Grace Mennonite Church, and a member of the organizing committee of the 2006 Making Peace with Earth Conference in Regina. In April of 2009, he was awarded the Saskatchewan Literacy Award of Merit (Volunteer) for his ESL tutoring at the Regina Public Library.
Besides his parents, Stephen is survived by his wife Susan Bauman of Regina, SK, and daughter, Emily Moore of Ottawa, ON; sisters, Beth Frawley (Paul) of Whitby, ON; Colleen Comeau (Chris Burns) of Fredericton; Sue Moore (Lynn) of Fredericton; brother, Andrew Moore (Jill) of Oromocto; father and mother-in-law, Ken and Ruth Bauman of Elmira, ON; sister-in-law, Colleen Bauman (Mike Patullo) of Ottawa, ON; brother-in-law, Nevin Bauman (Sharon Tiessen) of Toronto, ON. He will be sadly missed by his nieces and nephews, whom he loved very much: Eryn and Matthew Frawley, David Comeau, Jeremy Bauman, Massimo, Nicholas and Clara Patullo, Peter and Julia Moore; his special aunts, Frances Clements (Dick Scott), and Betty Dine; and dear cousins Nicole Clements (Todd Chabot) and Cathy Clements (Dave Maitland). Before sending him home finally “to be safe in the harbour again” with the likes of Eric Bogle and Stan Rogers, the family will host a memorial service for this lifelong Maritimer to be held at the Campion Chapel, Campion College, 3737 Wascana Pkwy, University of Regina on Tuesday, August 22, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. There will be a gathering with refreshments beforehand at 12:00 p.m. in the Campion Commons. Parking is available in Lot 13. There will also be a Catholic Mass held in Stephen's honour at St. Pius X Church, 316 Somerset St. in his hometown of Saint John, NB on Wednesday, August 23, 2017 at 12:00 p.m. Interment will take place at St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Saint John, NB.
The family would like to thank the doctors and staff of both Regina General Hospital and Pasqua Hospital, and especially Dr. Evan Franko, along with the excellent doctors and nurses in the Medical Surveillance Unit at Pasqua, for their excellent care these past months, as well as Stephen’s extended family and many close friends for their love, prayers and support.
In lieu of flowers, cards or gifts, Stephen’s family requests that donations be made to the Marian Centre, 1835 Halifax Street, Regina, SK S4P 1T4.
