David (Dave) S. Moore
1954-2022
David (Dave) Stephen Moore, 68, of Moncton, passed away at
home on June 18, 2022 under the care of the NB Extra-Mural Palliative
Care Program, after a well fought 4 year battle with Mesothelioma. He
was the husband of his loving wife of 36 years Dr. Shani Jones, and
was born in Saint John to the late J. Hawley and Selena (Wagner)
Moore.
Surviving in addition to his wife are his brother Jim
(Madelene) Moore of Saint John, nieces Lori Anne (David) Baltus and
Megan (Steve) Doucette, nephews the Rev. Peter (Patricia) Moore, Darcy
(Krista) McKim, and Ryan (Jill) McKim, and several grand nieces and
nephews. Dave was predeceased by his sister and brother-in-law
Charlotte and George McKim, and by his brother Andrew Moore. Welsh
corgis Jenny, Taffy, and Annie were an extremely important part of
Dave’s life.
Dave spent his career as a research technician for the
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, starting in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea
where he met Shani, and moving to Halifax and later to Moncton in
1988. He spent many years working with Atlantic Salmon on the
Miramichi River, something that suited his love of nature and the
outdoors.
Dave had a lifelong passion for physical activity. No day was
considered complete without some form of exercise, preferably aerobic.
His early years in Saint John were spent primarily sailing, first as
crew, and later in Halifax as captain of his own J24 racing sailboat.
The Bedford Basin Yacht Club was his second home, and every regatta on
the South Shore was attended. After moving to Moncton Dave fell in
love with Cross-Country Skiing. He skied as often as possible and
during the summer roller-skied or cycled. He was a founding member of
Ski Codiac in the Moncton area, and was also involved in cross-country
skiing at the provincial and national level. He was president of
Cross-Country NB from 2004-2019 and with this role became involved
with Nordiq Canada as a Board member. He received Volunteer of the
Year award in 2019 from them for his contributions to
promoting cross-country skiing. When forced to slow down due
to his diagnosis, Dave took up striped bass fishing as an activity
with his buddy Victor. His other interest in life was the environment
and the battle against climate change and global
warming.
The family would like to thank all those who contributed to
Dave’s care over the last 4 years. The nurses and staff at
the Dr. Sheldon H. Rubin Oncology Clinic were amazing, as were the
team at Driscoll Extra-Mural Program. We could not have gotten through
this journey without you. Special thanks to EMP nurses Andrea Tait,
Jennifer Stewart, and Tracy Beal ; caregivers Brian Poirier, Cathy
Belliveau, and Susan Titus ; physicians Dr. Mahmoud Abdelsalam, Dr.
Bertin Mallet, Dr. Melanise Doucet, and Dr. Pat Phelan.
Donations in Dave’s memory can be made to NB
