Maurice "Moe" Gauthier

Maurice Shawn Gauthier (Moe), age 60, passed away peacefully on September 1, 2025. Born in Oshawa, Ontario, Moe spent his childhood years in Minto, New Brunswick, before moving to Alberta, where he lived most of his adult life.

Moe will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Carol; his mother, Fay, and stepfather, Bob; his children and their families: Maurice and his wife, Robin, with their children Traxton and Huxley; Terry with his children Hunter, Eli, and Remi; and Samantha and her husband, Oliver, with their daughter Shaylee. He will also be deeply missed by his many aunts, uncles, and cousins, who loved him dearly. Moe was predeceased by his father, Maurice Sr., and his older brother, Ronnie.

Diagnosed with Facialscapitalhumeral Muscular Dystrophy in his mid-twenties, Moe never gave up fighting. For over 30 years he faced the disease with courage, resilience, and unwavering spirit. Reaching the milestone age of 60 was a testament to his determination and strength, inspiring all who knew him.

Moe had many passions in life. He loved fishing, golfing, playing the guitar, woodworking, and oil painting. His creativity was boundless, and his talents left a lasting mark. Whatever he put his mind to, he achieved.

Above all, Moe was an extraordinary husband, father, son, grandfather, nephew, and friend. He was deeply loved by his family and will be forever remembered for his strength, love, and determination.
