04/16/1953 – 05/12/2025
It is with heavy hearts we announce the unexpected passing of Richard Henry Moser in
Kenaston, Saskatchewan on May 12, 2025 at the age of 72. He was predeceased by his
parents John and Melvina Moser, parents-in-law Gilbert and Lillian Worton, brother David and brother-in-law Bill.
Richard will be lovingly remembered by his wife Janice; daughters Jennifer Moser-Aikman
(Brodie) and Carolyn Moser-Prpich (Chris); siblings John (Judy), Nancy (Alex), Melvin (Kelly),
Greg, Jeff (Nichole) sister-in-law Barb and their families; and six wonderful grandkids, Harrison, Elliot, Hattie, Gus, Emilia and Wes, to whom he will always be known as ‘Papa’.
Richard was born on April 16, 1953 in Regina. He married Janice on May 18, 1974 at Campion College, where he also received his BA in History in 1977. His career started at the Co-operators, before moving to the family business, Professional Auto Body, for 30+ years. After retirement, Richard and Janice moved to Davidson and then Kenaston, where he worked at the Davidson Co-op Gas Bar and grocery store bakery, loving the people he interacted with daily.
Community and family were always at the core of everything Richard did. From coaching, to being involved in Recreation Boards and Community Associations, Richard’s passion of
connecting with others was felt by everyone around him. He believed in simple pleasures – a good book or his favourite TV show (paired with a favourite snack); a quiet afternoon on the deck with Janice and his puzzles; an evening of dinner and games surrounded by his family; these were the times he was happiest.
His warmth and good nature were also displayed by his love of animals. You could always find a dog or cat on his lap, drawn to his loving soul the same way his family and friends were.
Richard had so much love to share as a husband, father, grandfather and friend. The gift Richard gave all of us was his unwavering optimism. Richard could always help you see the bright side and it’s a gift we will lean on more than ever in his passing.
There was a Celebration of Richard’s Life on Thursday, May 22 in Kenaston, Saskatchewan. His family and friends shared stories and support as they remembered his life, legacy and infectious laugh.
