Gary MOONEY Obituary

With sorrow, we announce the passing of Gary Patrick Mooney on Saturday, May 25, 2024, at Credit Valley Hospital in Mississauga. Beloved son of Andrew and Sylvia (Turpin) Mooney, devoted husband of Brenda (Parker) Mooney; loving father of Jonathan Andrew (Brianna) and Ian James (Gina); and proud grandfather of Jayson, Jayden, and Ava. His family and friends were his greatest joy, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Born July 8, 1946, in St. John's, Newfoundland, Gary was a former Jesuit priest, a lawyer, and businessman who led a remarkable life of service and achievement. In the 1990s, Gary developed his law practice into a niche firm in the emerging world of business, processing and outsourcing services for Canadian banks. He became a title insurance pioneer in Canada. He founded LandCanada Financial Services, and developed it into a national entity with offices in all major regions across the country. In 2004, he sold LandCanada to Fidelity National Financial, a Fortune 500 company, and stayed on as president of the newly branded Fidelity National Financial Canada until 2009, after which time he went on to be the founder and chairman of MyClosing.ca. Gary served on many boards, including the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the Governing Council of the University of Toronto, the Deans Advisory Board at Osgoode Hall Law School, and others. Gary received an honorary Doctor of Commerce from St Mary's University in Halifax, and an honorary Doctor of Laws from the Law Society of Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as a King's Council designation from the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Gary was a devoted family man, a loyal friend, and a generous soul. A visitation will be held at Glen Oaks Funeral Home, 3164 Ninth Line, Oakville, 905 257 8822, on Monday, June 3rd, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. There will be a Funeral Mass at St. Christopher's Roman Catholic Church, 1171 Clarkson Rd. N., Mississauga, on Tuesday, June 4th, at 11 a.m. Online condolences may be made at www.glenoaks.ca

I am very sad to hear of Mr Mooneys passing. I met Mr Mooney during my career with CiBC. He Was one of the greatest people I have ever met in business I admired him very much. Mr Mooney was all ways there for me to sort out any problem I had I could call him direct personally. Brenda I am so very sorry for your loss I did meet you one time at Anderson Sinclair I was in the office a lot. The world is not as safe with Mr Mooneys passing. My condolences to you and your family.
