Stephen Mooney Obituary

Stephen E. Mooney, Jr., husband of Jessica Maillie Mooney, passed away on December 22, 2021. Stephen was born on April 9, 1988 in Reading, PA. As a graduate of Governor Mifflin High School, he was a proud leader on the wrestling team. He graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a degree in Labor Relations. Stephen’s adventurous spirit took him around the world, living at times in Hungary, Mexico, Brazil, and Chile. In Mexico, he worked to improve the conditions for many underprivileged workers. In Chile he served as a Fulbright Scholar, working with high schools to develop an awareness of the importance of the trades. For the past several years Stephen worked with McKinsey & Company as the Solution Leader and Engagement Manager. During his travels he built long lasting friendships that spanned the globe, learning multiple languages and immersing himself in the culture. On Saturday mornings, you could find him at the local café with a coffee, a book and a pen for writing letters. Stephen’s love of Sea Isle City, NJ was boundless. He enjoyed as much time as possible in Sea Isle during the summer months on the beach, surfing, boating, and spending time with his many lifelong friends and relatives. Above all else he loved his family. He was always available to talk and help, especially to make his family and friends laugh, all of whom miss him dearly. He is survived by his wife, Jessica, his parents Stephen and Nancy, his sisters Caitlin and husband Darshan Roy, Molly Mooney, Jessie Mooney and fiancé Joseph King, and his godson Aravind Roy. A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday January 7th at 11:00AM at St. Joseph’s Church in Sea Isle City, NJ. Masks are required to attend, and there will be no viewing or receiving line. Social distancing is highly encouraged. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Surfrider Foundation would be appreciated.

Our prayers, and the prayers of our local church in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, NY have and continue to be active for Stephen's wife, parents, siblings, and extended family and friends. May you all feel the presence of the great comforter during this time. We did not know Stephen well, but had hoped to cross paths, as we live in a surfing community not far from him, in NYC. We are grateful that we can make a donation in his memory, to an organization that fits with his love of surfing and one that we are also familiar with. We wish we could have been at the service, to celebrate his life, in person. From what we are reading, he lived a beautiful life, with love and service to others. Our hearts are with you.

My deepest condolences to the Mooney family.
I worked with Steve for the first time this past year on a very long project. Sometimes working long hours together... Steve always found little ways to inject joy and humor into our many zoom calls. And there were many! But it never felt like work with Steve. He brought a lightness to the
project while giving it his all. He was always willing to lend a hand, share a smile. A very kind spirit. Due to Covid, I never met him. But I am so happy I had an opportunity to know him. I will miss him.

I cannot believe he is no longer with us. He will be missed.
