Bend’s Shepherd’s House Ministries loses a ‘champion’

Shepherd’s House Ministries in Bend said Thursday it has “lost a champion.” Bill Moe passed away Monday at St. Charles Bend at the age of 78.

Here’s the rest of their announcement:

Bill was unrelentingly generous with his time and talent for the many charitable causes he championed. His charitable passion was motivated by his deep Christian faith. From sponsoring kids in a basketball camp to helping a school for deaf children, to helping the homeless, Bill impacted thousands of lives through his tireless charitable efforts.

Bill embraced a new post-retirement career as Community Relations Director for Shepherd’s House Ministries. He raised funds, recruited volunteers, and mentored men struggling with homelessness and addiction.

As he had in his earlier years, he tackled the work with boundless energy, motivated by his Christian faith. Bill was an active member of Bend Nazarene Church.

A celebration of his life will be held there on Saturday at 1 p.m and all are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, or in memory of Bill, please make a charitable contribution to the Shepherd’s House in Bend, Oregon.
