June 15. 2020

Phil and Courtney Mooney died in a motorcycle crash in the Edmonton area on Friday, June 12, 2020.

An Edmonton couple killed in a motorcycle crash Friday evening are being remembered as a pair of loving parents who volunteered often to support local veterans.

Phil Mooney, 39, and Courtney Mooney, 37, died after a head-on collision Friday on Highway 28A and 246 Avenue near Manning Drive.

The pair were both riding a motorcycle that collided with a Ford Focus at around 10:30 p.m.

The local chapter of the Nam Knights Motorcycle Club shared a post remembering the two on Saturday evening.

According to its website, the Nam Knights club aims to raise money for veterans and law enforcement members through fundraising and awareness campaigns.

Phil was a veteran who had served in Afghanistan with the Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) Regiment, and more recently worked at the Royal Canadian Legion’s Edmonton Service Bureau along with his wife to support other veterans.

The Leduc Legion Branch No. 108 said on its Facebook page Sunday that Phil and Courtney had both volunteered tirelessly.

"They shared their kindness at many fundraising events further helping veterans and others," the post said.

"Our hearts are broken. We will remember them."

An emailed statement from the Edmonton Nam Knights club said the crash had happened following a group meeting.

"They were returning from spending time with other members of the Nam Knights," the statement said. "Tragically, they leave two children behind: Hannah, a new teenager full of energy and life, and Ashton, a rapidly growing boy who was wide open to the world around him."
