Friends, Family Mourn Death Of Rockland Assistant District Attorney

BARDONIA, NY — Family and friends are mourning Stephen Moore, who died April 13 after a fight with lung cancer.

"It is with profound sadness and with a broken heart we announce the passing of Executive Assistant District Attorney Stephen Moore," the DA's Office said on Facebook.

Moore grew up in Rockland County and began his 30-plus-year career at the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office on Aug. 20, 1984 after graduating from Fordham University and Pace University Law School, the DA's office said.

During his time at the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office, Steve has fought and won many headline murder trials. In March he worked his last case, Executive ADA Moore assisted in securing the guilty conviction of a 2018 homicide in West Nyack.

In the office, he will be remembered for his mentorship of young Assistant District Attorneys. Executive ADA Moore’s legacy will live on in all of the attorneys who were so lucky to have got the opportunity to work with him.

Steve fought valiantly through a medical condition and sadly succumbed to his illness last night.

Steve Moore was a father, a friend, a legal titan, and is someone this office will never forget. Our deepest condolences to the Moore family during this difficult time.

On GoFundMe, Paul D’Amico, one of the organizers of the fundraiser, said, "Steve was a hard working ADA in Rockland county and was an amazing father to his girls Ashlyn and Christyn."

They've raised $23,020 of their $50,000 goal to help the two continue their educations without interruption.
