Obituary for Liam Neumann
NEUMANN, Liam – Died in a tragic accident on Sunday June 25th, in St. Catharines, Ontario, at the age of 34. Beloved son of Barbara Worthy and Ronald Neumann, brother to Jordin Neumann, uncle to Bowan and Sophia, and devoted dog parent to Brody. He is survived by members of the Worthy family: Uncle John, Ian, Jenn, Cheryl, Josh, Justin, Jarrod, Jake, Carri-Ann, Chelsea, Taylor, and Alex; and many members of the Neumann family including Uncle Vince, Aunt Pauline, Nancy, Christine, Jim, Peter, Denise, Karen, Lisa, Kim, Wayne, Bryan, David, Janet, and John, in Canada and abroad.
Liam was a graduate of Parliament Oak Elementary School and Niagara District Secondary School, (Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario); University of Guelph, (Bachelor of Arts, Honours, International Development); and University of Waterloo (Master of Development Practice).
Liam was a lover of all things active (hockey, basketball, lacrosse, snowboarding); a devotee of David Attenborough, poetry, classical music, and Queen; preferred all things pink; was a fearless adventurer, disobeyed countless rules, and above all was passionate, witty, and brilliant.
A citizen of the world, Liam travelled the globe his entire life. He had multi trips to Europe as a child, spent a gap year traversing Asia, travelling on a motorcycle, wagon, boat or tractor; and then as a young professional his career took him to four continents, working in project management and external relations, with a specialty in humanitarian affairs, gender equality, food security, and sustainable socioeconomic development.
He was also the recipient of numerous academic grants and awards, as well as published in the International Conference on Sustainable Development.
His travels with his beloved dog, Brody, were legendary. Brody became as well known in Cote d’Ivoire, West Africa, as he was on the streets of St. Catharines.
Liam always said he would die for his dog, and tragically he did. Brody survived, Liam did not.
