In Memoriam

The community of Regis Jesuit remembers and prays for those among us who have passed away and offers condolences to their families. Prayers for the deceased are offered at school.
We make every effort to account accurately for the passing of any alumnus/a, student, faculty or staff member as well as that of any of their parents, spouses or siblings. If we are aware of other relationships the deceased had to members of our community, we do our best to list them as well. We sincerely regret any oversights or errors that may occur.

Memorial donations can be designated to support the education of future generations of young men and women at Regis Jesuit. If you make a memorial gift, the family will be notified of your donation and you will receive an acknowledgment. Please note that memorial gifts are not limited to those listed.

First Friday Mass in  November is offered as a special Remembrance Mass honoring those in our community and their loved ones who have passed away in the preceding year. All are invited to attend.

The names on this page date back to June 2019 and are listed in descending order by the date they were posted.

  • Frank Messenger '60

    Frank Messenger '60, brother of Thomas '65, passed away on October 19, 2025. 

    "His joyful spirit and 60-year teaching legacy will live on in the generations of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and area youth he taught, coached and umpired. Over that career, he taught and coached at over a dozen schools that dot the Colorado landscape. Frank was regarded for his determined work ethic. He called balls and strikes as an accomplished umpire, and he taught life’s lessons in classrooms and on ballfields. His compassion impacted coaching and education around Denver and surrounding areas since the 1960s, including 25-plus years dedicated to a summertime passion leading the Colorado Academy Day Camp. In the classroom, his versatility was reflected by teaching at elementary, middle school and high school levels. Specifically, he spent over 30 years in the Elizabeth School District – primarily in the middle school, including a stint as assistant principal mentoring young teachers. His efforts were awarded with numerous teaching awards and hall of fame distinction for coaching and umpiring by the Colorado Dugout Club Coaches Association, the Colorado High School Baseball Umpires Association and the Denver Metro League."
