Amos Beharry
Amos Beharry was born April 22nd 1929 at Plantation Port Mourant, Guyana. He passed away on Sunday, January 3rd, 2021. He was one of eight brothers and four sisters. He was educated at Rose Hall Catholic School then Corentyne High School where he got the London Junior & Cambridge certificate. He then entered the Guyana Teacher’s Training College where he graduated with the teacher’s first class certificate. He started teaching at the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic School in Georgetown, Guyana where he served for several years. In 1958 he married Hyacinth Beharry (née Ten-Pow).
They both left for England where he was admitted to Queen’s University in Belfast and graduated with a medical degree in 1966. This union produced three children – Shauna, Pauline and Peter.
He worked in Northern Ireland then returned to Guyana and worked at the Seventh Day Adventist Hospital for a year. Returning to Ireland during the time of the troubles, he took steps to move his family to Canada and settled eventually in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. There, he practiced devotedly as a doctor for 32 years. In 1988, Hyacinth sadly passed away. He later married Lily Walker in 2000 who also passed away in 2005. Amos loved being a doctor. The arts, nature, and his strong faith life as well as his family and community were a source of unending joy.
Amos is survived by his daughters, Shauna (Gregory) and Pauline (Trevor); grandson, Lincoln; and his son, Peter (Carrie). Also by his siblings: Doreen, Stella, Randolph, David; and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.

I got to know Dr Beharry when I moved to Caronport in 1986 and was part of the same call group. I remember his love of music, his learning to play the piano.
Your Father was a wonderful, compassionate, and caring man..he was my Dr in the 70’s and ,80’s…I will never forget him..may he rest in peace. Please accept my deep felt sympathy for the loss of your wonderful Father
I had the pleasure of knowing Dr Beharry through work.
He always had a cute little giggle and would love to tease and say what’s the date today? when doing his notes.
A visit was always necessary after his rounds.
Treated each of his patients with kindness
Sorry for your loss
Shauna, Pauline and Peter:
I am very saddened by the passing of your father.
I have many fond memories of being at your home on Grandview and surrounded by happiness and activity, with your mother and father being the center of it.
Your father, who worked long hours as a physician, always found time to check in with Shauna and I on what we were doing and was genuinely interested in what was going on with me and asking me questions. He always asked after my mom and dad.
I remember him as being a gentle, kind and thoughtful man and I will miss him.
Your dad was a bright light and a kind soul. I remember him from our days at St Michaels and All Angels. My mom (Gail Cox) still likes to tell the story of how he thought she had just one daughter, who changed her hairstyle often – apparently we didn’t often show up at the same time! It still makes us laugh. Thinking of each of you now.
Pauline, Shauna, Peter and family, our condolences on your loss. Dr Beharry’s generosity will always be remembered.
Shauna, Pauline, Peter and families, our dear brother and uncle Amos will forever be in our memories. Our heartfelt sympathy to all of you. Always remember him and share those wonderful moments you have spent with him. Our love and prayers will forever be with all of you.
MAY HE REST IN PEACE.
So sorry for the loss of your father. Amos was a friend and respected colleague of my husband Dr Razvi.
Very sorry to hear of Dr Beharry passing. Please accept our deepest condolences.
Dr. Beharry delivered all 4 of our Baby girls although he nearly missed 2 of them! He was a kind, caring doctor all through the years!!! We shared many good visits ~ I loved when he would bring out his New Testament from his desk drawer, speaking of God’s amazing Grace! and his courage in learning to play the piano!!!
Hi Shauna, Pauline, and Peter please accept our condolences at this sad time, remembering the Family when we all lived in Moose Jaw. Your Dad was a gentle and kind spirit, as believers we know that your Dad is absent from the body, and present with the LORD.
Blessings and Love. The Ashmeade Family– Trevor, Barbara, Tyrone, and Vince.
Peter, Shauna, Pauline and family

My Sincere Condolences to All Your Family! Your Father was my Dr. For many years.. He was a very caring man who was truly interested in his patients and always asked about my children when I would see him..Your Dad delivered 2 of my children .. He was not just a Dr. he was a Counselor and an Encourager too, he always had some good advise to give in his caring way, even quoting Scriptures .. and I must tell you how he would speak so highly of you all! like only a proud Father would
I was very saddened to hear of Beharry’s passing. We was one of the first physicians I met when I moved to Moose Jaw 20 years ago. We hit it off right away. I always enjoyed our talks and hearing about his family. He was always excited to update me on how everyone was doing. He will be missed by many.
Sending LOVE from our family to yours.
I will always remember Amos making me and Nicole curry.
And of course who could forget “Driver Macgyver”!
And that laugh!
An almost child-like giggle…
Rest in peace, Amos.
My condolences Pauline.
Pauline, I’m so heartbroken for you and your family. I’m so so sorry about your dad’s passing. Big hugs to you.
It was a great satisfaction to witness your dad and my uncle’s last rites at his funeral. It was very poetic and Christian. May he rest in eternal heavenly bliss forever. May you Shauna, Pauline, and Peter have the strength and power to overcome your loss. Your dad will guide and watch over you all. God bless you all.
Our most sincere condolences to your entire Family. Amos was always a joyful & spirit filled man . It was a privilege to be at that final zoom service where he joyfully waved to us. We could feel the love & it was truly returned. Our love & our prayers are with each one of You during this difficult time.
I’m so very sorry to have just read about Dr. BeHarry’s passing..He was my doctor for many Year’s untill his retirement..
He was a caring soul with a heart of gold and a passionate ear to listen to any kind of problems that his patients may have..My condolences to Your Family..
Rest in Paradise
I worked with your dad for many years as a nurse and nurse manager. He always took time with his patients and always stopped to chart – inviting the us to sit a bit and have a visit. In later years at Providence Place, he always sought out me in my office, again for a short visit on life. He will be missed.
Condolences to Peter and family.
My condolences to the family of Dr. Beharry. I had the privilege of becoming acquainted with this fine gentleman during the brief time I lived in Moose Jaw. He was a deeply spiritual man, with whom I enjoyed many spiritual conversations. His love for family and friends and God was very deep. May his family and friends draw comfort from the memories of a life shared with such a wonderful person.
