Perry was my best friend for 30 years. He was the most genuine, sweet, kind human being there ever was or ever could be, and these are sentiments his friends all felt during his life as well as now. I miss my friend, and am touched and thrilled to see that my beloved Perry was revered by so many .... He deserved it and now I see how his true personalty showed through even to people who never met him. His personality never changed no matter how successful he became, and he called every few days just to say he loved me no matter how busy he was. That's just how he was. Keep his dream alive, please, all of you. Love, Bretta ( aka Scarlett)

Perry was just beyond cool, I first met him when he worked with Rosie O's show. Years later, I helped promote his groundbreaking book "Hero"; the dustjacket of which, is prominently featured in an exhibit on book designer Chip Kidd. We'll miss you. Best Randal Tolbert

Dear Perry, I was thunderstuck to read of your passing in "The Week"
your book, "Hero" was both brilliant and imaginative. I truly wish I could have read the sequel. Rest in Peace, your friend and fan, Margaret Evans

I was sadden to hear about the passing of Perry. I have many fond memories of our summer camp days at Chanco together. My thoughts and prayers are with Hunter and the Moore Family during your time of sorrow.

Perry Moore's legacy will be summed up by the words 'Open Arms'. No one at Happening in EYC was more welcoming than Perry. A lovable guy with so much to give, I was saddened to find out he passed, yet comforted by the memories he left me with. Rest in Peace my friend

As a 39 year old Narnia-loving, comic book collector, I found myself loving everything Perry created (that I experienced). Just two weeks ago, I told my wife "I wonder when Perry Moore is going to come out with a sequal to 'Hero' or the book is made into a movie." Alas, I sadly now know the answer. Hunter, and Mr. and Mrs. Moore, I never personally knew your partner and son - but during his time on Earth he nonetheless touched me through his talent, and his works will continue to better humanity. The Narnia films go without saying, but my favorite work is "Hero." Why? It's his creation, and no one elses, but also it shows his profound understanding about "identity" and "personal self." Being a teenager is hard. As so many friends have related to me, being gay in an overwhelmingly straight world is hard. Finding out you have superpowers and fearing them would obviously also be hard. He took all of that and blended it into one sympathetic character who rises to the event to do the right and honorable thing - coming into his own and becoming a "Hero" in the process. Perry Moore obviously became a "Hero" to so many of us through his 39 years on Earth. We are all better for it, and we will truly miss this Hero among men. Thank you for sharing him with us during his short stay on Earth.

My time spent with Perry was as EYC Lay Leader and in Happening, Chanco, and board meetings. He was one of those person who could participate in the teen world and the adult world together. His spirit and maturity were so evident. Perry, although I had not seen him in years, my daughter kept me up with his events. I felt close to him over the years. You will be missed but never forgotten. My thoughts are with his family, partner, and all his friends.

When we first met at Chanco I was one of many young campers with a counselor crush. You were always there with a smile and kind words. You were the EYC president at my first Blackstone and you were again there to greet us with a smile. Three years ago you wrote back to me on Facebook and helped me as I struggled with the relationships I lost as a result of coming out. Your kind words and encouragement, just that you took your time to respond to me, meant so much to me. Thank you for taking that time out for me and thank you for writing Hero for all the LGBT young people out there without their own Hero.
Caritas to you Dear Perry!

About a minute after we met at the White House, Perry became one of the closest people to my heart on this planet. We didn't talk often, but we didn't need to. As I was putting together the condolence book for his service (I hope it makes it there in time), I read with joy, but not surprise, that pretty much everyone felt the same about Perry. He was a bright and shining soul, and we are all the better for having known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Hunter always. Much, much love.

My condolences to the entire family. I feel very blessed to have known Perry. He had a way of making everyone smile and feel special. His quick wit and grin could always make me smile. I used him as an example in my classroom today, "always chase your dreams and you can change the world!!"
May God bless you!!

You've touched so many lives in so many amazing ways. From your love of Chanco, Happening, EYC, to your story telling and movie production. I've never forgotten the words you spoke at my Happening when you were my Small Group Leader and introduced me back into the world. I've never forgotten the words on the yellow legal paper signed WPM IV in my Caritas bag when you were trying to be stealth. I've never forgotten our talks at EYC Board meetings late into the night, or prom night, or the summer of mud, or Blackstone rounds. The list can go on. You were, perhaps, the most welcoming person I ever met; approachable and open-hearted. You changed lives when you didn't even know it. Love to you my friend. Love and peace to the extended Moore family.

Liz, I am sorry. My prayers go out to you and your family. You are all so gentle and kind and I am so very sad for your loss. Perry gave my daughter Lucy a copy of "The Quest for Aslan" with a special note about how she shared the name of his favorite character in the book. So very thoughtful of him. We will cherish it.

My prayers are with you. I had written this poem for my elderly lady friend when she past away in July 2004. I hope it will bring you some comfort.
Newest Angel in Heaven
People come and people go
It happens every day
Though good-bye is a simple word
It’s very hard to say
This special poem is just for you
A poem of love and of thanks
For you have touched us all in many different ways
For you have the love of us all, flying with you today
You have manifested the love of God
And gave throughout your life
Throughout your life you had shined bright
Brighter than you will ever know
You are truly an angel
This special poem is just for you
A poem of love and of thanks
For this is not good-bye
You will always be with us in our hearts and our prayers
So goodnight our newest angel in heaven

Dear Perry,
I wish I could have seen you and Hunter to tell you how extraordinary your work was; how many times I reached out to call but was too shy to phone. Hunter, my heart is with you every second of every day. There are no words that can temper the sadness and grief I know you are feeling. All my love, Lizzie

I did not know Perry personally but I knew of him. He was a close friend to several of my family members and acquaintances. Although I've never met him, I will never forget him. My thoughts are with Perry's partner, family, and friends during this difficult time.

Although I have never met you, I can see that you had a gift. I also graduated in 1990, but from Norfolk Collegiate.. not Norfolk Academy. The Bulldog has a heavy heart and has lost a great talent that was taken too soon. May God help the Moore family, friends, and fans cope with this terrible tragedy and remember him for his gift and talent.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

May the peace of God be with you at this time of sorrow. Know that The Chronicles of Narnia will reach out to a hurting world, and share the love of God with many. Perry was a blessing to the world with his writings. He is at peace now with the Lord God, The Almighty ONe, and His Son Jesus.
