Alan Moore Obituary

Alan Ryan Moore
The Lord took Alan Ryan Moore of Charlotte to be with Him on Saturday, October 30, 2010. Alan was born Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 1974 in Reidsville, NC, the son of Terry L Moore and Ellen A Moore. Growing up, he attended Tabernacle Christian School graduating in 1993, and was a 1997 graduate of UNC/Chapel Hill with a degree in Applied Sciences. He was employed by Wachovia/Wells Fargo as an IT Specialist. He loved his work and always spoke highly of his supervisor and co-workers.
In addition to his parents, Alan is survived by his brother, Charles R. Moore, and wife Jenny and daughter Scarlett of Charlotte, and his sister, Jacquelyn T. Moore and her daughter Layla and son Blake of Monroe. He is also survived by his maternal grandparents Dr. Jack Austin and wife Vera Austin of Griffin, GA.
Alan accepted Jesus as his savior at the age of eight and displayed Christian character throughout his life. He was a member of Bible Baptist Tabernacle in Monroe. Alan's favorite outdoor activities were hiking, biking, kayaking, boating, and offshore fishing. He kept himself physically fit, working out in the gym at least three times a week. He loved to play the piano and enjoyed gospel and classical music.
From the tender age of two, Alan had an inquisitive mind and always took things apart and put them back together just to find out how they worked. After two months into kindergarten, he was bumped up to first grade where he won an award for Best All Around in Every Subject. In the fourth grade, he scored college level in three subjects. In the 7th grade, he qualified as a TIP student sponsored by Duke University and won a summer semester in Math & Science at NC State University. He was Salutatorian of his high school class, and made the Dean's List every semester at UNC Chapel Hill. He always gave his best and was an over achiever in everything he did. He was the fix-it-man around the house because he could take it apart, figure it out, and put it back together better than before. Alan was a kind, loving, and patient man who was always willing to help others and will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew him.
The family will receive family and friends Tuesday, November 2, 2010, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Bible Baptist Tabernacle, 2900 Walkup Avenue, Monroe, NC. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, November 3rd at 1:00 p.m. at Bible Baptist Tabernacle. Alan will be buried in the church cemetery after the service.
Online condolences may be made at www.gordonfuneralservice.com Memorials may be made to Tabernacle Christian School, 2900 Walkup Ave., Monroe NC 28110. Gordon Funeral Service & Crematory is caring for the Moore family.

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since the last time we spoke. I can vividly remember seeing you working in your cube at the bank - stopping by to see if we would be heading to 5 Guys for lunch. We had some great conversations there contemplating life and hearing you make plans with your Mom to go hiking that weekend. Oh how you loved fall weather - and spending time outdoors with your Mom. It was so easy being your friend - I’ll never forget you Alan. Sending much love to his family...

Seven years! I still miss working with him. I still use the knowledge he shared with me. He was such a pleasure to know.
See you someday in heaven my friend.

It's 4:24 a.m. and I've been up for the past two hours...can't seem to get you off my mind. Every year, this time almost becomes a countdown to that fateful day. It's hard to believe that it's been 5 years already. Sometimes it feels like a nightmare that we're gonna wake up from; or like you're just on a long vacation and should be coming home any day now. I remember that Saturday morning when mama and daddy came to get me from work like it was yesterday. I remember stopping to pick Charles up from work. I remember being on the phone with the EMS worker and him telling me that Alan was being airlifted to the hospital. I remember the sense of urgency to reach you and I remember the phone call that let us know it wasn't you in that helicopter. And I remember the very second that our lives changed forever when daddy turned to us and said that you were gone. Time stood still that day. I don't think I actually believed what had happened until I saw you for myself. These last three months of the year, I think, are the hardest. With the anniversary of your passing, mama and daddy's wedding anniversary, all three of our birthdays, and Scarlett's birthday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, there are so many times we would be together as a family, and you were always there. I often think about what a wonderful Uncle you were and all that my children are missing with you not being here. At the same time that I feel all of this sadness...deep inside my heart, I feel a certain peace that I know comes from God up above. I am beyond grateful for the many good memories that we have to hold on to, for pictures that are priceless, for allowing me to see you just a few days before your accident and getting to hug and kiss you, for allowing mama to have that last conversation with you, for not making you suffer, for allowing us to be together as a family when we found out that you were gone, for knowing that with God's promise of eternal life, you will live forever and we will be together with you and all of our loved ones again one day. Thank you for loving me and for being the person who you were. I love you.

The world around us keeps going
And yet time stands still
Three years have passed by
And yet it's hard to accept God's will
Words cannot express
The pain we feel inside
The hole that's in our hearts
The sorrow we try to hide
You were like the staple
That held us all together
So strong and yet so gentle
The calm in stormy weather
Oh what we would give
To hug your neck once more
To hear you say "Olive you "
To see you walk through the door
Your love and kindred spirit
Still linger in the air
You always took the time
To stop and show you care
The wonderful person that you were
Left its mark upon this world
You touched so many lives
You were a priceless pearl

Two years ago today
God chose to take you Home
And when we close our eyes, we picture
The streets of gold you roam
We know you are looking down on us
From the Heavens up above
We know God's grace is sufficient
Because we feel His tender love
Although we miss you dearly
Through all the pain and tears we fight
Because we know the time will come
When we will reunite
So until that sweet day
When we see your face again
We will hold on to our love
For you that never ends

It's already been a year
But it seems like only yesterday
When we got the news
Of what happened that October day
God called for you to come Home
As He carried out His plan
The angels came down from Heaven
And took you by the hand
We Know you are rejoicing
With God's angel's all around
Your heart feels no sorrow
No pain can be found
Neither Heaven nor Earth
Will ever be the same
And there isn't a day that passes
That we don't speak your name
We cherish our memories
We wish we never had to part
And you will always be
Forever in our hearts

I close my eyes and I picture
You reaching those pearly gates
And standing along side Jesus
The rest of your family awaits
I can see them running to you
With a smile upon their face
As everyone comes around you
And grabs you in warm embrace
It's hard to know you're gone
But comforting to know you're there
Walking the streets of gold
Happy without a care
We will always love you
And your memory will live on
And I know that I will see you again
When I finally make it home

I was in total shock to realize that it had been four years ago that I received the phone call to "Pray for Alan Moore." Before long, the sobering announcement of his passing sobered our hearts. Alan was such a gentle man, a delightful joy, and there to help when you needed him. Often he would approach me and say, "Is there anything you need me to do?" To see him enter the doors of the church with his smile of confidence and erect stature was a joy to all our hearts. I was touched at his funeral to find out the closeness he shared with his mother. I know his passing left an immense hole in the Moore family that will never be filled this side of heaven. It was a resounding reminder to me that we must not boast ourselves of tomorrow. We must care for our souls today for tomorrow may be too late, give "flowers" while you and your loved ones are still here. I am glad I was able to come into contact with Alan.

Although I didn't know Alan well, and was several years younger than him, one thing I will never forget is his kindness to me. My uncle was a good friend of his, so I knew Alan through him; yet he would tell me hello or wave. Anytime he saw me, he never failed to share a smile, or kind word with me. Even after I went away to college, one time I remember seeing him while home for a visit, and he asked me how college was going. I even remember one conversation we had about playing the piano. Random, but it's a memory. He had a way of putting me at ease. He never seemed to be in a hurry and would talk for as long as I desired (which could be a while since I'm a woman) and he never seemed in a hurry. That quality reminds me of Jesus, for our Lord was never in a hurry, and he took time out for those whom others easily overlooked, that was Alan; for I never remember his attention being drawn away from our conversation, which always had a way of making me feel special. Though he is no longer present with us in body, the kindness he displayed still lives on in my mind today. Can't wait to see him again one day in the streets on Heaven.

I sit here, tears streaming down my face...4 years ago today was the last day that I would ever see my brother alive. Monday, October 25, 2010...Alan, mom, and dad got back from Georgia about 9:30 p.m. They had gone down to celebrate my Pop's 95th birthday. He gave me a hug goodbye and told me he loved me. Little did I know that 5 days later God had planned to open up the gates of Heaven for Alan to enter. There isn't a day that goes by that he isn't thought of, loved, and missed more than words can express. It was so amazing to see the amount of people whose lives he touched and hear stories about the impact he made. You definitely left your imprint on this earth and to this day are influencing people's lives. I often picture you rejoicing with the angels, walking the streets of gold, and imagine what it will be like to be reunited with you and all our loved ones gone before us when it is my time to join you in Heaven. No more tears...no more pain. What a sweet day that will be! I thank God for the time He allowed you here... For the memories and for the love you had for your family...For the Christian man you were and the example you set. He broke the mold when He made you! I love you, Alan!! To Heaven and back.?

October 24, 2014

My dear, sweet Alan. It has now been 4 years. I find that difficult to believe. I miss you so much. I know I've said it before, but you are with me every minute of every day. Where I go, you go...that's because you are so strongly in my heart. I hear the comments you would have made, the laughs you would have laughed; I see the look on your face when you're thinking but not saying; I see you coming inside to get something to eat or drink (every two hours). I see your car turning into our driveway, and hear your car engine roaring up the driveway, and I still say out loud, "Alan's here!" I still talk to your life-sized picture on the wall that Jacquelyn gave us our first Christmas without you. I see pictures of you every time I go to Jacquelyn's house or Charles' house. Charles has started saying little things that you would have said about a situation. Jacquelyn still tears up easily when she allows the memories to flow. Your Dad will be working outside or on the boat and say, "this would have been a lot easier if Alan were here". Every silver Mustang like yours, is you, and I try to stay near it as long as I can. Whenever I hear that song on the radio, which is almost always when I'm coming home from Charles' house, (My Heart Will Go On), I usually find a spot to pull over, listen to every word, and usually shed a few tears. Can't help it. I feel like that was a message to me, you wanted me to go on, and not give up. One day, I hope to hear that lady sing it, as you did the night before. You couldn't get over how beautiful her voice was; indescribable, you said. Whenever I am stumped on the computer, I can hear you directing me through to the solution, so that I can understand it and do it myself the next time. Thank you for taking the time to 'explain and show me' how to do things, like using 85 remotes to accomplish one task on the tv! Yikes, that always frustrated me. But NOW, I've got it! You'd be happy with me. You taught us ALL so many things, you really did. You helped so many people. You had so much patience...with everybody. You were ahead of your game having accomplished many things in life by age 35, that others never accomplish in a lifetime. You were wise, strong, smart, and persistent in doing the right things. God bless you, for all that you were and for all that you continue to be, for all of those who love you and rely on the sweet memories you gave us. Next week, on the 30th, we will be taking the day to remember you specifically by going to either Five Guys or Longhorn, taking a hike path that we took, drinking tea or water while we laugh at a comment made and holding it in, looking up with our eyes, bright with fun. Oh, how I miss you, so so much. You were just plain, a lot of fun to be around. You gave me strength and happiness. I love you from the bottom of my heart, and with every inch of my heart. One day, I will see you again. What a nice thought. I love you, my sweet Alan, Mama

I still can't believe its been almost 4 years since we lost you. I think about you often wondering if you would still be at the bank or moved on to other adventures. I know you loved this time of year....especially going hiking with your sweet Mom! I can still remember our numerous lunch outings to 5 Guys and sitting outside talking about life. I miss you Alan....

May 21, 2014

I sure do miss you, Alan. I kiss your picture every morning and every night. I can't believe it's been 3 1/2 years. You were such a blessing...and continue to be a blessing every day. Every now and then, Layla, Blake, and Scarlett come out with, "I miss Uncle Alan". Even though I know they do, sometimes I like to believe that you are saying that you miss us too. Your Dad, Charles, Jacquelyn, and I have gotten to where we can say things you used to say, and then we smile or chuckle,... like, "let's don't and say we did",...or "hellooooow", or "goood-ni-ight, did you SEE that?" Then I hear a song, or see something that reminds me of a moment in time. I smile, I cry, I talk out loud to you, sometimes I yell. Every now and then, I go by Five Guys and get a hamburger with nothing but extra mustard, or I go by Longhorn and put your picture on the table while I have lunch. I talk to you all the time. You're with me wherever I go. Some people would say it's crazy and some would say it's ok to do what you have to do. Some days I'm in Rejoicing-mode. I look at the light blue sky with scattered white clouds, and I picture you in Heaven and try to imagine what you're doing at that moment. We make no appointments for October 30th and we do something in memory of you. And we go to Longhorn on your birthday and we all order a Flo's Fillet. Sound familiar? I am thankful that God gave me you for 35 years. In retrospect, you taught us all a lot. We all do some things your way. We all miss you and the many ways you helped each of us. Your Dad says many times that you were the glue that held us together. I'm not bitter, or mad,...I just miss you. I know that God is in control and that His ways are not our ways. I don't understand it. I just know I love you and I miss you....with all my ever-loving heart. See you one day, Babe. Mama

June 9, 2013

Alan, I miss you so much. You are in my heart and on my mind every minute of every day. I heard that song from Titanic the over day, (My Heart Will Go On), which is one thing you were telling me about on the phone on that fateful day. I cherish all the sweet memories you left with us. I wish I could talk to you, hear your voice, hear your laugh, see your smile. One day, I will see you in Heaven. You learned so much for your 35 years, and you always helped others and taught others how to do things a better way. God bless my sweet son. I love you so much, Mama

March 7, 2013

I remembered your laugh, today, and it made me smile. I love you, son. I love you so much. Mama

It's so hard to believe that it's been 2 years since we lost Alan. I will never forget spending lunch today at 5 Guys restaurant with Terry, Ellen & Jacqueline, along with many of Alan's co-workers from Wells Fargo. What a great time reminiscing about Alan, telling funny stories and laughing among friends! I have so many fond memories of going to 5 Guys with Alan during our lunch hour talking about life! Although we miss him terribly, we are so happy knowing he is with our Lord & Savior!

What a beautiful poem written in memory of Alan as he was one of a kind with a truly loving and kind heart. It's so hard to believe that it has been one year ago today.....may he rest in peace knowing that he is truly missed. I have felt very blessed to have known him and to have called him friend.

As the one year anniversary of Alan's passing draws closer, it's hard to believe he is gone as it still weighs heavy on my heart. I can vividly remember eating lunch with him numerous times at 5 Guys talking about life. I miss you Alan and think of you often.

To the Moore family: I worked with Alan for several years before I moved to a different dept in the bank. I would have occasion to ask him for help with various tasks I was handling and he would always amaze me at how quickly he jumped to assist. I got to know Alan more as a friend when we participated in the Wachovia tennis leage together. He was so enthustastic to learn and improve his game and was such an integral part of the steering committee. But my fondest memory of Alan is having him tell me stories about taking care of his Dad's snakes when he was pressed into service. I never grew tired of hearing him tell me those stories. I think of Alan every day and am still not able to fully believe that I will never see him again. At least on this earth. He earned his wings and though I imagine he was sad to go, he is watching over his family and I hope happy to see the outpouring of love we are sharing in his memory.

Alan came to me for piano lessons sometime late 2008-2009. I taught piano at home and my first impression of Alan was how passionate he was about piano msuic. Reading his obituary explained a lot how he liked to take things apart and figure them out. That is exactly how he was with playing music. He carefully separated lines and phrases, notes to notes, to learn how to play piano music. We opened our music school later September 2009, when he kindly took another teacher at the school so I could run the school instead. When my front desk staff received the call from his father letting us know about his accident, we were all in shock. My husband and I saw him many times at Five Guys during lunch time (it was close to the music school and his job at Wachovia). So we know he liked the hamburgers there! Everyone at the music school cried knowing of his accident. He attended his piano lessons every week on Thursdays at 7:30pm diligently for over a year. He would never miss unless he would visit his family members. We feel like we know him because he would always take the time to speak to everyone at the music school and take the time to make them feel good. He was such a nice guy that everyone knew. We will miss him! We will miss seing him dedicated to his piano with love. He was eager to learn how to play many songs, but in particular I remember working with him every week were the songs from his church. He brough in a book with all the Hymns of his church and we started working on it. He loved the chords in the book and he wanted to play all of it, each song. Aside from his church music, his favorite of all times was Moonlight Sonata from Beethoven. I still remember him saying to me: "Ok, I learned the esier version, give me the original now (6-9 pages long)". My husband and I are about the same age as Alan was. So it hit us when he passed. We will remember him always with the music in our hearts and we know that he will be playing the piano in heaven! I never met his family but because of him, I feel like we have been friends forever. Alan, take care and keep playing that piano. Beethoven will be proud. To his family, we are sorry for your loss and we wished we could have been part of his funeral. We feel lucky that Alan was part of our lives and he touched so many people in our music school!

I became friends with Alan this summer and, though I did not know him long, I felt a deep connection with him. He was a good, kind, generous person. He always treated me with the utmost respect, and we had many fun times together. I miss him a great deal and find comfort in believing that he has reserved a place in heaven through the honorable life that he has lived. I am grateful to call him my friend. May God be with you and comfort you.

It is with terrible shock and tremendous sadness that I recently learned of Alan's passing. I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to his family. Alan and I became great friends as freshmen at Carolina and shared countless good times during our years there. He was thoughtful and lighthearted with a gentle spirit and quiet strength. Everyone appreciated his kind demeanor, generosity, and understated humor. Alan's authentic Christian example also had a significant impact in my life, facilitating my own discovery of Christ.
May we take comfort in the certain knowledge that for the believer, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this most difficult time.

I worked with Alan at Wachovia. He was kind, patient and very smart. He was always willing to help out a teammate. He will be missed by both his family and his 'work' family but he is now in heaven and we should rejoice in knowing where he is and that we will see him again some day.

I worked on the same floor with Alan for many years but only in the last 3 or so did I really get to know him. We would talk about everything including motorcycles, cars, guns, fishing and politics. He asked me several times to go fishing with him, but something always came up. It pains me greatly that we will never get to go. I know that God took him home because he had an important job in heaven that needed a great warrior to do it. Alan always use to ask me how he could make his mustang faster, but always decided he should be smart and save his money. Maybe one day his family and friends can build a tribute car to him.

My heart felt condolences to you! - Moore Family I've known Alan since he came out of school and we worked together at Bank of America in 1998 AND Wachovia Wells in 2007 - 2009. He was always like a son to me; so kind, so polite. I knew he was a Christian young man!! We'd discuss his cars - the Vet, and how much he loved nice cars. He'd always share with me when he'd met a nice girl. I just received this news a few moments ago and I'm terribly hurt over this. It gives great consolation to know that he's with the Lord. Farewell, My Friend - I'll certainly miss you!!

To Alan's family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I had the privilege of working with Alan the past couple of months; he was building a data base for our group. Although this was a short time it was easy to see his kind gentle heart. It was amazing to me how he took the little information we provided and turned it into the perfect vision of what we wanted. He will definitely be missed. May you all be comforted during this very difficult time.

To Alan's Family: Alan was an amazing and fun person we could all count on. He will be dearly missed by his Wachovia family. I feel privileged to have known and worked with him.

My sincer condolences to Alan's family. I've had the pleasure of working with Alan on and off for the last 8 years. He was always fun to be around. I echo the comments of other coworkers when I say that he always went above and beyond without thinking about it. And that among other things made him a pleasure to work with. May God help you through these trying times.

To Alan's family: I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn this morning of the passing of Alan. Alan and I were suite-mates at UNC-Chapel Hill and he was one of my best friends. In addition to being very bright and funny, Alan was always kind, gentle, and most generous to everyone he encountered. He will be dearly missed by all of us who had the privilege of knowing him. My thoughts and prayers are with Alan and with you. May he rest in peace and come to enjoy the fullness of eternal life.

I went to FHHS with Alan. Although we lost touch with each other I remember him being a very smart and kind person. He was a great friend. I can not imagine the loss your family feels at this time. Only God can give you the comfort and strength you need during this time.

Alan was dear friend of mine for years. I hired him at Wachovia and loved working with him over the years. We became close friends and he always spoke of his family, the joy of becoming an uncle, his love of Jesus and his church and was just a joy to be around. He came to my homecoming when I returned from Afghanistan and was always there for me in everyway. I will miss Alan terribly, but know that he is home with his savior.

To Alan's family and friends - - I had the pleasure and honor of working with Alan over the years here at Wachovia. He was always wonderfully flexible and supportive any time I needed his skills. He was always willing to do whatever we needed no matter what else he was working on at that time. He was a great teammate. While we will miss him dearly, our deepest sympathies go out to those of you who were so much closer to him. I have moved several hours out of the Charlotte area and so will be unable to attend the service, but know that I will be thinking of Alan and all of you during this painful time. Take care,

I am so very sad to hear about Alan. I worked with him at Bank of America when he got his first job there out of college. I believe he had gotten a Camaro then that he was so proud of. He said his dad really enjoyed it too. We both have been working at Wachovia now for years and he was working right above me. We would run into each other every now and then, and he was always so easy to talk to and so pleasant. He always spoke so highly of his family...the kind of family everyone would want. We could have conversations about anything from work to relationships. He will be very much missed.

Words can't express the grief I feel over the loss of Alan. He was the smartest, kindest man I have met. We worked together the past 3 years and was amazed constantly by his wisdom and willingness to do whatever was needed to help the customer or his teammates. I will miss him so much. To his parents, you can be so proud of the man you raised him to be. It was an honor to call him friend.
