William G. Moore Jr.

William "Noonie" Moore, age 60, passed away on April 11, 2025, in Phoenix, Oregon. Born on May 15, 1964, in Stockton, California, William lived a life marked by resilience, dedication, and a deep love for those around him.

In his early years, William worked on dairies and at the Hershey factory in Oakdale, California. Always seeking new experiences and challenges, he ventured to Alaska to try his hand at crabbing and briefly served in the military before a knee injury during boot camp cut that path short. Ultimately, he found his calling behind the wheel and built a proud 31-year career as a CDL truck driver. He took great pride in his work and affectionately named his last truck "The Iron Pimp," a testament to both his humor and passion for the open road. William also took time in his career to open a soul food bbq restaurant (Roscoe's BBQ Food for the Soul) with his wife. During 2013, Will battle Steven-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and his wife had to close the restaurant to care for him. Once his health improved he went back to driving truck.

William was known for more than just his strong work ethic-he was fun-loving and full of life. He cherished time spent barbecuing for friends and family and enjoyed going for rides with his wife whenever he could. His presence brought warmth and laughter to every gathering.

For 25 years, William shared an unwavering bond of unconditional love with his wife, Nikola Moore. Their partnership was one of strength and devotion. He is also remembered with love by his father William Moore Sr., sister Yolonda Lankford, son William Alexander Wallace Moore, Aleesha "Shug," and brother Danny Luttrell. Mother and father in law, Vivian Richardson and Phil Hendrix; sister in law Catina Stavroulakis and brother in law George Stavroulakis.

He now joins in rest his beloved mother Dorothy Moore; brothers Antwan Dallas Dupree Moore and Derrick Luttrell; along with many cherished cousins, grandparents, aunts, and uncles who preceded him in death.

William's legacy lives on through the memories held by those who knew him best-his family, friends, fellow drivers on the road, and all who were lucky enough to share in his journey.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
