Moore held many titles in his life, as he was a hard-working 'Jack-of-all-trades', but his favorite role was being a doting father to his daughter, Chloe. He spent every evening pushing her on the swing and watching her play in the yard. He read bedtime stories at night, and cooked breakfast on Sunday mornings. He valued spending time with family and friends, and enjoyed hunting, fishing, bowling, and playing softball in his free time. He was also a volunteer firefighter and a chaplain for the Harney VFW.
His display of character that he not only demonstrated for his daughter, but for anyone who knew him, was of genuine care and compassion for those around them. He was a man who showed up to help anyone and everyone, and had a natural ability to lighten the mood when things got rough. He positively impacted our community and those around him, and he will be truly missed.
To honor SGT Moore's memory, his family will hold a 'Celebration of Life' at the VFW in Westminster on Sunday, July 21st from 1-5pm.
