Mr. Charlie Moore, 81, was born June 20, 1944, in LeCompte, LA, and entered eternal rest on Friday, January 16, 2026, in Pineville, LA.
Charlie was a very talented musician, having started his music career at the early age of sixteen, playing "Swamp Pop" in the local clubs of Lake Charles. His music career spanned sixty years, and he played with some of the finest musicians, including Merle Haggard, Ray Price, Gene Watson, Steve Wariner, Gene King, Avery Belguard, Peggy Forman, and many others. Charlie loved playing steel guitar, but was also skilled on the bass guitar and keyboard.
Charlie also loved racing cars at local tracks such as Forest Hill Speedway and Thunder Valley. It was a family affair when he was racing. Charlie drove 18-wheeler trucks most of his life, and hauled many loads all over the state. He was an owner-operator and had up to ten trucks when I-49 was built around Alexandria. He was a member of Philadelphia Baptist Church in Deville. He was also a member of the W.D. Fisher Masonic Lodge at Deville and Past Master at the Forest Hill Masonic Lodge.
He was preceded in death by one son, Charles Brian Moore; his parents, Edwin and Beulah Moore; two brothers, Danny Moore and Marc Moore; and one sister, Marilyn Clark.
Those left to mourn his loss and cherish his memory include his loving wife of forty-four years, Sue Moore; four daughters, Lisa Johnson (Randall) of Clearview, Florida, Monica Williams (Mark) of Lafayette, Heather O'Bannon (Trent) of Alexandria, and Katie Chatagnier of Pineville; one son, Randall Graham of Angola; one sister, Sharon Wright (Carroll) of Moss Bluff; one brother, Gary Moore (Sheila) of Mabank, Texas; nine grandchildren, Kris Johnson (Amanda), Jonathon Williams, Ryan Williams (Shelby), Cameron Johnson (Samantha), Madi Grace Williams (Cade Denais), Tayler Reeves, Patience Chatagnier (Chris Lengua), Ady Chatagnier and Deuce Chatagnier; and eight great grandchildren.
