Stan Moore

Stanley (Stan) Norman Moore, 91, of Montgomery, Texas, passed away peacefully at home November 7, 2025. He was born on July 29, 1934, near Oberlin, Kansas to the late Dem and Norma Moore. He was the fifth child of seven and the fourth boy of five.
Stan was raised with his siblings on a farm and grew up knowing what hard work was. He was a star athlete in High School and held the shotput record for many years. In college he played football and participated in track and field, becoming an All-Conference Champion in Discuss. He graduated from Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas with a degree in Drafting and Industrial Arts Education. Upon graduation in 1957, he married Deanie and helped her dad farm until he went into the Army National Guard a few months later. He returned to Oberlin after basic training and started teaching and coaching in his hometown. Stan and Deanie moved to Colorado in 1961 when he accepted a teaching job in Denver. The next year they moved to Westminster, Colorado, where he taught Industrial Arts/Drafting and coached for the same school district for the next 24 years. Stan worked on his master's degree for several years after taking the Westminster job, taking classes at night and in the summers. He graduated with his Master's Degree in Industrial Arts from Colorado State University in 1966. Throughout the years Stan would take part-time jobs to help support his family. Some of those jobs included shingling, framing, hanging doors, and building cabinets. A less demanding job with benefits was supervising a community recreation program on weekends which took younger students on field trips. Stan's own children could tag along enjoying the time together doing fun things like roller skating. In 1972 Stan, Deanie and the kids moved to Louisville, Colorado where they had enough space to raise sheep. It was an enterprise for the whole family.
Stan was an artisan in woodworking. He handcrafted many pieces of furniture for family and friends throughout his lifetime. Stan helped with some of the construction of four of the homes he and Deanie lived in. In later years he started crafting and selling smaller wood projects like pens, vases, bowls and urns. He continued working on his wood lathe until he was no longer able to. Stan was an avid sports fan, having several favorite teams he would religiously follow. In his younger years he loved fishing and would take the whole family on weekend fishing trips in the summers and longer trips to places like Canada. In his later years he spent many hours grooming his yard and garden making it beautiful. He enjoyed going to breakfast with his friends from church and his "Old Man Breakfasts" with another group of friends. But his favorite pastime was visiting his grandchildren and great grandchildren, attending all the various activities they were involved in. Stan and Deanie were members of the local Lutheran Church wherever they lived and currently are members of Grace Lutheran Church of Conroe.
Stan leaves behind his wife, Deanie, whom he was married to for 68 years. They have three children, ten grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Their daughter Teri Alfred (Jesse), Hannah and Zachary. Son Greg Moore (Renee'), Travis (Heidi), Tyler, and Jacob (Alaina). Son Kirk Moore (Christine), Brady, Madeline, Isabella Brumbaugh (Zach), Angelina, and Nicholas. Great grandchildren, Lucy, Harrison and Dean Moore, Lila, Asher and Leo Brumbaugh. Stan is preceded in death by his parents Dem and Norma Moore and brothers Francis and Melvin Moore. He is survived by his sisters Lois Leibrandt and Karen Ely, and brothers Lloyd and Rex Moore, numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
A memorial service will be held at Grace Lutheran Church on Tuesday, November 25th, at 11:00am. A luncheon will follow the service where everyone is invited to attend.
In lieu of flowers, a donation can be given to The Schriner's Hospital in Stan's name. He was very supportive of their organization.
