William Moore Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Burroughs Funeral Home & Cremation Services on Feb. 4, 2026.
We celebrate the life of William "James" Moore, age 68, of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, who passed peacefully at home surrounded by family and loved ones.

Born July 19, 1957, in Greenville, South Carolina, to Bill and Mary Moore, James lived life with passion, heart, and a need for speed. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, he was known for his love of racing, his generous spirit, and his talent for telling a story that somehow got better every time it was told. James had a way of making people feel instantly at home-and if you stayed long enough, you probably left laughing.

James is survived by his loving wife, Susan Diane Moore; his daughter, Vickie Magnuson; his grandchildren, Holly Montgomery (James Cramer), Joshua Moore, and Jacob Moore; and his great-grandchildren, Leila Montgomery, Talin Cramer, and Ariella Moore. He was also a cherished brother and a beloved uncle to many nieces and nephews, each of whom held a special place in his heart. He was preceded in death by his son, Joshua S. Moore.

A celebration of life will be held in the spring. James lived life in the fast lane, loved deeply, and leaves behind a legacy that will never slow down.
