Ocean Springs, Mississippi - "Smokin" Joe Moore, 65, of Ocean Springs, passed away on Friday, October 21, 2022. Joe was a longtime resident of the MS Gulf Coast.

He was an active member of the Alcoholic Anonymous, specifically the Little Yellow House and 321 Clubhouse. Joe was a staple of the community and regularly chaired meetings.

He won the "National Sales Award" for Allen Toyota where he sold more cars than anyone in the nation that year. Joe was an avid football fan and was elated when his Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl. Joe was an exercise nut and an excellent golfer with a deep love for the sport.

Joe was my friend and sold me one of the best cars I have ever owned. He made sure we had excellent service and support from the dealership throughout the term of our deal with the car.
I loved him like a brother and always will.
That goes for you as well, Bobby, so remember me when you need anything. I love you.
Joe inspired me to maintain my sobriety over my 17 plus years so far so I owe him - as much as anyone - (giving God the glory of course) and knowing the program is all of us working and learning together.
Joe was special. He worked so hard. To help others. Endlessly.
Hw inspired.
And loved. Deeply. With his all.
