My heart is with each of you. I first met "MOE" while I worked at 7-11, Hydralic rd.I can't imagine this town & North Carolina without him. One thing I do know is God took him home to help him in his Kingdom. I have never met a more perfect gentleman, Christain,Love for his Mother,well dressed,pride in his Family(especially his Grand-children).He came in the morning for a donut & coffee & then stopped by after school to chat with us. He was a man that everyone loved and will be deeply missed by all lives that he touched.You will always be in my thoughts & prayers. Love to each of you, Sue & Dave Stringfield

May God comfort the family of Preston Moore. He may be gone from this earth but he will not be forgotten. He was a poet and he knew it. He knew his music and all that goes with it.

I regretfully submit my condolences. Mr.Moore will be missed greatly. However, it does rest my spirit to know and believe that this man of God is now resting in our Savior's arms. He touched so many lives and is certainly watching the ones he loves from on high now. May God continue to comfort you in your time of bereavement as well as my own. Blessings and love.

My heart is with you. he will be missed so much. Sunday Breakfast at the Church and the smile and talks, and laughs. asking for his Grits and eggs, I will miss that.
I am asking God to touch your hearts and hold you tight.. To have someone like Mr. Moore to come into our life and minister to any one that need to talk he would listen to you. He is a wonder Man and will be miss. Thanks for sharing your Husband, Father, Son, Grandfather with us.
