Joe Wayne Moore

Mr. Joe Wayne Moore, age 77 of Rockwell, peacefully passed away on Thursday, December 12, 2019 at VA Medical Center – Hospice House in Salisbury after a period of declining health surrounded by his loving family. Joe was born August 22, 1942 in Cabarrus County to the late Freddie Everett Moore and Ethel Walters Moore. His son, Billy Moore also preceded him in death.

After high school, Joe proudly served his country in the US Army. After his service, he spent his career running and managing his own business, Joe Moore’s Tree and Yardwork. He had a great love for the outdoors, was always “tinkering” in his shop and could fix anything. His favorite pastimes were fishing and camping, but he loved fishing the most. Joe never met a stranger, could strike up a conversation with anyone and loved telling people what to do. He and his precious wife, Virgie enjoyed many meals at his favorite places in China Grove and could be found at the former Red Barn or China Grove Family House. He could be found riding around in his golf cart with his dog, Spot by his side. However, his most loved treasure was his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He truly loved his family and loved spending his time with them.

Those left to cherish his memory are his precious wife of 59 ½ years, Virgie, his sons, Carl Moore (Debora McCormack), Fred Moore and Eric Moore (Marti) all of Rockwell. He also leaves behind his grandchildren, Rodney Moore (Tonya), Kayla James (Aaron), Derrick Moore, Sabrina Lowder (Devin), Olivia Kluttz (Wayne), and Hope Moore.
