Buddy Fred Moore

Papaw, 72, who is now walking in heaven with his Lord Jesus Christ. He

was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather.

Buddy was born on August 19, 1947 in Louisville, Kentucky. He was an

outstanding basketball, football and track star at Georgetown, Kentucky High

School. He was the president of Boys State in Kentucky in high school and

played football at Baylor before suffering a knee injury against Kansas State.

In December of 1969 he married his Baylor sweetheart, Lynne, and then in

1970 he received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education.

Buddy was smart, loyal, and generous. He was severely injured 34 years ago

from an assault that occurred while he was delivering gasoline to a service

station. He sustained a life altering brain injury and numerous physical

injuries that led to challenging relational, mental, emotional, and physical

issues the rest of his life.

However, what made more of a difference in Buddy’s life than his injury, was

his relationship with Jesus. He wanted others to know what a difference Jesus

had made in his life through all of the trials he faced. Though his health

deteriorated, he became a more loving, peaceful, and courageous man which

is something only the love and power of God can do in one’s life.

Buddy is survived by his beloved wife of 49 years, Lynne, his son Andrew

and daughter Mary Grace who is married to Luke Kunefke; grandchildren

Gracelynne, Letty, Kohen, and Emmry; siblings Dan, Ann Sanderson,

Benjamin (Sharon), Joe (Betty), and Nancy Fuller (David). Plus many

wonderful nieces and nephews.

Buddy is preceded in death by his parents, the Rev. Dr. Dan C. Moore and Lena Moore.

Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live…”” - John11:25
