Luther Stephen Moore

He served in the military as a Marine during the Vietnam era and returned to Montgomery, Alabama where he met his future wife, Judy, and continued his education. He enjoyed many interests including photography, astronomy, Ham radio, playing piano & guitar and diverse technologies. The emerging technology field soon led to employment in cable television and then as network engineer in the IT field. His job took the family to Peachtree City, Ga., New Orleans, La., Omaha, Ne., and finally to Jacksonville.

The family settled in East Arlington in 1988 and became members of Holy Spirit Catholic Church. Msgr. Heslin led the family & a passionate group of parishioners to build a new church, get involved in pro-life matters & renew their spirituality with a movement called Cursillo. He was a convert to the Catholic faith & had a special place in his heart for the Blessed Mother. It is within this environment Steve was the father figure to two sons, Chris and Brian.

He is predeceased by his father (Columbus), his mother (Estelle), and brother (Bradley). He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Judy, and sons Brian, Chris and daughter-in-law, Amanda, and three grandchildren as well as step-mother, Obera.

The family would like to thank friends & family members who have been compassionate & understanding thru the years of illness and have supported the family with prayers and consolation.
