James Hewlett Moore

James Hewlett Moore, 93, was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and died on September 19, 2026. A longtime resident of Collierville, Tennessee, James will be remembered with deep respect and affection for the steady kindness and consideration he showed to others throughout his life.

Born in Memphis, Tennessee on August 20, 1933, James graduated from Messick High School. From his earliest years, he carried himself with a quiet thoughtfulness that remained a hallmark of his life.

James served in the United States Navy and dedicated 45 years of work to Bell South Telephone. His life reflected constancy and care—values evident in both his service to his country and his enduring commitment to his work.

James was a devoted husband to Christine Moore for 61 years, until her passing in 2015. He is survived by two sons, Mark H. Moore (Patricia) and Keith A. Moore; and two grandsons, Eric Moore and Brian Moore. His family was the center of his life, and his love for them was expressed in countless, steady ways—through presence, patience, and a generous heart.

A communicant of First Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Olive Branch, Mississippi, James found strength and meaning in faith and community, living with a gentle spirit that touched those around him.
