Moore
2 days a month for 16 years the last 5 as my direct supervisor.   3 deployments, many other annual tours to Texas and Fl.   We had countless private conversations about life and love, military and kids, you never let me live down every time Alabama barely scrapped by Ga in football.   You are a comrade that turned into a friend and became family!  So many stories we’ll all look back on and laugh.  So many unsaid words that will be left till we meet again.  You were a great father and I know you loved those kids more than anything else!  You’ll be missed more than you could’ve ever imagined. I love you brother! Till Valhalla 

I met Chris when he was a young A1C, he was full of motivation and eager to learn. He was already a seasoned Defender, to me. We talked a lot and I learned a lot from him. He was a great guy and dear friend. When I was feeling off he would pull me back in.  "Awe, come on Tiny, it ain't that bad." I can still hear his voice and his laugh. 

Fair Winds and Following Seas brother, until we meet again.

We all loved and enjoyed having Chris as part of the Arch Street family.
We are so saddened by the news of his passing!
We are forever grateful for his service and we will miss seeing his smiling face around property.  
All of us at Arch Street are praying for the family and friends of beloved Chris. 

Chris,
The support and kindness shown to all of your family by the Air Force during this time has been exceptional. They have done so much for us in this time of need. The many calls, hugs, visits, and just taking care of things in your honor has just simply been overwhelming. You would be so proud. 

Chris,  you are an amazing man. The many comments expressed to us by all your friends and people you worked and served with, further confirm that. Years ago, when you told me you were joining the Air Force to serve our country, I told you I wished you would reconsider because I did not think it was a good fit for you. You always had such sweet spirit along with a kind and generous heart. I thought you should choose a career more closely related with helping others. Well, as it turns out Chris, you used that inherent goodness to serve others while also serving our country. You did so many things for so many people with nothing expected in return. You are a true patriot. You loved your country. You loved all people. You loved God, your children, and all of your family. As I reflect back on that conversation, I realize now that you made the right choice and I was wrong. Your family and I are so proud of you and you will always be remembered by me as an American hero. I will miss you so much but I know in my heart that I will see you again. I have no doubt that in Heaven I will find you helping others and looking for ways you can assist me. Roll Tide Chris. Love Dad


When I heard of your passing Chris, I couldn't believe it. It is still unbelievable. I will cherish the times that you and I work together. You were always there to make us smile and laugh, if we were having a bad day. I will miss you Chris. May God continue to bless your family and comfort them through this difficult time. 

Chris and his brother Jeff were good friends with my son Chris Miller during middle school and high school years as they were neighbors of ours.   We had become acquainted with Chris again when he came to Monrovia church with his wife Keri.  He was a great person and friend.

Chris adored his children more than anything.  He was so proud of Cameron and Emmersyn.  They were the light of his life.  Working with Chris was always a guarantee that the job would get done.  He fought hard and long for his country, and always stepped forward to defend the US or a friend. Few people are as dedicated as he was.  We will miss him, and are truly saddened by his untimely loss.  God bless you, Chris, and be at peace in Heaven.   Our prayers go out to his children and family. 

I remember when Chris and his fellow Airmen left for one of their deployments...zero dark thirty taking a bus from Maxwell to Atlanta to overseas.

I remember praying for them as they left, for their families as they were separated, and for their safety until they returned home.  

And I remember the joy, and pride, and relief at their homecoming.

I'll continue to pray for God's peace and comfort for the 908 SF and MSgt Moore's family till, by faith in Jesus Christ, we all meet again in glory at our final homecoming.

I've worked with Chris for a few months at the TSA - Huntsville international Airport. He was so nice, friendly and always joking and smiling. When he was promoted to supervisor, I was assigned to him. He was always there to back me up whenever times became difficult. He said if I ever needed someone to talk to, he'd be there to listen. And he was. He was a great co-worker, supervisor and listener. He will miss him dearly. Rest in Peace Chris. 


Chris

Our hearts broke today 
When we heard you had died.
Rivers flowed with tears today,
Throats aching as we cried.

When our daughter married you
You became our Son.
Did you know we loved you
As if you were our own.

You showed our daughter love,
Kindness and respect.
You chose to serve our country 
With honor you did protect.

We became grandparents,
Our hearts leaped with joy.
God blessed you with children,
A girl and a boy.

Did you know we loved you?
To us you were our son.
Today Our hearts are breaking 
We can’t believe you are gone. 


I was honored to have worked with Chris over this past year. I was aware of his love for his family and dedicated service to our country in the Air Force and now he has the wings only the Lord can provide. We will miss you. We will remember you. And we pray you'll remember us too.  Lord please help heal his family as they struggle to deal with their great loss during this time. God bless you all.

I remember getting to the unit in January 2005 and being introduced to everyone and Moore being the guy telling me about everyone. For the next two years every drill and every AT was a good time because I knew I would be able to hang out with my brother.  You always put others needs above your own and you were always there for anyone who needed a talk. I miss you brother. 

Chris, my man! Well here we sit without you under the same blue sky. I know you’re up there telling stories of deployments and watching us make fools of ourselves. Want you to know I won’t forget you. That 2008 deployment was a tough one for me in many ways and having you there to talk to and cry with kept me going. 

I know this world lost a good one and I sure do wish I could go back a week and find you. Tell my family who’s up there with you to keep watching over us. Hopefully we make you proud, my man. I’ll put on my uniform everyday with you in mind knowing you fought the good fight and now you’re with the Big Man. 

Not a day will go by where you won’t cross my mind. I pray the wind carries your family though this rough time and that the memories we shared remain vivid for my time left on earth. Know your sacrifices are remembered and you name will always be spoken with reverence and honor. 

Till I see you again, bud, enjoy that perfect view from the top. I sure will miss you! 

- Joe 

I can remember when I came to the unit in December of 2007, Chris was one of the first guys to welcome me and then two months later I’m deployed to Iraq with him. Chris looked out after me like I was his little brother. He always there to crack a joke if you needed a good laugh and would do anything for you. Chris I miss you brother and don’t worry about things here, we got it! Rest Easy
