Thomas Moore

Thomas N. Moore, 70, of Metter, passed away on June 12, 2020 at Emory Healthcare in Atlanta.

Born in Savannah, he was the son of Harold and Evelyn Simmons Moore. He lived in Metter and was a member of New Life Baptist Church. Tommy was a proud veteran of the United States Army, having served in the Vietnam War. He never missed a veterans memorial event.  He retired from Norfolk Southern Railroad after thirty years.  He enjoyed hunting and fishing and was gifted at leathercraft and woodworking.  He could build anything, including guns and beautiful knives.  His passions were guns and fast cars.  He and Tim loved to watch car shows.  Tommy started each day with breakfast at JoMax, M Market (formerly Clydes), or Parker’s in Metter.  In addition to his parents, Tommy was preceded in death by his sister Theresa Hughes.  He has joyfully joined them in heaven.

Left to cherish the memory of his sweet smile are his wife of 39 years, Esther Moore of Metter; a son and daughter-in-law,  Timothy  and Michelle Moore of Bloomingdale, GA; two daughters and sons-in-laws,  Debra Rae and Gene Hawkins of Grand Bay, AL, and Shea and Chris Phillips of St. Simons Island; a sister and brother-in-law, Pam and Lamar Holloway, a brother-in-law Richard Hughes; seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
