David Michael Moore
David M. Moore, age 63, from Middleton, MA, suddenly passed away this week in Virginia. He is predeceased by his parents, Nancy Moore and Frederick Moore, and his older brother, John Moore. He is survived by his loving wife, Joan Moore, and their two daughters – Sarah Gross of Greenville, SC, and Jen Moore of Mooresville, NC. He’s also survived by his sister-in-law, Mary Moore, widow of John Moore, and their children, Bridget and John Moore, all of Maine. He also has multiple nieces and nephews that survive him.
David and Joan were married in June of 1987. After they were married, he promised Joan: “It’s going to be an adventure!” Life saw them as expats in Germany, drove through Europe to visit family in England, and moved back to Massachusetts. David graduated from Northeastern University in Boston with an MBA. Life took them south to Maryland where they lived for 14 years! The adventure continued to North Carolina where they lived near Lake Norman. Throughout the years, he worked in finance for many Fortune 500 companies in Massachusetts, Germany, Maryland, and North Carolina.
Upon semi-retirement, he moved closest to what he loves best – the ocean – and took Joan, Waylon (their dog), and Chirp (the cat) with him. He started a local electric bike shop with Joan near their retirement home on the Outer Banks called Carolina Shores Electric Bikes OBX. He made friends with people wherever he went. His favorite spot was on the ocean, behind the helm of a power boat, fishing, or walking on the beach with Joan and Waylon. There were many 4th of July celebrations with extended family and friends spent in Massachusetts or Thanksgiving in the Outer Banks.
He enjoyed good food, wine, and the company of family and friends. David had a generous spirit, a kind heart, and liked helping where and when he could. He was a board member of the United Way of Central Maryland and the Board Chair of the United Way of Carroll County, Maryland. He was a long-time Cadillac Allante Owners Group member and started the Baltimore branch in the 2010s. David enjoyed restoring Cadillac Allantes and taking his family to car shows.
Cooking was a source of joy for Dave. The family looked forward to his Sunday cinnamon raisin French toast, Christmas beef tenderloin with mushroom au jus gravy, and his creations as “the grill master”. Dave also loved carpentry and frequently fixed or built things around the house. He inherited his green thumb from his mother and enjoyed landscaping and being out in the garden.
The family has chosen the simplicity of a cremation and a celebration of David’s life will be held at a future date. Please share a story or a fond memory of David with the family at www.gallopfuneralservices.com. Amen, rest in peace, he will be missed. Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. was entrusted with arrangements.

Dearest Joan, Sarah and Jen, We are so very sorry to hear about Dave’s sudden passing and our hearts are with you during this very difficult time. You all were wonderful neighbors and friends for many years and we have many dear memories or your family. Dave was such a nice guy and I cannot imagine the loss you’re all feeling right now.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked for Dave while he was at Technibilt. Prayers for all your family!
While we didn't know Dave well when you were in Mooresville, we had an opportunity to get to know him when we were welcomed into your home in Duck for a couple of days in April of this year. We are saddened to hear of his passing and the missed opportunity to strengthen a friendship that began in April. Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
My heart goes out to you, Joanie, Sarah, and Jen. Dave was taken much too soon. He was such a good man….I will forever remember his kind and calming ways (and his contagious laugh!) He was my mentor for over 12 years at KBC (he was our captain!!)…I looked up to him, and I owe him so much for the many successes I’ve had in my career. He will be sorely missed, and my prayers are with you and your sweet family as you go through this sad time. XOXO

Dear Joan, Sarah and Jenna, We were heartbroken to hear of Dave's passing. We have a lot of fond memories of being neighbors in MD. Dave always had a smile and lots of friendly conversation! Big hugs and lots of prayers to you all in the days ahead. He will be missed!
Dave and I worked together at KBC and he was always a true gentlemen. He never seemed to get frazzled and he always had a way of putting you at ease. I'm so sorry for your loss .. he was one of the great ones.
This news breaks our hearts for you and your family. David got us hooked on electric bikes. We always enjoyed "stopping by to chat and get advice". We are better people for knowing him.
So sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. I worked with Dave at Knorr and he always was a calming voice around all the chaos. He was my friend and we always had good conversations. When Knorr had purple Fridays and employees wore their Baltimore Ravens jerseys, Dave proudly wore his New England Patriots jersey. He was one of a kind and will be missed.
We are immensely sad over the sudden passing of David. He was our neighbor in Outer Banks and was always so kind and helpful as we navigated being new neighbors. Anytime we saw him. He was full of life and energy and had a big smile on his face. We have Joan and the family in our hearts and prayers during this very difficult time.
Dear Joan, Sarah and Jenna, We are so sad to hear about Dave’s passing. Dave was such a kind man. We had a wonderful group of neighbors on Morning Breeze Drive. The Moore’s were one of those lovely families. Our prayers are with all of you.
I loved how full of life and positivity Uncle David was. He was generous, fun, and family centered. I am grateful I got to spend more time with him over the past few years during my parents 50th anniversary weekend, Sarah's wedding, and more recently when he came up to Maine support his big brother. His laugh and zest for life will be unforgettable. All my love to Joan, Sarah, Jen, and Waylon.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family.
My thoughts & prayers continue to be with you all. I'm still lost for words. He was such a kind & generous soul, one of the most easy-going men anyone could know.
