David Delbert Moore, 79, was ushered by angels into Heaven on June 5, 2025, at his

home in Oak Hill, Ohio. He was born on Cozy Glen in Oak Hill to the late Carl Milford

and Dessie Violet (Clark) Moore on October 22, 1945.

David graduated from the Oak Hill High School Class of 1963. He was a hard worker

who started mowing grass and doing odd jobs for countless people around town. He

worked at the former Abele Auto Sales and Barnett Ford from April 1969 through

December 1988 where he started as clean up, and quickly progressed to parts and

service manager earning many sales and service awards along the way, including a

gold medal for service in 1981. When Barnett Ford closed, he returned to mowing grass

and odd jobs until he was hired by the Oak Hill Union Local School District as a

custodian in 1990, where he worked until his retirement in 2017.

David’s passions included gardening, going to yard sales and flea markets, fishing and

hunting, and most of all trading whatever and whenever. He never turned down a good

trade!

He is survived by his wife, Patsy Sue (Weddington) Moore, whom he married June 20,

1969; three sons, Brian Todd (Rhonda) Moore, Bradley Aaron (Beth Schonter) Moore,

and Brandon Clark (Crystal) Moore; grandchildren, Brianna Madison Moore, Colton

Parker Moore, Bradley Aaron Moore, Johnathon Lee Schonter, Ashley Nicole (Josh)

Merrill, and Lindsey Michelle (Justin Rhodes) Landrum; great grandchildren, Addison

Paige Merrill, Olivia Faith Merrill, and Janson Reed Rhodes; a brother, Carl Clayton

Moore, and a sister, Theresa Kay Hughes; sisters- and brothers-in-law, Deborah Moore,

Janelle Moore, David and Bonnie Maynard, and Debbie Weddington; a special cousin

Larry (Karen) McCoy; as well as several uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and

many good friends.

Besides his parents, David is preceded in death by an infant son, Triffon Bruce Moore;

his father- and mother-in-law, Oral “Bus” and Lillian (Blackburn) Weddington; brothers,

Robert Ellsworth “Freck” Moore, Lew Ervin Moore, and Alan Drew Moore; an infant

sister, Rhonda Fern Moore; brothers-in-law, Kenneth Wayne Hughes and David Eugene
