Richard Allen Moore, Sr.

Richard Allen Moore Sr.: 1966 – 2024

Richard Allen Moore Sr. was born in Casper, Wyoming, on December 10, 1966, where he was raised as a third-generation Wyoming native. He left his earthen vessel to be with his heavenly father on Dec. 2, 2024. He was, no doubt, escorted by his beautiful Grandma Vivian, as he so described her.

His love for his family knew no bounds. Although his long, hard hours working in the oilfield meant he couldn’t spend as much time with them as he wanted, he cherished each moment he could. He was a big man with a gentle spirit and will be remembered as such.

He spent his last eleven weeks on this earth in the cardiac ICU unit at the University of Minnesota, where family and staff were amazed at his strength, calm demeanor, and determination to beat the odds. However, God’s will was to end his struggles and suffering, taking him home. We take comfort in knowing that he isn’t suffering any longer but resting in the arms of our lord and rejoicing with loved ones gone before him.

He leaves behind the love of his life and wife, Becky Moore; sons, Richard Allen Moore Jr. (Patricia Jean Moore) and Ryan Hanson; daughters, Amanda Hanson and Lyra Moore; grandsons: Kelson Moore, Connell Moore, and Cadan Moore; granddaughters, Aurora Brown and Jupiter Brown; his mother, Linda Bucher and stepfather, Ronald Bucher; sisters, Renee Moore and Kellie Martin; sister-in-law, Grace Moore; as well as numerous uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Gone before him are his father, Patrick Moore; brother, Sean Moore; and both paternal and maternal grandparents.
