In Memory Of for Gurthie Moore Jr, United States Military, Born 11/07/47, Passed On 07/28/22, Honored by Houston National Cemetery
Today we remember a man who lived with honor, courage, and love. He served his country with the same strength and dedication that he gave to his family. Dad was our protector, our teacher, and our quiet hero. His uniform may have been folded away long ago, but the values he carried—sacrifice, loyalty, and integrity—were woven into everything he did. Though he is no longer with us, his love and his legacy live on in every life he touched. We are forever grateful for the man he was, the father he will always be, and the soldier who gave so much for others. Rest well, you’ve more than earned your peace.
