Gregory Lewis Moore
June 20, 1965 ~ March 19, 2026

A handsome baby boy was born, Tuesday June 20, 1965, to the parents Ollie and Cleora Moore, in Bay City TX. who was affectionately called "Greg". Greg accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior at an early age. His church affiliations were with the Tyree AME Church and Enterprise Baptist Church under the Leadership of Pastor A.H. Pointer and later under the leadership of Pastor J. Weldon Gilbert, where he sang in the choir. After moving to Houston, TX he united with the Brentwood Baptist church under the leadership of Dr. Joe S. Ratliff. There, he was a part of the children's special needs Sunday School and was also a member of the choir. Greg received his early education from Van Vleck, TX, And Bay City ISD's; graduating as a proud member of the class of 1985. After graduation, Greg attended Wharton County Junior College and Victoria Community College. During his course of studies, he obtained his Certified Nursing Assistant Certification. While in High School, Greg began working at The Conspiracy Restaurant; his work history continued with WSS Tri-County CDC Head-start, Gulf Coast Head-start, Avance Headstart, Bellaire Behavioral, and most recently Texas Children Behavioral Health. Greg was a dedicated employee and very compassionate about his job. Greg's smile, vibrant personality, and sense of humor filled every room and drew people in effortlessly. Greg loved to travel, and everywhere he went, he made new friends. His love and compassion extended far beyond his family. If you were his friend, you were definitely his family, and he made sure you knew it. Greg is preceded in death by his father Ollie Moore Jr.; grandparents Eddie Austin; Nathaniel and Melvin Trunnell; Ollie Moore Sr. and Lurlean Ray Moore; one sister Andrea Moore; brother Ollie Moore III; and nephew Cedric Moore.
