Donald Richard Moore

Donald "Don" Richard Moore, a beloved member of the Ellabell, GA community, passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 22nd, 2025, at the age of 82, after a brief illness. Born on Sunday, July 25th, 1943, Don was a cherished son, brother, and friend whose warmth and kindness touched the hearts of many.

Don was preceded in death by his loving parents, Harry Hugh Moore and Gertrude Cowart Moore, as well as his siblings Mary Lee Shoff, Franklin R. Moore, Vivian Moore, Annie Ruth Bukowski, and Robert Carl Moore. He is survived by his devoted sisters, Nancy Wilson (Earl) and Janice Mitchell (Gordon), his close friend and caretaker, Karen Atkinson, and his "adopted son," Theodore Hobbs, whom he lovingly taught to play the guitar.

A Navy veteran, Don proudly served his country for four years right after graduating from high school. Following his military service, he became a skilled house painter, working independently in a career that showcased his dedication and hard work.

Don was known for his love for the Lord and his church family at Crossway Worship Center. A man of many talents, he was a self-taught guitar player who found joy in all genres of music. He was fond of rooting cuttings of flowers, sharing them with friends and loved ones as tokens of his affection. Donald also enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, like watching Westerns on TV and having a good time while watching Theodore play video games.

Friends and family are invited to honor Donald's memory during a visitation held from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm on Friday, November 28th, 2025, at Flanders Powell Funeral Home & Crematory in Pembroke, GA. Following the visitation, a funeral service will take place at 12:00 pm at the same location.

Arrangements are under the care of Flanders Powell Funeral Home & Crematory. As we bid farewell to Donald, we celebrate a life well-lived and a legacy of love that will endure in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
