Born on 10/11/1956 in Los Angeles County Tyrone Moore entered the world by way of Lonnie Moore and Alice Moore. With an older brother Lonnie Moore Jr, and his parents, Tyrone and his family survived in Los Angeles County but in the 1950s and 1960s where Compton, CA was a very real nightmare for black families due to severe racism and segregation. Lonnie Moore & Alice Moore also had their third son, Curtis Moore who was born with a genetic disorder of down syndrome. It was very evident that Curtis's life and dependence on his new family created a desire in Lonnie and Alice’s hearts that the family needed a new chapter in the Moore’s book of life. Lonnie Moore & Alice then decided to move the family to the State of Alaska. Yes, the very cold state of Alaska.

This is where Tyrone Moore grew up as a young man, loving to play football and basketball, and discovering what a completely new environment had to offer Alaska gave Tyrone Moore many memories. Lonnie and Alice Moore learned to depend on God and the Love of Jesus to navigate through all these tough and exciting years. Their heart was to extend that love to their children and never waiver in showing them the Love of the Father through Jesus. Despite knowing that he was loved by his parents and living through tough times as a young man Tyrone decided to venture into new experiences during the 70s, a time of disco, discovery, and experimentation with various drugs. While seeking new experiences and trying to adapt to a completely different society, at the time the party life was more attractive than following God. However, his parents and family were always patiently loving and praying for Tyrone to turn his life over to God.

During this time of exploration, Tyrone Moore met Ruby Moore In their early young adult years, they had 3 children, the oldest Conan Moore, then Tyrone Moore Jr., and Benjamin Moore in the late 1970s and early 80s. Although Tyrone & Ruby did not stay together, both were doing their best to try and raise a family, but it became apparent that the pressure of life and succumbing to other priorities diminished the ability to keep a typical family dynamic. As God would have it, Tyrone Moore ended up trying to raise three boys on his own, and during this time many great memories and many tough times encompassed the family.

Some of the great times were Tyrone Moore teaching Conan how to shoot a basketball with perfect form, ultimately having Conan become an HS balling legend, while Tyrone and Ben copied the training in the background, and they too cross folks up with the best of them. Other great times were Tyrone helping his sons build forts in the living room, sledding on the coolest trails, and teaching his kids about how cool it was to listen to hip-hop, classic rock, and classical music. Some of the tough times were Tyrone coping through drugs when times were tough raising his kids alone as this was tough territory to tread. He collected comics and ultimately got all 3 of his sons to know the comic history of almost every marvel character from the 1990s-2000s. Until this day he encouraged his sons to live life with a wild imagination as he had a collection of well over 5000 comic books. One of the most life-changing events that ultimately led to Tyrone turning his life around was losing his older brother Lonnie Jr at a early age. This tragic event made Tyrone realize how precious life was, and that every second in life mattered.

Ultimately Lonne and Alice wanted to move back to CA but this time in Oceanside, CA! Tyrone still struggling to fight off some of the older vices and still seeking quick fixes to deal with prior pain ended up falling back into drugs. While his boys were learning to become men, it was in the early 1995 when Tyrone Moore gave his life to God and started learning about Jesus for himself personally. This new relationship with a heavenly Father gave Tyrone a new perspective on love, caring for his family, and ultimately asking for deep forgiveness to those he may have offended and hurt. His new relationship with God had a strong impression on his sons who were thankful to see their Father slowly become a better father and man. A lot of friends of Conan, Tyrone, and Benjamin Moore have fond memories of Tyrone at basketball games, and practices, the dad rocking tight jeans in the 1990’s cracking jokes and making kids' and adults life. This was Tyrone that made friends easily, cared for family deeply, and in the most imperfectly perfect way sough to live with dignity and love that he could not create for years on his own.

During the 2000s as his father Lonnie and mother Alice were getting older Tyrone took care of his parents with the highest of love and dignity. And when Alice Moore passed away a decade ago, Tyrone knew Curtis needed his care and love. As his sons, now men, watched Tyrone care for the family that he grew up with, it was as if they were seeing someone making up his mistakes in the past through care and love. Also during this time, he was learning to foster ‘new’ relationships with his sons. When Conan, Tyrone, and Ben decided to have families of their own Tyrone became a grandfather to more than 14 grandchildren. Each one of his grandkids had a unique relationship with him, he had a deep connection with a few of his grandkids from the family of Conan, Tyrone, and Ben Moore.

After Curtis passed away, its as if Tyrone knew 75% of his job was done in life, and the last 25% of his years were now dedicated to loving his family. From the years of 2018 to the present day he won the heart of Olivia Moore, who is her best friend forever. He bragged about the kindness and care of his daughter in laws who each had their unique relationships with him, shot out to the best wives on planet earth Elaine, Blanca, and Kristen Moore. He loved them all uniquely and deeply. And he spent his last years living with Benjamin Moore who cared for him in the last few years of his life and Tyrone. And Conan in North Dakota sending out consistent love and support. Tyrone did end up losing both of his legs and became a double-leg amputee, but this still did not stop him from taking care and loving his family.

Once Tyrone Moore’s kidney started to fail in 2021 he knew that his time was limited, so he spent his last days on earth stocking up on Walmart groceries (his way of seeing blessings then poverty), laughing and cracking jokes with the Davita Healthcare team, binge watching star trek next generation, and marvel movies, watching CNN and clowning fox news, and just enjoying a quiet life of peace which he rarely ever had in all his 60 years. Most importantly these last years he loved on his grandkids hard, especially the kids he lived with. He was self-aware that his time was limited so he had very real talks with his family about starting his new life, his true life with Alice Moore, Lonnie Moore, his older brother Lonnie Jr, and Curtis Moore. He would have vivid dreams of his family, and they must have been preparing him for his transition.

On 1/15/2023 Tyrone Moore caught pneumonia, although he ultimately fought the infection the Carbon Dioxide damaged his already weak lungs to a point where it was tough for him to inhale the right amount of oxygen and expel enough Co2 to keep him alive. He received ER care at Temecula Valley Hospital and then was transitioned to Kindred Healthcare. The whole time at Kindred he just wanted to come home. Tyrone & Ben Moore had to heed the Dr decision to discharge him. On 2/13/23 Benjamin Moore with no help from Kindred took Tyrone Moore back home. When Benjamin Moore laid him down on his bed he sighed in relief and asked Ben for Chicken and a popsicle. He told Tyrone Moore who was an old man and he fell asleep as you can tell he was tired from being in a hospital environment. On 2/14/23 Benjamin Moore saw that Tyrone Moore was not as responsive the day before, and both Benjamin Moore and Tyrone Moore could sense we may only have a week left. Blanca and the kids showed up, Tyrone showed up and right when Benjamin signed Hospice paperwork our father breathed his last breath. During his last hour, we held his hand, read him promising scripture that Jesus got his back, kissed him hugged him, and his sons reminded him of all the times he used to throw us in the snow, taught up how to love, and let him know he can rest, and he left us but stepped into heaven on 2/14/23. Tyrone Moore a loving father and grandfather, a child of God, a lover of Jesus who strived all his life during tough times, we celebrate his life.
