WAR EAGLE SGT MOORE! You taught me so much at Peachtree mall. I will truly miss you and your sarcasm! Rest easy my friend.

Regina Morrison

We are deeply saddened by the passing of SGT Moore. He was not only a dedicated member of the Andy Frain Security team but also a familiar and respected presence at Peachtree Mall. I had the pleasure of sharing many conversations with him over the years, and it was clear how proud he was of his daughter—especially as her graduation approached.

Though we offered him several opportunities to grow with the company, he always said, "Not until my daughter graduates." His devotion to his family and his role here left a lasting impression on us all. SGT Moore will be truly missed by the entire Peachtree Mall family. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones during this difficult time.

Respectfully, Demetria Johnson

Bru where can I start. From childhood to adult. You always was a smart cool brother. See you in the mall all the time. Bru this a hard pill to shallow. From play in the yard as kids to adulthood. You will always be in our heart. Remember you been a great athlete and a great head on your shoulders. You never changed who you was. Bru rest in love! God had to have you more!

Mike was the first manager I worked with that I actually like. He was such a joking guy, he made me comfortable working on the southside and made me into the person that I am today. we even drove trucks together and he did most of the driving. At the minimum 15 years of knowing him. He will be missed then later finding out we were family two different ways. You always hold a special part in my You always

Dad!

I truly don't even know where to start. Thank you for being my dad. Even on my to if heat days I always knew that you were one call away and could turn my entire attitude around. If I tried to put every single memory of my dad and I on here, the internet would probably crash because of how long this message would be. I remember you told me that the last thing you'd ever say to me is "I love you always" and you were right. Everytime you'd hang up, you'd tell me that. Everytime I saw you, you'd tell me that. You always told me how proud of me you are for being the person I am. You always said I was kind hearted and to never change. I know you are so proud of me and who I'm becoming

I remember the day that I applied to Alabama and I was thinking about you. I remember the day that I got in and you said "Alabama huh, pssshhh they need more smart people to go there, that's why they admitted you". I remember when I told you about my scholarship and you were so overly proud of me. One of the lasts conversations we had was actually about how much money I got for college and you were so amazed. Even though I was an "Updike", you were so proud of my hard work.

You always told me that I was your favorite person in the entire world, that I am your world, the reason you wake up every day. I don't know what you'd do without me lol. I know I always kept you humble, especially when I'd tell you how I was the better Adrainne (I know you're always the #1 Adrainne, I just like to be difficult lol).

Everyone always tells me that I look just like you but I never really believed it. I looked in the mirror this morning and I didn't even see myself, I saw you. I remember the last conversation we had was about my graduation speech and how I need to start from the end and then work backwards. I hate that you physically won't be here to hear it. I hate that you won't be here ever again. I wish I would've called you one last time, but I know you died knowing that I loved you.

I can never be too sad, because I know that I will never be without you as long as I'm here. Everytime someone calls me "Adrainne" instead of AJ, I'll be reminded that this isn't only my name, but yours. I actually think it's kind of funny, a few people have started to call me Michael in the past year😭. Everytime they say it I want to say "this isn't Mike" but I am you. Everytime I look in the mirror, I'll see you. Fun fact: we have the same exact mole on the right side of our nose (his is wayyyyyy bigger than mine though).

One thing I'll miss the most is how highly you spoke of me. I could do the worst thing known to man and I'd still be your baby at the end of the day. I know you're always proud of me, and I'm going to continue to make you proud.

I remember he sent me the song "to Zion" by Lauryn Hill and said "this may not be your name, but this is exactly how I feel about you", I've listened to it every morning since you passed. I remember when I was younger we'd always sing "ain't no mountain high enough" and I've listened to that song at least 5 times since Saturday. I remember you played the song "nobody's perfect" by j. Cole, I love that song. And I can rap Int'l Players Anthem word for word, bar for bar... maybe we are too much alike lol.

Thank you for giving me your name (and your mole lol), it reminds me that there will never go a day where you aren't with me. I know you loved me more than anything in this world, even Auburn (and you believe in auburn and love it). I will make you proud every day I wake up. Even if I'm an "Updike" and going to "turd town", I know you're just happy that I'm going to school. Thank you for being unapologetically you, even when you got on my nerves, I still loved you to death. I know you loved me more than anything and you always will.

I love you always, ROLL TIDE ROLL❤️🤍

- your favorite Updike, your baby girl, AJ

Mike! I will truly miss you! There are so many memories of him that I will treasure forever.

My favorite memory is of him walking up to me asking "what did you do on your day off?" And me answering "HUH?!" Giving him a big smile and giggle. Every time we saw each other, he told me that I needed get out, live my life and find my own human. He never joked about that. He genuinely cared about people. The last time we spoke, he gave me some homework and made me promise to complete it. (I'm still on it Sir!)

His midget and I can't even talk about him and face each other at work for to long before we feel the tears coming. Our secret: After we talk about him then quickly retreat to our separate corners. (That may sound like we are being ridiculous.) But Mike was a below the surface type of guy who was genuine with every word he spoke. He had the courage to tell you the truth with a certain poise, even if it wasn't what you wanted to hear. That's the kind of human you don't come across everyday!

Mike may not want or expect people to shed a tear over him. But when we do, it is a genuine response to just how much we appreciated him and miss his presence in that moment. One day our tears will go away and we'll wear a smile when we think about him. But for now...

Oh Mr. Moore the "Germ" to my "BigSwig" this really hurts me ,I all ready made a couple heart felt post & I know he wouldn't want me sad (he really was just a life happens kinda man) he wouldn't want us hung up to long but we truly lost a great soul ITS SO MUCH I could say so many stories lol like how he bought me a journal because i wanted to get into a hobby when I heart broken & surprisingly but not really in that moment he was the one who gave me faith in males again lol or how he got a fake tattoo of my name on my birthday because I said how much I wanted everyone in the world to tattoo my name on them (he told me that wasn't practical when I first told him so him going and doing that was too sweet & random) he would talk for hrs constantly listening to me & my coworkers endless talking but we were always happy to hear he story times he made the 8 hrs days feel like just 2

I'm really truly going too miss him so dang much really the coolest guy I know Mr. Moore was basically me & my coworkers uncle ugh who am I going to hug at work when I'm in my hugging moods ,who's going to do a little head shake laughing basically running away after I say something random (in response to something wild he said) all in all i'm going to miss him like no other he truly was one of a kind he made special relationships with each of us that weren't close to being comparable to the other & only an amazing person with wonderful character can pull something like that off!!

My first day of working was in November, and I remember seeing and speaking to Mr. Moore for the very first time. He walked in my job, like he always does quiet at first, but once he started talking, it was like he'd been there the whole time. He saw me, looked at my sister, and said, "Are y'all sisters?!" Then he asked for my name, and ever since that day, it was always, "Oh well, hello A'Jada," followed by him asking how my day was going.

One thing I knew for sure: when the day was slow and there was nothing to do, Mr. Moore would walk in and somehow make those boring times something to look forward to. He gave me so much advice always seemed to have the right answer to my problems. He even gave me boy advice, even when I didn't want to hear the truth (lol). He'd listen to me go on and on about college, even after telling me "Georgia sucks but whatever makes you happy."

He always stood up for me, especially when my sister or coworkers gave me a hard time. And he never missed a chance to talk about his daughter & how she was just like him and how proud he was of her.

Mr. Moore wasn't just our security guard... he was family to us at Know-Style. I could thank him a million times over for listening, for making us laugh, for being there on the slow days, and just for being the absolute best. He truly was a wonderful man.

Ajada Green

He was a great person and always gave advice when needed. He always knew when to give you the truth and make you smile even if he didnt know you need it. He forever left a mark on not only my humor but my way of thinking. SGT will forever be missed.

Trinity Whittington

I've only known him for a short time but in those moments i've made a pretty cool friend he is nice, wholesome and looks out for the people he cares about he didn't know me when he came to speak but talked to me like i've known him since forever i wish i could've spoke to him more even if it was for a little bit you will be missed Rest in paradise.

Earl Armstrong

I don't even know how to begin this because it's Moore. This one hurts.

He was more than just the security guard who walked the mall. He was my person at work. My everyday smile. My protector. My favorite conversation. My best buddy. Every single time he passed by the cookie shop, he stopped to talk. Without fail. He'd grab stuff from the top shelf for me like clockwork, and I'd always say, "What's up, MacaMoore?" And he'd smile and say, "Not much, Wendy." That was our thing. Our little moment.

He always asked me how I was doing. And I mean really asked. He cared. He talked to me about everything. Sports, life, people in the mall. He always made time, even when he was just passing through.

At the end of every night, I packed two peanut butter cookies for him. Always two. That was his snack. That was our unspoken little ritual. I swear, I would've baked him a whole batch if he ever asked.

It breaks my heart that I don't get to hear that "Not much, Wendy" anymore. I'm going to miss him so much. His calm presence. His quiet jokes. His ability to make you feel safe without saying a lot.

Moore, thank you for being a constant light in my day. Thank you for making even the longest shifts feel better just by stopping by. I'll never forget you. And I'll always keep a couple peanut butter cookies ready, just in case you walk by one more time.

Rest easy MacaMoore. I'll be missing you forever

Sgt. Moore... the biggest Auburn fan I've ever known, left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. I still remember the very first thing he ever said to me: "You're Hispanic but your name is Kimberly???" It caught me off guard and made me laugh, it was so him. Curious, blunt, and full of personality. His go-to at Sbarro was always a large spaghetti with his 2-4 meatballs, and of course, that iconic iced cold water. He loved his little routines, and somehow, those small things became a part of what made him feel familiar and comforting to everyone around him. He was a quiet observer, always ready with a smile, a nod, or a piece of advice that somehow hit just right. He always carried himself with such peace, like he didn't have a single worry in the world, and maybe that's why I trusted him so much. His advice always felt grounded, like it came from someone who had truly lived and learned. One of my favorite memories was the day I told him I got accepted to Auburn University. His eyes lit up. He was so proud and excited, like it was his win too. That meant everything to me. Knowing that I got to share that with him is something I'll always carry in my heart. He was more than just a security guard at the mall. He was a friend, a protector, a constant. He greeted everyone with warmth and made people feel seen, no matter who they were or where they came from. The mall feels a little colder without him. Even though I wasn't able to give him a ticket to my graduation, I know he'll be there. Watching over, proud as ever, probably rocking some Auburn gear in spirit. Thank you, Sgt. Moore, for your kindness, your wisdom, and the light you brought into so many lives. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Rest easy... and War Eagle forever.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
