Send flowers for Rev. Dr. Richard W. Moore

We extend our deepest condolences to you during this time of celebration of life. We know the Word of God teaches us that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8), and we take comfort in knowing my big brother in Christ, your beloved husband and father is now in the presence of our Savior. We are profoundly grateful for the gift and anointing he brought into all of our lives. His ministry, his wisdom, and his unwavering faith left an indelible mark on everyone he encountered. His legacy lives on—not only in the lives he touched but also through the love and strength that continue to shine through both of you. May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We are praying for your comfort, strength, and continued grace in the days ahead. When we all get to heaven, we'll sing & shout the victory!

Reverend Georgette Agnew

Richard, your cousins bid you good rest. You preceded all of us into life everlasting. I know your mom and dad greeted you with joy and surprise. I imagine you there with your Aunt Clarasteen, Aunt Wilma, and Uncle Rudolph laughing, telling jokes and having a good time. We feel your presence still as it is still difficult to comprehend that you are no longer in physical form. Nevertheless, we delight that you are in the best place. Thank you for the gift of your life. We will love on Karen, Ruby, Kim, Pam and your host of nieces and nephews.

On behalf of my wife(Pat) and myself, we were deeply sadden by the sudden passing of Rev. Dr. Moore. He was an outstanding Associate Pastor at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Stafford, Va. He will be deeply and sorely missed. .Rest in the Lord My Dear Friend.

Cecil and Patricia Nelson

I met Richard while working closely with him while he was the Supervisor of the Surveillance Squad at the Kansas City Federal Bureau of Investigation Office (FBI). I was tasked with monitoring wiretaps & coordinated with the agents working surveillance. Richard would always give me trouble (jokingly) about something. He was so caring & yet professional in his work. One story I remember was my neighbor asked us over for an occasion & there was Richard with a broken leg sitting on the couch. I approached him to inquire what happened & he whispered that no one in attendance from his church knew he was an FBI Agent. They just knew he was in technology. We spoke for a short while and that was that. On another occasion this same neighbor invited my husband and I over to her residence. Richard and his wife were present in attendance also. We had another friendly conversation & his wife came up & gave me a big hug. At the end of this party my neighbor came up to me & expressed how did I really know Richard and his wife. I kept his secret but I know eventually Richard had to tell the truth at least to my neighbor. Richard you were taken way way too young but I know you were a man of faith and heard your calling.

May God watch over and bless the Moore family especially Karen and Ruby.

My heartfelt condolences to the Moore family.

I first met Rich in KC where he served as an FBI Supervisor in that field office. He and a few of us from FBIHQ went out to lunch at one of the local restaurants.When we were about finished, I told Rich...you know it's customary for the host field office to pick up the tab for lunch. He knew I just made that comment up. So, Rich says...."Gary, you are right! Everyone can have as much as they can eat off my plate." We laughed because he knew I did not have a comeback for that. Rich was also solid in his faith. He would always welcome the opportunity to bless the food at our office gatherings at Christmas or for whatever occasion required it to be done. At one of these occasions years ago, I said, Reverend Rich! You want to do the honors of blessing the food? He gladly did so without hesitation.He asked me later.."Why did you refer to me as Reverend?" I told him, It was because I saw it in him! It was not until I saw his picture and the title of "Reverend Dr. Richard Moore" that I realized he was indeed a Minister. Then again....Rich did not need a title to show what he believed in and who he represented. He was a true brother of the faith: No doubt he is in glory right now! Peace and blessings, Gary Jennings

Gary Jennings and Family

Brother Richard walked this earth with the grace of a shepherd, the wisdom of a scholar, and the heart of a servant. He understood that faith was not merely spoken but lived, demonstrated in his kindness, his leadership, and his love for family. He was a man who knew that to uplift others is to serve God himself, and in that service, he reflected the divine. Though his earthly journey has ended, his spirit rises--resonating in the lives he touched, the souls he strengthened, and the lessons he imparted. We do not mourn as those without hope; we honor a life well-lived, a purpose fulfilled, and a legacy that will endure through generations. May the Most High grant him peace as he takes his place among the righteous.

To the Moore family; please accept my deepest condolences. Rich was a man of deep faith with a kind heart. He would often speak of family and its importance—and he lived those words. He was always teaching and mentoring; sometimes subtly, sometimes not so much—in an effort to make his target audience a better person. I learned a lot from him and will miss his advice and wisdom.

Karen and Ruby, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope the memories you all shared will comfort you.

Rest in peace Brother

Rich Wendelken

My sincere condolences to Rich's family. He was a friend, mentor and brother. Blessings to the Moore family.

Steven Dean

I am grateful to have known Rich, like a brother. He often said in his easy way to me "you make me a better Christian". In fact, it was Rich who did that for me. My wife & I both send our heartfelt love and condolences to his family.
