Moore, peacefully crossed over into his heavenly home on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2022, at his home in Tatums, Oklahoma. He was 98. Reverend Moore was born at home in Aberdeen, Mississippi to the late William “Bill” and Annie (Brown) Moore. He attended Mayfield Elementary School in Okolona, Mississippi 1936 to 1938 and received his GED in Sacramento, California. He served in WWII and was honorably discharged from the United States Army. After his discharge he found the Lord while working as a roofer in St. Louis, Missouri. He began his journey with the Lord under the tutelage of Reverend Fred Hollingshed in Decatur, Illinois. He worked in the Church of the Living God, C.W.F.F. as a deacon and did missionary work in rural Kentucky before being ordained. He pastored in Joliet, IL, Bakersfield, CA, Marysville, CA, and Sacramento, CA before retiring from the ministry in 2020. He was an avid gardener/farmer and was always interested in U.S. History especially the Tuskegee Airmen. He was a member of the Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. He loved walking and bike riding, but most of all loved to drive his automobiles and trucks many times across the United States. He was an expert bar-b-que pit master. He believed in community safety and improvement, spending a great deal of time and effort fighting gang violence, intimidation, and drug abuse in his neighborhood in Sacramento, CA. In 1993 he was recognized by California Attorney General, Daniel E. Lungren “for your bravery in standing up and confronting the problems created by gangs in your neighborhood.” He retired from The Sacramento, CA Army Depot in 1994 after stints working in Decatur, IL, Joliet, IL, Fargo, ND and Sacramento, CA. Carl married Bernice Adele Young (deceased) October 27, 1941, in Arkansas. To this union five children were born: Lacey Lee (deceased), Annie Louise, Carlene Adele, Fred Lee and Linda Lee. After this union was absolved, Carl married Mary Elizabeth MacDonald (deceased) and from this union two sons were born: Carl Victor and Lamar Anthony (deceased). In 1964 he was united in matrimony to Clara Mae Graham (deceased), the love of his life for 47 years, until her demise in 2012.
