Edward Lee Moore, 69, of Currie passed from his earthly life on Thursday, February 9, 2017 at his home.

He was born August 18, 1947 in Pender County, the son of thelate Edward Earl Moore and Dorothy Merritt Moore Rivenbark.

Edward is survived by his daughter, Leanne M. Cummings (David); son, Matthew Moore; grandsons, Michael Cummings and Thomas Moore; sister, Loyce Long; niece, Patricia Thornton (Danny); great niece and nephew, Brenlee and Bryce Thornton; mother of their children, Frances Stallings; aunts, Louise Davis and Myrtle Lowery (Jimmy); and many extended family and friends.

Edward was a member of Moores Creek Baptist Church. He was retired after working many years with Pender County School System in the maintenance department.

Edward loved his family and was a good daddy to Leanne and Matthew; special father-in-law to David; "Papa" to his grandchildren, Michael and Thomas; brother to Loyce; Uncle "Bubba" to Patricia, Danny and their children. He was a jack of all trades: plumbing, electrical, and carpentry work, you name it and Edward could fix it. Being an avid hunter, fisherman and gardener, Edward loved all of God's nature and creations. Special in his life were his constant canine companions, Abby and Toby. We cherish the wonderful memories of Edward that remain in our hearts.

The family will receive friends 12 to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 11, 2017 at Moores Creek Baptist Church with service at 1:00 p.m. in the church sanctuary. Pastor Roger Barnes will conduct the service. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
