Monroe Henry Moore

Monroe was born in Lincoln, Nebraska and moved to Tallahassee, Florida in 2001. He attended Killearn Lakes Elementary School, Deerlake Middle School and graduated from Lawton Chiles High School, where he enjoyed playing flute in the marching band. Monroe was a very active member of Boy Scout Troop 16, Tallahassee Florida where he earned the rank of Eagle Scout. He loved camping and earning merit badges with his fellow scouts. Some of Monroe’s fondest scouting memories were made on a hiking trip at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Monroe was very proud to attend Auburn University. He wore an Auburn shirt every day from the day he received his admission letter until the day of his death. On campus Monroe especially loved the school mascot Aubie. He was a member of the student group that helped support the mascot by creating props for gamedays. His days at Auburn were some of his happiest. Unfortunately, recurrence of bone cancer prevented his attendance during his sophomore year. His drive to be on campus kept him going during his numerous cancer treatments. While receiving treatment and with the support of his family he was able to return to school, until his cancer worsened. Monroe loved riding his bicycle around campus. After his right leg was lost to cancer he continued to enjoy riding with the help of an electric tricycle. Football was one of his favorite past times. Watching the Auburn Tigers and the New England Patriots play was his passion during football season. Throughout his life, Monroe faced many medical challenges. His always positive attitude and happy-go-lucky nature kept him going every day. Even in the worst of circumstances, Monroe could be seen smiling, laughing, and giving a thumbs up that all was good. Monroe is survived by his parents, Paul and Beverly Moore, brother Madison Moore, paternal grandparents Dean and Janet Moore (Cincinnati, Ohio) and maternal grandmother Beverly Hale (Grand Junction, Colorado). He is preceded in death by his maternal grandfather George Hale, Sr. (Grand Junction Colorado) A Memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 25, 2017 at 1:00 PM at Deerlake United Methodist Church in Tallahassee, Florida In lieu of flowers, the family requests remembrances be made to Boy Scout Troop 16,6350 Belgrand Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32312-4514.
