Lewis Moore

Lewis Moore, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and patriot, passed away on September 12, 2026, at the age of 73. Born on March 15, 1953, in Long Branch, New Jersey, Lewis was the beloved son of Chester and Mary Moore, who predeceased him. 

Lewis led a life defined by service, dedication, and love. He graduated from Nürnberg American High School in West Germany, where he began a journey that would see him serve his country with honor and distinction. Lewis enlisted in the United States Army in 1971, dedicating 21 years to military service before retiring in 1992 as a Staff Sergeant. His commitment and exemplary service earned him numerous accolades, including the National Defense Service Medal with two Bronze Service Stars, the Army Achievement Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, and a commendation for his civil service. 

On June 8, 1979, Lewis married the love of his life, Florine Rhett, in a beautiful ceremony in Beaufort, South Carolina. Their partnership, built on mutual respect and enduring love, spanned 48 years. Together, they created a nurturing home filled with laughter and warmth. 

Lewis was a proud father to his son Markes Moore, and a devoted grandfather to five adoring grandchildren: Dustin, Kaylee, Kyrin, Kallie, and Kiasia. His family was his pride and joy, and he cherished every moment spent with them. Lewis was predeceased by his son, Lewis Alfreddie Moore, a loss he bore with great strength and grace. 

A man of deep faith, Lewis was an active member of New Life Church in Grovetown, Georgia. His commitment to service extended beyond his military career; he was a dedicated AARP volunteer, always eager to lend a helping hand to those in need. 

Lewis's legacy is one of unwavering dedication and endless love. His kindness, humility, and generosity touched the lives of many, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him. 

A service to honor and celebrate the life of Lewis Moore will be held on September 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM at Fairhaven Funeral Home and Cremation Services, located at 3507 Wrightsboro Rd, Augusta, Georgia 30909. Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of a truly remarkable man. 

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Lewis's memory to a charity of your choice, reflecting the spirit of giving that was central to his life.
