Billy Joe Moore

Billy Joe Moore, age 85, of Mt. Airy, passed away on Sunday, June 14, 2020.

Born on December 7, 1934, in Turnerville, Georgia, he was a son of the late Cecil and Susie Shirley Moore.  Mr. Moore retired from Robertson Furniture Company. He enjoyed gardening, taking his grandchildren fishing, wood-working, going to the mountains and fixing up/showing hot rods.  He was Mr. “Fix It” in the community.  He enjoyed cooking his grandchildren scrambled eggs; which they say are the best in the world and nobody can make scrambled eggs like my “Pa”.  The highlight of his day was taking his late wife Agnes, of 62 years, and their dog CJ on golf cart rides around the property.

In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by his wife, Agnes Marie Davis Moore; brothers, Frank Moore, Walter Moore, Phil Moore; sisters, Ruth Moore Gamez, and Emogene Moore Maxwell.

Survivors include his daughters, Donna White of Mount Airy, Nancy Moore Stowe and son-in law Rick Stowe of Houston, Texas, and son Joey Moore of Mount Airy; grandchildren and spouses, Brentley and Tiffany Jaworski of Baldwin, Cody and Lillie Brewer of Alto, Kalei Brewer of Lula and her fiancé, Caleb Davis of Oakwood; great grandson, Braxton Jaworski of Baldwin.
