LE
Leon Lloyd Moore was born February 2nd, 1930 to Editfl Morgan
Moore and Ralph Andrew Moore, in Roseburg, Oregon in the first year of
the Great Depression at a time when most of rural America had neither
electrJci nor indoor plumbing and farmed and ranched with horses.
Leon's values were like those of many of his peers who experienced the
depression and grew up in a time and place that was still close enough
to the frontier to be shaped by it. He was loyal, honest to a fault, morally
tough and unafraid of hard work. He put his family before himself and
like many people who grew up poor he was open handed and generous.
He never passed up a stranger in need and for many years as a logger
worked from before dawn to after dark without complaint to support his
family.
Much of Loan's education came from the world of experience. He
learned to farm, hunt and fish early in life. He was an athlete in high
school in Days Creek, Oregon where he played basketball and was the
star pitcher and hitter on the baseball team. He entered the working world
in his early teens, first as a truck driver and a self taught journeyman
mechanic and later as a skilled heaw equipment operator.
In 1950, after high school, he moved to Dayville, Oregon, following
the Montgomery family's daughter, Marda Jean, and where he helped his
future father-in-law in an attempt to rescue a failing ranch. The month
following her high school graduation, Marda and he were married. Their
marriage lasted 63 years until her death in November, 2013.
Soon after their first child, Marsha's, birth, Leon and Marda accompa-
nied her family to Califerniq where their second daughter, Lorri was born
and Leon worked for Sierra Mountain Mills as a mechanic and truck driver.
In 1958, the two Montgomery families and the Moores uprooted their
lives again moving their children, pets and heavy equipment to Nakusp,
British Columbia. Leon drove Cat, kept the equipment running and bossed
crews as they contract logged for Erickson Enterprises on the Upper Arrow
Lakes. Some of Leon's favorite memories were of hunting and fishing
with friends and his brother-in-law Jack while living in Nakusp. Two more
children, Russell and Lerna, were born in British Columbia.
In 1963, the Moeres once again Mowed Marda's parents, John and
Pearl, returning to the U.S., settling in Shelton where their last daughter
Sharon was born, and Leon worked for Simpson Timber Company building
roads. In the mid 1980s, Leon took an early retirement, bought a log-
ging truck and hauled for Simpson for several more years before retiring
for good.
Leon served his communil7 as a volunteer fireman and Emergency
Medical Technician and worked in tile Food Bank for the United Methodist
Church Jn Shelton for many years. Behind his crus exterior, he was
Pope Leon to his grand children and "Uncle Beastie" to his nieces and
nephews. Leon died September 11, 2014, in Shelton surrounded by his
girls.
Leon is survived by his children; Marsha Lockhart (Bruce), Lerri Moore
(Paul Sparks), Russell Moore (Rayna), Loma Shepardson (Paul) and
Sharon Fogo (John); grandchildren; Chris Camp, Caitlin Lockhart, Morgan
Sparks, Athena Shepardson, Orion Shepardson, Sierra Fogo, Jenessa
Fogo, Andree Fogo and his only great grandchild, Ben Kaulitzke.
Leon was preceded in death by his wife Marda, perents Andy and Edith,
older sister Nettie and younger brother Jim. Also, his many beloved clogs
who were his constant companions and friends during his retirement.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the United Methodist Church in
Shelton, Washington on November 8 at 4:00 pro. Donations in lieu of
flowers can be made to the United Methodist Church food bank.
The family wants to thank the ICU staff at Mason General Hospital
for the care provided to Leon his last days with us and to Rose who
befriended him and cared for him during the last year.
