Kelvin Moore ~ Memorial Service

Kelvin Moore 81, passed away peacefully at his home in Teachey, Duplin County, North Carolina on June 25th 2024 — his 61st wedding anniversary — with his beloved wife, Mariam Moore by his side. A devoted husband, father and grandfather Kelvin lived a life rooted in faith, family, and farming.

Born January 22nd 1943, in Johnston County, North Carolina, Kelvin spent nearly his entire life in the Fuquay-Varina area, where he became a pillar of his community. From a young age, he was drawn to agriculture, growing up on a family farm and taking an active role in FFA (Future Farmers of America). That early connection to the land would guide his career and shape his character.

Kelvin spent most of his working life managing John Deere dealerships, where he became well known and loved by the farmers he served. To many, Kelvin was more than a salesman — he was a trusted advisor, a loyal friend, and a fellow steward of the land. His knowledge, honesty, determination, and genuine care left a lasting mark on the farming community he served with pride.

Kelvin was also a man of deep Christian faith. A dedicated member and deacon of his church, he led with quiet strength, humility, and compassion. His faith guided every part of his life — from how he served others to how he loved his family.

Kelvin was survived by his wife; Mariam Moore, daughter; Mia Moore; grand children; Kelvin and Samantha and two sisters, Anita Moore and Vanessa Hudgens.
