Carl Wayne Moore, 73, a Nashville man, died with his family at his side after being cared for at Alive Hospice in late November 2018.
Born in Nashville on December 2, 1944, he was described as a lifelong member of Inglewood Baptist Church, where he spent years quietly serving in roles that ranged from leading programs to teaching and coaching youth teams—work that put him in the middle of other people’s ordinary lives, week after week, until it became a kind of legacy all its own.
He spent decades at Vaughn Manufacturing Company as a tool and die maker, then leaned into the outdoors when retirement finally arrived, drawn to hunting trips and long days fishing—especially on Percy Priest Lake, where friends expected to find him chasing hybrid striped bass.
He was survived by his wife, Dottie Luckey Moore, and their son, Eric Wayne Moore, along with close family and friends, and his services and burial were planned in Nashville in the days that followed. Publicly available information describing his passing presents it as an expected death under hospice care, and it does not indicate any arrests, suspects, or criminal proceedings connected to his death.
