Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Philip Lynn Moore, Jr. was born June 24th, 1959 in Miami, Florida to the late Philip Moore, Sr., and Lavann Moore. His family describes him as a big ball of magnificent. Philip worked for numerous grocery stores in the produce department, one of them being Lewis Jones. He spent the last 12 years of his working career as a Maintenance Supervisor for Edmond Estates in Phenix City, Alabama. Christ was a huge part of Philip’s life in his later years. He ran a Facebook page, Christians for Christ, where he would chat with people and provide inspiration to others. His faith could move mountains. He was the previous Associate Pastor at Lakeview Church and the Children’s Pastor at Brown Springs Church of God, both in Box Springs, Georgia. He served as the chairman for Marion County Family Connections. He was also “The Man” when it came to the Marion County Recreational Football League; he acted as the coach, financial supporter, driver, and many other roles. His hobbies included arts and crafts; he was very talented with oil painting, watercolor painting, and pencil drawing. He was quite the artist, leaving his home filled with his original work. He also enjoyed music, being outdoors, camping, looking for Indian artifacts, and cooking. His peanut butter cookies and biscuits were a family favorite. He always found himself to be funny and original. He never let anything weigh him down. The love that Philip had for his wife and children was remarkable. They were his world. He took care of his wife when she was sick and never complained once. He was a self-less man. He even helped raise his nephews and would take anyone in with open arms.
Philip Lynn Moore, Jr., 59 of Columbus, Georgia passed away June 19th, 2019 at his home. He is preceded in death by his parents, sister Kathleen Lemon, and brother Michael Travis Moore.
Survivors include his wife of 38 years Tammy Moore; children Gene Moore, and Travis Moore and his wife Ashley; sister Debbie Akin; loving nephews Jon Moore, Michael Moore, and Christopher Sewell; and his beloved aunt Michelle Moore Williams.
A memorial service will be held at 2:00pm, Monday, June 24th, 2019 at Lake Pines Chapel; 6404 Garrett Road, Midland, Georgia 31820.
The Moore family would like to extend their deepest appreciation to Dr. Douglas Ciuba, his nurse Robin, the radiology department staff at JBACC, and the staff at Columbus Hospice for their love, care, and support.

Tammy, Phillip will always hold a very special place in my heart. Loved it when he would raze me about my Auburn Tigers and I would do the same with his Rolltide team. I treasure my stuffed Tiger. Thank you for sharing him with us. We love you guys. Robin King, RNC.

I can truly say that Philip was all that this article says. He was a friend and a loving husband too Tammy. Along with being a loving and caring father. Not only to his children but to others also. He had a heart of gold that not many possess. This is a loss for us but a gain for him. He’s in the arms of Jesus.
A special thank you to a special friend Tammy, thank you for always being by his side and sharing him with us. I love you.
Barbara Shafer says
He is at rest with his Lord. You always fought for him. My deepest sympathies.

We are missionary’s in Japan and have been corresponding with Philip for several years. That his race is run… and his battle is done… is a joy in Heaven. He was such a faithful witness right to the end. Our sorrow is only blotted out by knowledge of the Lord’s Grace & Salvation. He’s Home & I so look forward to meeting him there one day. I think folks will be greatly surprised by the wonderful honors the Lord is going to bestow upon him there. The verse… “Of Whom The World Was Not Worthy…” (Hebrews 11:32-40) fits Philip so well.

I only knew Mr. Moore a short time through Columbus Hospice. But it didn’t take long to see what a remarkable and talented man he was who deeply loved and was loved deeply by his family. It was truly an honor to get to meet him. Mrs. Moore, you and your sons will be in my thoughts and prayers today and in the days to come. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Please accept my sincere condolences. God knows the pain that comes when we lose a loved one, that is why God describes death as an enemy that he yearns to do away with (1 Corinthians 15:26). Our dear loved ones who are resting in death will soon be awakened and reunited with us (Isaiah 26:19). Hold on firmly to this beautiful hope, and may the wonderful memories fill your mind and heart.
