Eric Gale Moore of Blue Springs, MO passed away at the University of Kansas Medical Center on Tuesday, March 19th, 2019 at the age of 59 from complications associated with ALS. He was surrounded by his daughters and son-in-law as God called him home. Eric was born February 22, 1960 to Glenn and Nita (Silvius) Moore. He was a loving father, son, brother, and friend. Eric was raised in Independence, MO and was a 1978 graduate of William Chrisman High School. Eric was President of his class and participated in swimming, baseball and choir. Although he had many jobs over the years we could mention, his favorite “job” was being a father to his two beautiful daughters. They were his world and he was theirs. Eric loved to be outdoors. He enjoyed barbecuing, boating, fishing, playing pool, and most of all riding his motorcycle!
