Michael Moore Obituary
It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that we announce the sudden and unexpected death of our father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, Michael Joseph Moore, who passed away on December 24th, 2024.
Born in Sydney Mines on December 1st, 1945, to the late Stanley Moore Sr. and Rodena Moore (MacMullin), he quietly touched the hearts of the many people whose paths he crossed. He was a quiet and gentle soul, yet his independence and strength, a testament to his resilience, were always evident.
He was a proud, lifelong underground coal miner who retired from the DEVCO Prince Colliery after 31 years in the mining industry. He enjoyed many hobbies over the years, such as boating, fishing, gardening, and ATVs, but his primary passions were exercising and spending time with friends and family at his cottage in Kempt Head. He found solace in the beautiful views of the Bras D'Or Lake; it truly was his paradise, a testament to his deep love for nature that he shared with all of us.
He was predeceased by his partner Geralyn, father Stan (Sammy), mother Rodena, his son Stan, brothers Stanley (Betty), John (Anne), nephew James and brother-in-law Victor Braden. Left to mourn are his sons, Greg (Danielle), Troy, Steven, and Michael; sisters Rodina Braden (Mike) and Mary Ross (Donald). Brothers Hughie (Bernice) and Bernie (Charlene), stepchildren from former partner Theresa Turbide, Todd, Kevin (Carm), Ronnie (Marie) & Michelle Turbide, granddaughters Ceili & Tara Moore, Hannah Turbide, numerous nieces, nephews, and dear friends Cathy Floerke and Roland Skinner. His love for his family was unwavering, and his warmth and affection will be deeply missed.
