David was married to his friend and soul mate Bettye and was .the proud

father of Brian David and Courtney Jacqlyn. He was a father figure to so

many other children. He loved everybody and never met a "stranger". He

encouraged the development of all individuals and positively influenced

the minds and hearts of everyone that he met. David loved being with his

family and was definitely the "driving force" of his immediate family as

well as several extended families that he readily made "HIS OWN".

David lives through those he left behind, his loving and devoted wife Bettye, his precious children, Brian and Courtney, scholarly godsons, Darren Littleton, Dwayne Yancey, Joseph Gordon, Rico Moorer, Emile Ennis Jr., Ayana Groves and Nikki Moorer, his cherished mother Catherine, his dedicated brothers Donald, Larry and Randall, his supportive in-laws, Richard and Isabel Manor, his treasured aunts, Cora Williams, Alene Gibson, Irene Allison and Eunice Morris, his baseball loving uncle Allen
Pryor, his dependable sister-in-laws, Minnie Mincey, Mary L. King, Mary
M. Moorer, Stella G. Moorer and Margie B. Manor, his fun loving brother-in-laws, Patrick Manor and William Mincey. David also has a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, his beloved Cascade family, Omega Psi Phi "Brothers", "Morehouse College Brothers", extended families, wonderful colleagues, neighbors and friends that will cherish his memory forever.

David only wanted to serve the Lord and today he is absent from the body but present with the Lord. He no longer resides at 785 James Madison Drive. David is an heir to the Lord's Promise. He is in his mansion in the sky. It is located at the corner of ''I HAVE FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, COMPLETED MY COURSE AND KEPT THE FAITH. TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS GAIN STREET". It is our charge to live our lives so that we may be neighbors on HIS STREET.

As children, our father always taught us the values of Jesus Christ, loving others unconditionally, as well as ourselves. He always taught us to forgive others no matter what they did and also the importance of prayer. He was more than our father; he was our confidant, friend, inspiration and motivator. As long as we both did our very best, he was truly satisfied. There was never a day when we did not feel his LOVE. He loved his family as well as others. He will always be remembered as a light in the community.
Even though we do not understand why he was taken away from us, we have comfort in knowing that he is now with his Heavenly Father, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and his Earthly Father, Granddaddy David.
In life we loved you dearly, In death, we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place
No one can ever fill.
With love from his children, Brian David Moorer and Courtney Jacqlyn Moorer
