Rev. Donald Chapman Moore entered the gates of Heaven on October 9, 2018. He passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus at 5:05 P.M. with his son Ben and wife Judith by his side.
Don was born in Amity, Arkansas on June 26, 1929 at his mother’s family home. He was the 4th of six children and the oldest son born to Rev. Eugene W. and Mary Claudeen Oden Moore.
He and his wife, Judy, moved to Nampa in 2001 to be near son Ben and wife, Lynette. Don and Judy became known as Papa and Baba to grandson Benny and granddaughter Jordan.
Don suffered with heart disease even after open heart surgery in 2014, complications resulting from alzheimers and became functionally blind during the last two years which for him, who was a scholar, not being able to read anymore was truly painful.
His last days were spent in the care of Patty Shaver in her Certified Family Home in south Nampa where he was one of two patients. Patty was a gift from the Lord to him and to our family. She loved him and treated him with such kindness and honor.
Don is preceded in death by his parents, Eugene W. and Mary Claudeen Moore, sister twins Decima Jean Hostutler and Melva Deen Beeman, brothers Maurice Moore and Dr. Darrell Moore, son Rolf and other relatives. He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Judith Moore, son Benjamin E Moore, (Lynette); daughters Rhonda Williams & Wendy Delagarza; sister Donna Casey (Ralph); grandsons Jackson & James Delagarza, Benny Moore, Donald Avery, Robert John Williams; granddaughters Racheal Avery Martin & Jordan Moore, numerous nieces & nephews and 4 great grandchildren.
