Born on May 21, 1945, in Greenville, Mississippi, Dade lived a full and meaningful life devoted to faith, family, and community.
A graduate of St. Joseph’s High School in Greenville in 1963, Dade was a proud three-year letterman and lifelong sports enthusiast. He was a faithful member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, where his values of service, kindness, and dedication were deeply rooted.
He married the love of his life, Mary Catherine Moore, and together they celebrated 61 years of marriage, creating a strong foundation for the family they cherished. He was preceded in death by his parents, Louis and Frances Moore.
He is survived by his wife, Mary Catherine Moore; his sisters, Shirley Rowe of Hamilton, MT, and Marriah Fowler of England, AR; his children, Kelley Moore Heigle (Todd) of Fitler, MS, Dade Louis Moore (Laura) of Cleveland, TX, and Sheri Moore Anders (Ashley) of Valdosta, GA; grandchildren, Jennifer Heigle Johnson (Michael) of Louise, MS, Elizabeth Heigle Kent (Jeremy) of Brandon, MS, Lauren Heigle Fillmore (Chad) of Fort Worth, TX, Dade Patrick Moore of Cleveland, TX, Mary Alex Anders of Woodstock, GA, and Cade and Camden Anders of Valdosta, GA; and his great-grandchild, Michael Todd Johnson.
A skilled businessman, Dade owned and operated Moore Sheet Metal for many years. Outside of work, he was a devoted coach to his children and later to his grandchildren, investing countless hours in softball and youth sports programs. His influence extended beyond his own family—he inspired many young athletes, some of whom went on to play collegiate sports and coach future generations.
In retirement, Dade and Mary Catherine moved to South Georgia, where he worked for nine years at Facilko in Tifton, GA. No matter where he lived, Dade could be found on the sidelines supporting his grandchildren. Whether it was football, basketball, track, swimming, or softball—he was their biggest fan, cheering them on with pride and unwavering love.
Dade will be remembered for his vibrant personality, warm heart, fierce loyalty, and the enduring legacy he leaves behind in his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild. He made a difference in every life he touched and will be dearly missed.
Pallbearers will be Doug Jarnagin, William Upchurch, Matt Plant, Cade Anders, Dade Patrick Moore, Michael Casavechia, and Jim Sneiderman.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Dade’s memory to a youth sports organization, a local athletic program of your choice, or Pancreatic Cancer Research.
