Hubert A. "Blue" Moore

Hubert A. “Blue” Moore, a man whose life was painted with vibrant strokes of love, laughter, and creativity, left us with a masterpiece of memories on November 13, 2024. Born on March 15, 1958, to Hubert and Annie Moore, Blue was a beacon of resilience and warmth, known by many for his boundless kindness and colorful spirit. He graduated from Allendale-Fairfax Senior High and later attended Denmark Technical College. "Blue" was a light to everyone who crossed his path.

Blue displayed dedication and discipline in his service in the United States Navy. These traits became pillars of his life’s work. His time in the Navy served as a foundation for the strong character and dedication that shaped his life. After returning to Allendale, South Carolina from Jamaica Queens, NY he worked as a technician at Scotsman and, he soon found a new home in Asheville, North Carolina. He retired from Nypro (now Jabil, Inc.) after 17 years.

Blue was preceded in death by his parents, Hubert A. Moore and Annie L. Moore, siblings Von E. Durham and Elizabeth “Princess” Moore, each of whom he treasured deeply.

Blue’s true masterpiece was his family which he cherished above all, and he leaves behind a loving family to carry forward his memory. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Annette Pulley-Moore of Swannanoa, NC, his beloved daughter, Taysha Moore of Charlotte, NC; son, DeVonte (DeOnna) Pulley of Winston-Salem, NC, and the children he nurtured with love: Andre Moore of East Flat Rock, NC; Angela Moore of Asheville, NC; Von (Cord) Moore of Columbia, SC; and Isaac Moore of Columbia, SC; Rejoyse Burton; his supportive brother and sister, Carnell Moore and Yesma Patterson, and good friend Dave Johnson.

Grandchild Nigel Turner of Charlotte, NC; great nieces and nephews, Keshawna Moore of Durham, NC; Ke'Asia Moore of Asheville, NC; Aron Moore and Amiya Moore both of Columbia, SC; Grayson Moore of Orlando, FL and Josiah Burton of Philadelphia, PA along with a host of nieces, nephews, loving cousins, and friends who will forever carry his love in their hearts.
