Doug Moore

Doug Moore, 79, moved to his heavenly home March 7, 2024, after a two-year battle with lymphoma. Doug was born in Albuquerque, NM, December 18, 1944, where he lived through the third grade. The family moved to Plano where Doug became an enthusiastic Boy Scout. He achieved the rank of Eagle Scout and was inducted into the Order of the Arrow. The family settled in Lubbock Doug's junior year in high school. He graduated from Monterey High School in 1962. After earning an accounting degree from Texas Tech, Doug started his 40 year public accounting career at Main- Lafrance in Lubbock. When he earned his CPA designation he joined the firm of Mason, Nickels and Warner where he became partner. Doug met Susie Perkins Moore in 1971 in Lubbock. They married in July of 1972. Their 50th and 51st anniversaries were both celebrated while he was in cancer treatment at MD Anderson in Houston. Deciding to leave public accounting, Doug became Director of Accounting at Texas Tech Health Sciences Center. Later, as a retirement "experiment" Doug opened the Consignment Gallery furniture and accessory store which he owned and operated for 10 years. Though Doug has always been "a good man", it wasn't until he was 29 that he became a child of God by confessing that Christ alone and HIS righteousness are what will bring him into the family of God. "He has put eternity in his heart" Ecc. 3: 11. He was baptized by Bro. Stan Blevins at Oakwood Baptist Church. Throughout Doug's life, he grew and matured as a devout Christian, realizing when he was saved, God had given him the greatest gifts possible, forgiveness and the promise of everlasting life, where he thrives now, cancer-free. Doug NEVER wanted it to be about him-- he ALWAYS wanted it to be about Christ alone-- and OTHERS. He knew "For grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast" Eph. 2:8-10. He was a godly man, totally unselfish and humble. His church life and church family were everything to Doug. He served as deacon at Oakwood Baptist Church 17 years, an elder at Cornerstone Bible church for 20 years and more recently, chairman of the Leadership Team at Lakeridge Baptist church. He served as a state director of Child Evangelism Fellowship until his death. Doug is survived by his wife, Susie, two beloved cousins Tom and Elizabeth Jensen, his brother-in-law and sister- in- law, Chuck and Nancy Perkins of Fargo, N.D., 2 nieces and 3 nephews. Memorial service will be at 4 pm, Tuesday, March 19, 2024 at Lakeridge Baptist Church, 4601 82nd Street. Charitable donations may be made to Child Evangelism Fellowship of West Texas, P.O.Box 3811, Wichita Falls, Tx, 76301.
