Frank Edward Moore

Frank Edward Moore, age 70, of Wake Forest, has joined his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Tuesday, September 7, 2021 following declining health issues.  Frank was born in Durham, North Carolina on January 4, 1951 to Alonzo Madison Moore, Jr. and Beverly Steinert Moore.  He was the middle child of three siblings. 

Frank married Linda Lou Barren on November 24, 1969 and began their married life in Upstate New York. He obtained an accounting degree with honors and served in the Army National Guard.  Following his career in accounting, Frank, Linda, and children pursued a new life in North Carolina where he became a General Home Contractor and Realtor for many years.  You would always find Frank’s beloved dog, Billy, at the construction site or in the back of his pick-up truck.  Frank was also a member of the North Carolina Realtor Association.  In his later years, he transitioned his career from home building to Frank Moore Home Inspection business of Wake Forest. 

Frank had a passion for flying and obtained his private pilot’s license.  He had a hangar for many years at the Triangle North Executive Airport located in Franklin County, NC and often attended the annual fly-ins located in Oshkosh, WI.  He was a member of the Model Airplane Club and the Lions Club of Wake Forest.  Frank was active in his local church and had a heart for mission work and homeless ministry.  He used his skills as a pilot to deliver supplies and donations to Bahamas Habitat.
