Garry Wilson Moore passed away on December 23, 2025, in Topeka, Kansas, at the age of 62. Born on September 27, 1963, in Charleston, South Carolina, he lived a life shaped by quiet strength, steady resilience, and a deep devotion to the people he loved.
A graduate of Highland Park High School, Garry carried the values of hard work and perseverance with him throughout his life. His calm presence and unwavering support became a source of comfort and stability for everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Garry was a proud and caring father to his three children—Joshua Moore, Taylor Moore, and Brandee Gibson—and he found immense joy in being a grandfather to seven grandchildren, whose laughter and energy brightened his later years. He is survived by his four siblings—Charley Moore, Carol Moore, Joyce Schuman, and Katie Tidwell. His extended family of nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends will miss him deeply.
Garry found simple happiness in working on jigsaw puzzles, a hobby that reflected his patient and thoughtful nature. He also loved tinkering with anything that needed fixing. Known for his natural skill as a handyman, he could repair just about anything, and he took pride in helping others with his practical know‑how and steady hands.
He was preceded in death by his father, Dale Moore, and his mother, Hisako Fujiwara-Moore.
His spirit lives on in the family he loved and the lives he quietly shaped. May his memory remain a source of comfort and strength.
A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
What can I say about the man that gave me the greatest gift of all- my two sons. I am proud to say that Garry and I were able to remain good friends til the end, the end he promised me would be a long time from now however, that just was not the case. I have no regrets as he damn well knows that when my time comes, he better hide because I will be kicking his ass for leaving so soon. I pray he is no longer in pain and I'm happy to say that we were able to say what needed to be said to each other and I thanked him for remaining a constant in not only our sons lives by my family and mine enjoying everyday situations as they came. I will miss seeing him walking around my yard picking up the trash, limbs, etc... I will miss venting as I so often needed to do...he told me it was the least he could do after all we went through, he was my sounding board - he was my friend that I will miss until my end. Much love to you, may you rest in peach (if that is possible, i mean, afterall, your with my brothe hee heer)Keep an eye on our boys and help guide them and protect them, watch over our grandkids and show them signs that grandpa is near. You will be missed, Much love my friend
