Russell was an individual in every sense of the word. Any one of us can be different like somebody else, but it takes a truly great person to be unique in their own way. His passing makes the world a much more mundane place.

I feel so fortunate to have been able to have Russell in my life, to have loved him, and to have been loved by him.
I still cannot put my emotions and thoughts into written words-
Thank you, Tom, Dot, and Jennifer for embracing me during this most difficult time in all of our lives. I will always love Russell deeply and will never forget the joy we shared.
Thank you Tom and Dot for having such a wonderful son. He ment the world to me.
My heart is with you all-

I met Russell at the Coffee Cartel in my neighborhood when he used to work there. What a sweetheart. I always enjoyed talking to him, and running into him after he left there. I remember him showing me pictures of his beloved cats. I was very sorry to learn of his passing in the newspaper and send you my sincerest sympathy for your loss.

Moore family, I'm so sorry about the loss of Russell, whom I remember as my roommate's sweet, kind, quiet and creative little brother so many years ago. Please accept my sympathy and know you are all in my prayers.

As I sit watching classically bad movies, I think of Russell the Unique; an appreciater of the offbeat. Russell the Wit; always the quickest with a worthy retort. Russell the Gracious; never a bad thing to say towards a soul unless deserving. Russell the Selfless & Kind & Giving; he once offered me his coat in a snowstorm (I'm a bit taller). Russell the Initiator; out of ideas for something to do, he jumps forward and makes the mundane fun, lively and memorable. Yes, memorable. No matter what word is yet created to describe him, he will always be remembered for these things and many more. He was the most genuinely unique person I have ever had the honour to call friend and brother.

Tom, Dot and Jennifer, you are in my prayers. Take comfort in knowing Russell touched countless lives in so many joyous ways. He will be missed and never forgotten.

Dearest Tom, Dot and Jennifer,

I am so sorry about the loss of your son and brother.

I did not know Russell. But I do remember him. My only memory of Russell is a childhood memory. My sister, Sydney, and I would come visit your family with Mom and Dad. As small children, Syd & I would play with Jennifer. Russell was just an infant. The one small memory I have of Russell after all these years, is his little nickname, "Fussy Russ".

Mom and Dad have spoken often of your family over the years and with such fondness. I'm sure that your memories of Russell will help your hearts to heal.

Much Love,
Deborah

I'll always remember Russell as my sweet (and tiny) cousin who was always in character. Russell was quiet and kind with a gentle spirit and a huge imagination. Russell didn't need anybody to entertain him, his world was a playground. Russell's death has taught me that it's okay to be different and to express myself differently. Because of Russell, I will strive to be more authentic and honest in my feelings and relationships. I love you Russell, and I'll never forget you.

Dot, Tom and Jenifer, Thank you so much for sharing with us on the phone last evening especially at this tragic time in your lives about Russell.

Our hearts go out to you and hardly a moment has passed since we discovered your email message that you are not in our thoughts. You will all certainly remain in our prayers that the the peace of Christ will be with you and His grace will sustain you now and in difficult days that will surely follow.

We know that the grief will not end quickly but we are told that the only thing good friends can do is to be available to listen, to share and to give you the most kind words they can think of to help you get through it as best you can. Of course, as you know, our words fail.

We have often reflected on our recent trip to Maggie Valley and the conversation we had in which you expressed with great enthusiasm the appreciation you had about Russell's recent decisions. We commented on several occasions about your joy and encouragement your expressed about his new venture. We detected in your voices the joy of parents as you discussed both him and Jenifer and their sweet relationship.

We know these memories will serve you well in perhaps some of your most fond memories of him as it will for us.

Thanks again for your willingness to share at a most difficult time with old friends. We wish there was a way we could take some of your pain.

Lots of love to you all,

Claibanne Williamson

My sincerest condolences go out to Tom, Dot, Jennifer and all of those who will mourn the loss of Russell. We have lost a great soul but were so blessed to have shared a portion of our lives with him. I know the special bond of family that exists for the Moores, as I was witness to it. Its gentlessnes is an example to all of us of the possibilities in life. I will miss Russell, but will always carry him in my heart.

Tom, Dot, Jennifer you know my prayers are with you. And what a special person Russell was to me. He always made me laugh and enjoyed the years of having him in youth. I also felt blessed to have had the opportunity to watch him grow and mature during his years in Little Rock before going to St. Louis. Russell was truly a joy. I learned much from each of the young men in my youth group, including Russell. His uniqueness never ceased to make me smile and warm my heart. He was truly a blessing to me and of God.

Love and condolences to you all.

Melissa and family -- Charles, Pierce, Louis

The Stockburger family considered Russell one of our own. And we were proud to claim him. He was such a sweet soul and so incredibly creative. We will all miss him so much. We were truly blessed to know him.

Our heart breaks at your loss and we are so sorry that you have lost some one so dear to you. I have been remembering the Saturday that Russell spent helping us at church, getting cookies baked for the youth group fund raiser the next day. Dick and I were Senior high counselors back then and always enjoyed spending time with Russell. He will be missed by all who knew him. Our prayers are with you.
