Thomas was the beloved son of Thomas Moore and Desiree Richardson, and a cherished brother to Alexandria Moore. He brought immeasurable joy and warmth to his entire family, including his grandfather Richard Richardson, grandmother Gloria Richardson, uncle Richard Richardson, aunt Alaina Richardson, and others whose lives he deeply impacted, such as his extended family Suzanne, Stephanie, and Amber.

Thomas attended South Johnson Elementary School. Thomas was proud to be a part of Cub Scout Pack 444 of Laurinburg. He was recently promoted to Webelos, demonstrating his sense of responsibility and commitment to the group. He especially loved camping, participating in the Pinewood Derby, and spending time with his scouting peers. These experiences were enriched by sharing them with his sister during trips to various events. Thomas’s passion for scouting was matched by his love of play—he enjoyed time on his tablet and treasured every opportunity to explore the outdoors.

Deeply devoted to his family, Thomas was especially caring towards his mother. His compassionate nature and joyful demeanor left a lasting impression on all those who knew him, both at home, school and cub scouts.
