William (Bill) Rollie Moore passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on January 12, 2022, of ALS. He was born in Winchester, Indiana on May 14, 1935, to Rollie and Veletta Farmer Moore. In his early 20’s, he moved to Baytown, Texas. From that time, he was a Texan through and through.
Bill joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints when he was 56 years old. He married Deanna Wallin Richards on March 25, 1992, and they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on August 24, 1993. He was a devoted and faithful member, serving in the Primary, Sunday School, Elders Quorum, High Priest Quorum, Asst. Stake Clerk and as a faithful Home Teacher. He was the happiest when serving others.
He had many and varied jobs until he started working at Enterprise Products, a petrochemical plant where he worked for 30 years until his retirement.
He was an avid ‘coon hunter for many years. He took up bowling and motorcycling after retirement. He and his wife went on many motorcycle trips throughout the United States. He was a great bowler, winning many awards and tournaments. He took up golfing at age 80 and got a hole-in-one the first year he golfed. He was known for his great sense of humor and his friendliness. Anyone he met, became his immediate friend. However, he would tell you that his best friends were his family. He loved and was loved by them all.
He is survived by his wife, Deanna, a son Jeff (Patti), daughters Reasa Pouland and Tracey (Roland) Perales. He is also survived by a stepson Jeff and stepdaughter, Michelle (Brent) Todd, as well as 11 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, 3 greet great grandchildren and a sister, Arlene (Albert) Cole. He was preceded in death by his parents.

I’m sorry that Bill has left you. We all loved him like a brother and will miss him. We love you Deanna.
We're going to miss you, Bill. We'll take care of Deanna for you. Love you
Rest in Peace Uncle Bill, I love you and you will be missed greatly !
Deanna and family:
We cherished our friendship with you and Bill, we have such fond memories traveling to Bowling tournaments with you guys over the years. We would like to be with you at this time but due to health we just cannot. We love you and just know we are lifting you up in prayer. ❤️🙏💕
Dear Deanna,
At least the sun is shining for you today as you gather with the family for Bill's funeral.
You may have seen the others who have sent condolences. (MelRae & David Brown,
Norene & Sherman Larson) and others I talked with are thinking of you, too.
Thanks for taking good care of Bill and sharing his life story. Love, Rosalie
Dear Deanna,
We are so sorry for your loss. Gary and I loved Bill so much. We have many wonderful memories of our motorcycle trips with you. Spending time with you both was always such fun. Bill will be greatly missed. The video is beautiful! Love the pictures of the two of you in your square dance outfits. I saw the picture of Bill and Gary in their Chapter C shirts. I think that was taken at Old Baylor Park when we were on a Chapter C Bluebonnet ride. The guys were pointing out the one wildflower we found at the park. Such sweet memories.
We love you!
Connie and Gary
Tracey and family,
We are praying for God’s peace to comfort you all during this time.
Papaw, you were such an inspiration! You taught me many things but especially how to live life to its fullest. We will all miss you
Immensely.
Love Brittney and family.
Papaw Bill 💙💙 I have always deeply admired the way he TRULY loved living life and seemed to *really* get the gift that it is. Never taking a second for granted! I always felt & still feel very much like him in that way and am grateful to have a grandfather like him. Time with him is one of my earliest memories and I always felt so loved and that he very much really enjoyed being our Papaw! And I was so glad he was too!! 🙏🏼♥️
I am sending the hugest amount of love and prayers to all of the people who loved him and who’s lives he touched whether he was square dancing, flying a plane, coon hunting, motorcycle riding, bowling, golfing, zip lining, traveling and taking in beautiful sights with his wife, Mamaw Deanna, or home watching basketball with her. I always have loved how much they loved one another and how anyone within 3 feet could tell it too!
Sending extra hugs, strength, love, and prayers to his wife and his kids…💘💘💘💘
I love you, Papaw.. for always & longer. 💙💙
Sending prayers and condolences for the loss you all are feeling. Loss is never easy, but hopefully in this time you can all remember the amazing happy moments and full life that was lived. I know he touched so many lives as a father, grandfather, husband, friend, and inspired so many to strive to live their life to the fullest as he did. I'm sure the stories and memories are endless and carried in everyone's hearts.
Sincerely,
Eric Kebodeaux
Papaw was a good man and I remember our time spent together when I was a child fondly. My first hunting trip, first time in an airplane and many other memories will forever be remembered. He was greatly loved and although we did not see each other much in later years, he will still be missed.
Of course losing him is tough for those left behind. We mourn not for those who have moved on, rather for those of us awaiting the day we all will be reunited.
John 14:27 says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” I hope the peace of God will rest on those mourning, his wife and partner Deanna, and his children in particular.
Remember 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 which says, “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.”
Also in Romans 8:38-39 “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
He is not gone, simply I apart from us for a season. Be strong and let us honor his memory. Be grateful that he had a long, happy life and a loving family there with him when it was his appointed time to move on.
We love y’all!
Craig Moore and Family

My condolences. Having been there to see Bill's growth when he joined the Church in the early 90's, I knew him to be a kind and dedicated man. I know everyone will miss him, but we will all meet again.
So grateful to you Bill for being such a great companion to my mom, a grandfather to my kids, and friend to me. We are eternally grateful for your kindness and patience. None of us may ever bowl a perfect game, shoot a hole in one, or drive a Harley across the country, but you showed all of us how to live this life. Love you.
