James Thomas Moore

James T. Moore, of Austin, TX, passed away peacefully on January 22, 2024, at the age of 55. He was the beloved husband of Nadira Hussain and dear father of Natalie and Liam. Cherished son of Margaret Moohan, of New Fairfield, CT and the late Leonard Moore. He was the youngest brother of Shawn Moore and his wife Charlene, of Weymouth, MA, Patricia Moore, of Mt Kisco, NY, Leonard Moore, Jr. and his wife Lisa, of Yorktown, NY, Floyd Moore and his wife Natassia, of New Fairfield, CT and Mary Moore of New Fairfield, CT.

He will be sorely missed by his many nieces and nephews.

James was born in Valhalla, NY on October 21, 1968, with a congenital heart defect and was not expected to live. Against the odds, he bravely survived two experimental open-heart surgeries at 5 and 12 years old, grew up in Chappaqua, NY and graduated from Horace Greeley High School. He earned a degree in music production and a CAD certificate. He lived in Connecticut, Texas and Arizona for a time, always working when he could. In 2010, he married Nadira in Las Vegas and found total joy in being a father to Liam and his stepdaughter, Natalie. Along with Nadira and his children, James had an undying love for heavy metal music and his lifetime best friends, Doug, Chris, Bart and Seth. Recently, he accomplished his dream and moved his family to Texas even as his health was failing. As was his wish, he will be laid to rest in Texas with his cowboy boots, forever a Texan.
