Trent White Moore, Sr., 68, of Jumpertown passed away on Sunday, July 23, 2023 at his home. He is finally at peace after a year and a half battle with lung cancer. His victory was won on the Lord’s Day. He was a member of the Jumpertown Methodist Church.
Trent’s life revolved around his family and the communities that he served diligently. He and his wife were proud owners of Moore’s Restaurant for 32 years. Through this business, Trent was able to impact the lives of a countless number of people. He never met a stranger, and his good-hearted nature allowed him to serve whoever walked through the doors. He treated his employees with respect and loved them like his own family.
Trent’s devotion to service was not only limited to his business. He served the Town of Jumpertown as an Alderman, Interim Mayor, and Elected Mayor. He also served Prentiss County as an Interim and Elected Justice Court Judge with patience, fairness, and equality.
In his off time, Trent enjoyed a few hobbies and past-times of his own. He had an avid interest in horses, which led him to train and care for several throughout his life. Also, he enjoyed attending horse races and quail hunting while visiting his family in Oklahoma. Western shows were his favorite source of TV entertainment. Trent loved spending time with his family and having a good laugh with them all, especially all of the kids.
