Michael William Moore

Michael William Moore passed away unexpectedly on February 9, 2024, in Glendale, Arizona. He was born on April 28,1950, to John and Anne Moore. He attended college at NAU and loved Flagstaff, Arizona. Michael owned a popular restaurant in Phoenix where he met his wife, Rosemary. They married on November 16, 1985.

Michael was a kind man with a big heart and a quick wit. He was an avid reader with extensive knowledge of history, politics, and sports. He loved family and friends, food, music, nature, animals (especially his dogs), sports, cooking, and wearing Hawaiian shirts. Michael also loved entertaining, especially at Christmas, for Super Bowl, and for St. Patrick’s Day. He loved traveling, especially to Greece, France, Italy, and Ireland where he immersed himself in the food, culture, and the people he met. He was also very patriotic. His spirit will live forever in our hearts.

Michael is predeceased by his father John, and is survived by his wife Rosemary, his mother Anne, sister Royce Moore Bourassa, brother John O. Moore, nieces Amy, Ashley, and Quinne, nephews Sean and Jason, and their families – all whom he loved dearly.
