Warren Hamilton Moore, M.D.

Warren Hamilton Moore, MD, age 74, passed away peacefully on November 20, 2024. Dr. Moore was born in 1950 in Charlotte, NC, the son of James Warren and Elizabeth Faust Moore. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Jo Beth Moore of Sugar Land, whom he met in high school. He is also survived by daughter Kathryn Flint (Justin) of Missouri City; son Robert Warren Moore (Meredith) of Austin; grandchildren William Warren Moore and A. M. Flint; sister Susan Brown of Crawford, GA; sister Elizabeth Theiling (Charles) of Matthews, NC; aunt Celeste Lawrence of Jackson, GA; brother- and sister-in-law Ernest and Julie Bussells of Ballentine, SC; as well as 7 nieces and nephews and many cousins.

Dr. Moore graduated from East Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte and received BA and MD degrees from UNC-Chapel Hill. He then trained in internal and nuclear medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina and Baylor College of Medicine. He was a faculty member of Baylor College of Medicine and served as Chief of the Nuclear Medicine Service at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital/Texas Heart Institute for over 20 years. He was active in medical organizations including the Society of Nuclear Medicine and served as president of the American College of Nuclear Physicians in 2004-5. Warren possessed a keen intelligence and insight and will be remembered by many as an outstanding educator at Baylor College of Medicine and as an expert in the field of Nuclear Medicine. Those who knew him personally will remember his tireless work ethic and deep commitment to integrity. He found teaching residents the most fulfilling aspect of his professional work, and also enjoyed learning about other places and cultures through students and colleagues from around the world.

Warren was a life-long learner, especially enjoying American history and geography. During his life, he amassed a collection of National Geographic issues that spanned nearly a century. Undoubtedly, he had read each one. He enjoyed traveling, and traveling with him was like bringing your own tour guide. He also loved soccer (serving as a referee until age 68) and was a life-long UNC Tar Heel fan. Researching subjects from history to zoology to theology was a constant hobby, and he would share his insights in the Barnabas Sunday School class as an active participant and occasional lesson leader. Additionally, he was a cutthroat board game strategist, possessed a boyish sense of mischief and a very dry sense of humor, and above all, was dedicated to his family. He enjoyed visiting with extended family at reunions and events.

Warren was such an introvert that those he enjoyed spending time with knew that was something very special. He never had to state his affections for them to be felt with a sincere warmth. He walked a fine line between caring deeply about the wellbeing of his children and giving them the space to find their own way. He was a loyal and devoted husband to Jo Beth for 50 years, and their teamwork, stability, and friendship were an inspiration to their children.

His wife, children, grandchildren, and sisters surrounded him in his final days, and he was at peace with a life well-lived. His struggle with diabetes, heart disease, and kidney failure has now ended.

A Memorial Service and Celebration of Life will be held at 10:00 am on Friday, December 6, 2024 at Christ United Methodist Church, Sugar Land (3300 Austin Parkway, Sugar Land, Texas 77479). In lieu of flowers, Warren requested that any memorial gifts be directed to the Texas Heart Institute,Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation , or the charity of one’s choice.
