Thomas M. Moore

Thomas Myles Moore, known affectionately as Tom to his friends and family, passed away peacefully on October 15, 2025, at the age of 65. Born on April 20, 1960, in Red Bank, Tom was a son of the late James and Aileen Moore. He spent the majority of his life in Hazlet, where he was a respected member of the community and a father, brother, and uncle.

Tom's life was marked by his dedication to his family business, A & J Traders, which he joined at the tender age of 17. With a natural flair for business and a commitment to customer service, he eventually took over the company, maintaining its reputation as the go-to window store on 36. His work ethic and leadership helped the business thrive, and he was well-known in the area for his integrity and kindness.

Beyond his professional life, Tom was an avid sports enthusiast. His passion for baseball was unparalleled, and he was a talented pitcher who played for several area teams throughout the years. His love for the game was only matched by his loyalty to the NY Mets and the Miami Dolphins, teams he supported with vigor and enthusiasm.

Tom was often described as handy. There was no task too big or too small that he wouldn't tackle, always willing to lend a helping hand to friends, family, and neighbors in need. His kindness extended beyond his immediate circle, touching the lives of many in the community.

He is survived by his two sons. Tom's legacy will also live on through his brother, Joseph Moore, and sister-in-law, Bernadette, as well as his cherished nieces and nephews. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him, including his extended family and a multitude of friends.

Tom was predeceased by his sister, Margaret "Peggy" Temple, and his brothers, James, Jr., Michael, and George. His departure leaves a void in the hearts of those who loved him, but they take comfort in knowing that he is now reunited with his beloved siblings.

A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered. Tom Moore will be deeply missed, yet his spirit will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have known him. His memory will be cherished, and his stories will be told for generations to come, ensuring that his legacy of kindness, hard work, and community spirit endures.
