James "Jim" Lowell Moore, 63, of Roberts, passed away Wednesday, July 28, 2010, at his home, after a courageous battle with cancer.
He was born April 28, 1947, in Idaho Falls, to Lowell Clark Moore and Geraldine Wagner Moore. He attended school in Roberts and graduated from Roberts High School; he continued his education at the University of Idaho. He served in the Vietnam War and received the Purple Heart.
He married Jeannine Jackson in 1968; together they had two children, Danielle and Derek. They later divorced. In January 1989, he married Carolyn Caverhill. They moved to Salmon and then later returned to Roberts.
Jim worked for Idaho Fish and Game and, in his father's later years, Jim also took care of the family farm and associated businesses. While employed with Idaho Fish and Game, he made many dear friends and enjoyed their companionship, both at work and personally. He retired from the department in April of this year with 24 years of service. Jim's kind heart and thoughtfulness will be greatly missed.
He is survived by his wife, Carolyn of Roberts; his daughter, Danielle Weekes of Ririe; stepchildren, Brandy Hall of Idaho Falls, Gary (Peggy) Johnson of Ririe and Johnny Johnson of Boise; siblings, Pam (Ned) Sauer of Rigby and Russell (Pat) Moore of Idaho Falls; an uncle, Dean Moore of Irrigon, Ore.; and grandchildren, Jesse and Keri Weekes and Kyler Bryant.
