Ulysees Landon Moore Jr.

Sunrise: June 3, 1937 — Sunset: June 18, 2025

Ulysees Landon Moore Jr. was born on June 3, 1937, in Vilas, North Carolina, the ninth of twelve children born to Ulysees Moore Sr. and Addie Priscilla Moore.

He attended Gary District High School and went on to serve his country with honor in the United States Army from January 1958 to January 1960.

Ulysees was once united in marriage to India Faulks, and from that union came three beloved children: Albert L. Moore, Aaron G. Moore, and Tamara N. Moore. He never remarried, choosing instead to devote himself to the joys of life and his grandchildren.

A man of remarkable wit and warmth, Ulysees was known for his contagious laughter, vibrant storytelling, and brilliant mind for numbers. He had an uncanny ability to strike up conversation with anyone—transforming strangers into lifelong friends. His love for horse racing, particularly the Kentucky Derby, was a signature joy.

He is lovingly survived by his daughter, Tamra Moore, and his cherished grandchildren: Xavier Moore, Tiara Moore-DeVaughn, Armond Staten, and Malachi Moore.

Ulysees found special delight in his great-grandchildren, often speaking of them with pride and joy: Syriah Moore, Alexandria Moore, Jade Moore, Nevaeh Moore, Gabriella DeVaughn, Marcus DeVaughn III, Kaylee Marshall, and Alanna Staten.

He also leaves behind his devoted sister, Joann Moore, along with a host of nieces, nephews, and those who were blessed by his humor and presence.

Ulysees Landon Moore Jr. will be remembered as a man full of joy, wisdom, and generous spirit. His presence brightened every room he entered, and his legacy will live on in the laughter, love, and strength of those who carry his memory.
