Wayne Moore

Spencer “Wayne” Moore, 62-years-old, passed away on February 20, 2021, after a long battle with cancer. He was at home when he died, surrounded by his wife, parents, son, and other family. Wayne was born in Norfolk, Virginia, on June 4, 1958. Wayne was dedicated to his work, which spanned numerous industries and occupations, and usually involved fixing things that needed fixing, be it cars, houses, boats and even people. He worked at Performance Water Company and built water rooms for dialysis clinics. Later on, he worked as a bio med tech for dialysis companies like DaVita, DCA, DSI and US Renal Care, traveling to different states to maintain water rooms and dialysis machines. Wayne was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2006, which later progressed throughout his body to his kidneys, lungs, and bones. But, Wayne kept working throughout his battle with cancer and dialysis, all the way to the very end. Wayne married Jimmel on April 16, 2012, and they built a life together in Queenstown, Maryland, before relocating to Delaware for work. Wayne loved tools and cars, and for him, being on his boat was heaven on earth. When he wasn't working or undergoing treatment, he spent most of his time fishing, traveling, and hiking. He was also a patient advocate for Cancer Treatment Centers of America. His fellow patients admired him for his positive attitude. He tried to inspire them, telling them all that they could beat cancer! During a brief respite from his treatments, Wayne traveled to the Philippines, where he hoped to retire. In his later years, when cancer and dialysis robbed him of his strength and stamina, it also gave him a softness that we treasured. He taught us kindness, patience and to be strong. He always said, "Life is too short to be unhappy." Wayne was preceded in death by his beloved brother, Glen. Wayne is survived by his spouse, Jimmel Rueda-Moore; his parents, Lewis and Carole; son, Carl and daughter-in-law, Sarah and son, Chad and daughter-in-law, Jessica; four grandchildren, Peyton, Lilli, Emmett and Eleanor; brother, Ray; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Wayne will be remembered for his teasing jokes, his wildly entertaining stories, his unfailing work ethic, his generous smile, and his willingness to help others. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who knew him.
