Altherman

Moore

ALTHERMAN MOORE began his journey on February 1, 1952, in Amory, Mississippi. Born to the late Robert "Buddy" Moore and the late Elise McIntosh, everyone knew him simply as "Al."

As a child, he loved his parents but spent most of his time with his grandparents, John and Melvoria McIntosh and Lyles and Minnie Moore. He attended school in Amory where he met lifelong friends. At an early age, he accepted Christ as his personal Savior and joined Union Grove Methodist Church, where he was a member until his departure. His commitment to the church was evident throughout his life.

On January 1, 1994, Al married his companion, Judy Caruthers. Together they built a life of love and shared eight children.

He traveled near and far for over 50 years as an over-the-road truck driver. As he drove trucks, he was loved by many. He leaves behind the handle of "Blackjack" that so many had grown to know and love.

He had a deep love for sports and cars, notably playing semi-pro baseball for "The Wren Happy Kids" and supporting his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers. He also enjoyed spending time in his shops rubbing and cleaning his beloved vehicles.

Al was known in the community for being very outgoing and full of spirit. His life was a celebration of connections and his bond with his family was as strong as it was cherished. He loved his family deeply and enjoyed his friends. He was a part of all special occasions for his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. He could talk to anyone and make them feel as if they both walked the same path of life, and he understood every step traveled. He had a way of making people feel comfortable and less of a stranger and more of an old friend. He would take his afternoon strolls just to go by and talk with everyone in the community.

As we remember Al, we celebrate the joy he brought into our lives and the many ways he uplifted us all. His spirit will live on in the countless memories he created and the love he shared freely. Though we mourn his loss, we find solace in knowing that his legacy of unshakeable commitment to his faith, his joy and his love will continue to inspire us all. Al's departure leaves a void that can never be filled, but his spirit will forever remain a guiding light in our hearts. We take comfort in knowing that he lived his life fully, loved deeply and touched the lives of so many.

On Tuesday, January 27, 2026, God, in his infinite wisdom, wrapped his arms around Al and called him home to eternal rest. He leaves behind a legacy of boundless love.

Al leaves to cherish his memories; his wife, Judy Moore of Wren, Mississippi; daughters, Lisa T. Moore of Amory, Mississippi, LaTasha Hogan-Mosely of Shannon, Mississippi, Summer Caruthers, and Cortney (Kelvin) Moore both of Wren, Mississippi; sons, Rodney (LaShae) Hogan of Wren, Mississippi, Kelvin Moore of Amory, Mississippi, Antwan Moore of Nashville, Tennessee, and Jarvis (Raven) Fields of Tupelo, Mississippi; siblings, Barbara (Andrew) Pruitte of Jackson, Tennessee, Alisa (Roosevelt) Powell of Atlanta, Georgia, Bernard (Barbara) Lloyd of Dallas, Texas, Daryl (Shelia) Lloyd of Orlando, Florida, and Anthony (Carla) Lloyd of Chicago, Illinois, and a host of grandkids, great-grandkids, nieces, and nephews. He also leaves behind a special friend, Floyd Pierce.

He was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents, his brother, Aljernon Lloyd, Jr., and grandson, Evan Moore. Rest in peace, Altherman. Your vibrant spirit will be dearly missed, but your memory will forever be cherished and celebrated by all who had the privilege of knowing you.
