Remembering Philip Moore
September 27, 1976 – June 27, 2025

Philip Moore passed away at home on June 27, 2025—right where he was happiest: next to his wife, Hollie. If you knew Phil, you heard him before you saw him. His loud laugh and even louder voice had a way of filling every room, even though he always claimed to be a homebody. Somehow, he managed to be both: totally content staying in, yet one of the most outgoing, people-loving guys you could ever meet.

Phil had a dry, clever sense of humor that snuck up on you in the best way. He could take the most random story from his childhood and have you in tears from laughing. He was funny without trying to be, which made it all the better.

He loved being a recruiter—it wasn’t just a job to him. Helping people find their next step in life was something he truly cared about. His coworkers weren’t just coworkers; they were some of his favorite people, and they loved him right back.

At home, Phil was in his element: watching cooking shows and quirky movies with Hollie, grilling up something new in the backyard, and convincing his step kids, Madi and Lincoln, to try “just one bite” (even if he knew it was a long shot). He loved having his son Mason over to dig into the strangest, most obscure movies they could find—bonus points if it was something nobody else had ever heard of. Late nights on the PS5 with his friends were sacred time. And of course, scary movies with Hollie were a regular thing.

Phil just had a way of making people feel comfortable, seen, and genuinely cared for. He didn’t need a crowd to be the life of the party—he was the party, even if it was just movie night on the couch. He was loud, loving, loyal, and one of a kind.

He leaves behind Hollie, his best friend and partner in everything; his son Mason; step kids Madi and Lincoln. In true Phil fashion, there won’t be a formal service—just the people he loved, remembering him in the way he would’ve wanted. So grill something good, watch a weird movie, or call someone just to check in.

 

He wouldn’t have wanted a big fuss. He just wanted everyone to be together, laugh a little, and not take life too seriously.
