John Michael "Mike" Moore Jr. passed away August 18, 2021 at his home in Blanco, TX.  He was born September 1, 1956 in Bremerhaven, Germany to John Michael Moore and Rose Ester Brooks.

Mike was preceded in death by his father, John Michael Moore and his grandparents, Mariano and Aurora Soto.  He is survived by his mother and step-father Don and Rose Brooks, his sister and brother-in law, Lorene and Richard Bothe; his daughter and son-in law Natalie and Camden Robinson, his son and fiancé Ryan Moore and Marisa Plescia, his step-son and wife Thomas and Marcia Blanquez; the mother of his children Maria Gentile and his loving grandsons Hayden and Tag Robinson. He is also survived by his 2 nephews, Zach Arrambide and Trey Bothe. As well as, a host of other loving relatives and dear friends.

Mike was a loving father and grandfather who never missed a birthday or holiday. His love for sports was undeniable. In his youth, you could find him on the field as he was an incredible baseball player. He was a devoted fan to his beloved Dallas Cowboys, Boston Red Sox, Texas Longhorns, Boston Bruins, San Antonio Spurs and the list goes on. He was not only a player and a fan of the game, but he was also a sportswriter for the San Antonio Express News covering games across the city. He later retired from a successful career as a project manager for various organizations throughout the country.

A service for a Blessing of the Ashes will be held Thursday, September 16, 2021 from 2:00 – 3:00 PM at Our Lady of Grace Church followed by a Celebration of Life Reception at 3:30 PM at Paesanos 1604.

"Dad, If I could have given you one thing in life, I would have given you the ability to see yourself through my eyes. Only then would you have realized how truly special you are to me. I am so lucky to have had you as my Dad."

-Your Daughter, Natalie

In Mike's memory, in lieu of flowers, we ask that you please consider donating to the San Antonio Sports Foundation. Their vision, mission and values resonate deeply with the kind of legacy Mike advocated. The work this foundation is doing in the community is exactly the kind of imprint he would want to have on the lives of many. His love for sports, the positive impact it had on him from a very young age along with the joy it brought to his life is something that we hope many more children and their families can experience through the power of sports.
