Alan DeLynn Moore III
Alan DeLynn Moore III, 36 years old, passed away unexpectedly on July 27, 2026 in Houston, Texas. He was born on October 13, 1989 in Houston to Alan D. Moore, Jr. and Mila Johnson Moore.
Alan was an Eagle Scout from Troop 869 where he developed a strong interest in scuba diving and in later years received his commercial dive license. He earned a BS degree in Environmental Engineering from the United States Air Force Academy/Colorado Springs, CO in 2012 and received his MS in Systems Engineering from the University of Houston-Clear Lake in 2021. He was one course shy of receiving his PhD in Engineering from Texas A&M University/College Station, TX. He held the PE (professional engineer) license and was employed at TLC Engineering, Inc. in Houston where he enjoyed working and interacting with his colleagues.
Alan had many interests but a passion for working out, scuba diving, going to movies and gliding. He was a Lego builder enthusiast and owned elaborate models he built that he displayed in his home, along with an extensive collection of Pokemon cards. His love of reading grew from when he was a child that turned out to be an eclectic mix of sci fi, fantasy and philosophy. Alan loved hanging out with his friends and going on walks with his mom. He was gifted in many ways: how he cared for his friends, his intellect and integrity. He had a great sense of humor and many times he had a movie quote ready for any situation. He will be greatly missed.
He is survived by his parents Alan & Mila Moore, brother John Tyler Moore of Boise, ID, Uncle Ty Johnson of NC, Aunt Beth J. Ray (Bill) of SC, Uncle Mike Moore (Melanie) of VA, Cousin Mia Moore and numerous family members in the Carolinas and friends from all over the US.
A service of remembrance will be held Saturday, September 12, 2026; 1pm at University Baptist Church 16106 Middlebrook Dr, Houston 77059 where he enjoyed attending the Mosaic Weekend Bible Study class.

I had the honor of knowing Alan during our time together at the Air Force Academy, starting back when we were just Baby Barnstormers. Alan was exceptionally hardworking, dedicated, and meticulous in everything he took on. I still remember thinking he was crazy for taking on Honor Guard, but true to form, he made it look effortless and somehow kind of cool (especially the rifle drill).
I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Alan left this world far too soon, and his loss is felt deeply by those of us who had the privilege of serving alongside him. My heart goes out to his family, and I am sending you all strength, comfort, and peace during this painful time.
Rest easy, Alan.
I am sad to hear of Alan’s death. I knew him from Ecclesia small groups and men’s functions. Alan was softspoken, forthright, observant, and clever in conversation. We connected as engineers, but I was in awe of his diverse accomplishments and talents. He overcame a lot of challenges to accomplish much. I will miss him.
I am fortunate to have many fond memories of Alan, having grown up together through Scouts and Sunday School. He was an exceptionally bright and caring individual through all the time I knew him. From hiking campouts to meandering the local neighborhoods, those memories will not soon be forgotten, nor will he.
My deepest condolences to his parents, brother, family, friends, and all who knew and loved him. May God keep you, and I hope warm memories of Alan can provide comfort for you in the days ahead.
I am sorry that I was trying to make you stop doing what you loved. I thought we had all the time in the world to fight over silly things.
Thanks for coming to my life and leaving lots of good memories.
Love you.
Alan and I met in middle school and continued on through high school together. After getting off the bus after school most days we quickly coordinated to meet up somewhere on our bicycles and spend the next few hours going wherever we wanted at the moment. Sometimes that meant exploring the woods behind the neighborhoods or finding a good spot to record more scenes for our years-long home-movie. When we had spending money we’d sometimes stop to get a calzone and play pool at Double Dave’s. After going to other parts of the country for university we reconnected when we both returned to our old neighborhood. We would try to meet regularly to walk laps around the wetlands where we’d discuss work, politics, architecture, games, fandoms, and nostalgia.
Despite our long friendship he didn’t often share much about how he was personally feeling. However, over the past couple of years in particular I had noticed Alan opening up a lot more, often bringing up topics of conversation I’d never heard him share before. He was a lot more introspective, telling me more specifically about some of his own perceived flaws and how he wanted to overcome them. I actually enjoyed those conversations a lot, because it helped me take the same inward look at myself.
This last year over multiple walks we spent time discussing what futures we saw for ourselves. More recently he was beginning the process of remodeling his home for a more modern aesthetic, something he was very excited about. He’d go over the pros and cons of his career trajectories with me many times. He had also started dating someone who made him happy. I was thrilled for him. He in turn listened as I went from being on the fence about having children, to being much more open to the idea, to getting to tell him that my wife is expecting. He was thrilled for us.
About a third of all the text messages I got every day were random comments and memes from Alan. Now my phone is uncomfortably quiet during the work day. It’s an unpleasant feeling to say goodbye to someone who had been giving me weekly rundowns of the plans he was making for his life and how each one was progressing. I still walk and run around the same trails we walked so many times, and instinctively look toward his home as I pass it. I have been hearing from acquaintances we had in high school that remembered my friendship with Alan and reached out to see how I was doing. He always brought it up to me if he bumped into any of y’all, even if he ran into you at the grocery store and said hi for only a minute he would tell me about it.
I will miss my friend very much.
Just found out about this and shocked as well as sad , I was his dive supervisor for his first working commercial dive. He was nervous but at the same time excited.. and I will always remember the smile when I told him he did a good job.
Will be missed

I knew Al through my brother and sister in law. Although I never got to meet Al in person, we did chat on the phone and text about the struggles of addiction, but also the hope of recovery. My heart goes out to Al’s family and friends.
