James “Jeff” Moore
James Edward Ford “Jeff” Moore, of LaPorte Texas, passed away on Friday, October 20, 2017, following his courageous battle with cancer. Jeff was born on May 13, 1962 in Houston, Texas.
Jeff graduated from Bellaire High School in 1980 and was a fun-loving man, who enjoyed life to the fullest and loved his family. In his free time, he enjoyed traveling and spending quality time with family and friends. Both here in the Houston area as well as, their country home in Crockett, Texas where he could hunt, fish and enjoy his love for cooking.
Jeff aka “PRTY~TM” is known for his work ethic, his commitment to family, being an avid sports fan and strong supporter of the Houston Texans, and tailgating on game days. Jeff’s career in the commercial laundry business is a testament to his character and commitment to excellence as he has been a valued and dedicated employee of the VA Medical Center of Houston for the past 28 1/2 years. In addition to 20+ years of running a successful business specializing in the design, implementation, and repair of commercial laundry systems across Texas and Louisiana. He will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known this quick witted and kindhearted, wonderful man. Jeff was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and loyal friend. He was patient and thoughtful, with a heart as big as Texas, and always had a positive outlook and smile.
Jeff was preceded in death by his father James Henry and grandparents Ford and Claudia. He is survived by his loving wife Laura, five wonderful daughters, Briana Moore, Chelsea Moore and husband Wesley Grittman, Crystal Reaves and husband Darren, Monica Hoang and husband Bruce, and Alexandria Dotson. Six grandchildren Emree, Kade, Evan, Cort, Ella and Andee; and sisters Jamie Perkins and husband Robert, Sharon Walsh and husband John, Deborah Moore and many additional loving family and an infinite number of friends.
He would want us to be joyous and remember him and his smile, laugh, and good nature.
The family will receive friends for visitation on Saturday, October 28, 2017 from 2 – 4:00 pm with a Celebration of Life Ceremony at 4 o’clock at Crowder Funeral Home, 111 East Medical Center Blvd., Webster, Texas 77598 with Reverend Byron Miller officiating. Memorials can be made to American Cancer Society, P.O. Box 22478, Oklahoma City, OK 73123.
A great man, gone way too soon. Jeff you will be missed dearly. Sending love and prayers to the Moore family.
One of the kindest hearted persons I know, even in High School! You will be truly missed Jeff. Bellaire get together’ s will not be the same but you will not be forgotten. Many prayers and hugs to all of Jeff’s family, may his strength strengthen you during these difficult times. His contagious smile is smiling from above upon everyone. Rest in peace and without pain. We will all see you again one day.
I had the pleasure of working with Jeff as a Vendor for the VA Medical Center.
He was always so nice and I enjoyed talking with him when he would call the office to pay a bill with his Company credit card. His famous words were “Okay Sandy, I need to pay a few bills so that you can go shopping and buy yourself a new pair of shoes”…..or “Hey Sandy, I need to pay my bill, but this time I need you to get Chuck a new pair of work boots. His are wore out.” Chuck was our Service Technician who took care of Jeff’s needs.
To the family and dear friends….all of us here at CRT Industrial Equipment send our sincerest condolences. He was a good man. We will also miss him.
Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers!
One of the greatest people I ever met .me and all the veterans thank you for service at the Michael DeBakey Hospital .dont worry we got Wayne, God bless super d.
I’ve known Jeff since 1984 when I came to Texas.
He was a repair-specialist for laundry equipment you could always count on to get it right the first time. He loved to do any work as if he owned it himself. Enterprising, adventurous-but practical, you could always count on having the job completed within the time allotted and done to perfection. Best of all, you could call him “Friend”. Romans 8:18
I can’t stress how much Jeff will be missed. Working at the VA will never be the same. May he rest in peace, and may the lord be with his loving family.
I enjoyed working with Jeff here at the VA, I could always count on his help when I had a problem with one of the vehicles. We had great fun playing the football boards , PRTY TM is the name on his square and he would always asked did I win brother and a lot of times he did. He was very knowledgeable about a lot of things here at the VA and didn’t mind helping you if he could. We bragged about who could cook the best ,I shared some of my recipes and he shared some of his and whenever there was some cooking to be done at the VA he would ask me to help him cook. He also was a very giving person, he would always donate to our Homeless Veteran Benefit and to our Annual Veterans Day Event. I will miss my Friend. RIP PRTY TM My prayers are with the family

Jeff was one of the sweetest dearest friends I think I’ve ever had will miss him dearly and will always love him and his family Laura my heart goes out to you
To my brother Jeff I came to Texas almost 10 years ago and from the day I met you you were a wonderful friend I will miss you dearly. To Laura and his baby girls my heart goes out to you I’m so sorry. Jeff thank you for being such a wonderful friend I love you brother rest in peace I’ll see you on the other side I promise.
I knew Jeff’s dad in high school and have known Jeff since he was in diapers.
He grew to be a fine man. He’s done work for us at Imperial for many years–always there when we needed him and with excellence. He always carried a key to our plant on his key ring. That is how I trusted, admired him, and valued his input.
Linda and I are so sorry that we will be out of the state at the time of the celebration of life, but our love and prayers will be with you, Laura, and with your family.
Jeff, I will miss you greatly and I look forward to reuniting with you in heaven. Man, we will we have some stories to tell!
With gratitude for a good friend
Jeff was always smiling and had a wonderful outlook on life
and was a very dear friend. He will be missed by many.
A true Texan in every way. God bless his family.
Jeff Moore, what an impactful person he was.
I have known Jeff for almost 27 years at the V A. Jeff had a huge personality, and a gift of treating each person he met in a special way. You didn’t have to “be” somebody for Jeff to like you or to help you. He made himself available to all. He was a “go to” guy when you needed to get something done. Very knowledgeable about his job and most times yours as well. He was a straight shooter and didn’t beat around the bush. As most people know he was a lot a fun to be around. I will truly miss him, as we often would talk early in the morning at work solving the problems of the world of just talking about life. He loved his family and always spoke of them. You, “good buddy” will be missed.
Laura,
We could not have been in business without Jeff. He was always there when we needed him-even up to the very last week.
We will miss his smiling face and jovial personality.

Jeff was a GREAT Friend and a GREAT Human Being! We worked together at the V.A. until I retired, then still stayed in touch. We would occasionally get together for different outings. He was always “The Life of the Party” and just fun to be around!
May God Bess You and Your Family! I will miss you!
I am really sad that Jeff has passed away. Good Man and l know that God will take care of him.
Jeff was one of those business connections you make over the years that just turn into more. After a while you look at this person as a friend not just a customer. We would talk about family and life as friends did. After Jeff got sick he felt as if he could talk to me about things that maybe he couldn’t to people that were so close. I had lost my daughter only two and a half years ago and he knew I had been dealing with grief. He was brave about his outlook and faced it with a realistic attitude. He was going to fight this no matter what it took. So sorry for the loss and know this is so hard for his family. All I can say is try to remember the good memories.
There is no doubt Jeff will be missed greatly. I wish our daughters could live life with him in it. It was way too soon to loose him. I loved him with all my heart and he will always be my love, my soulmate. RIP Jeffery.
