Brian P. Moore

November 6, 1970     January 25, 2020

Brian Paul Moore, 49, Altoona, passed away on Saturday, January 25, 2020, at his home due to complications from Type I Diabetes.

Brian was born at JC Blair Hospital, Huntingdon on November 6, 1970.  He grew up in Williamsburg and graduated from Williamsburg High School in 1989.

After high school, Brian earned a diploma from Hiram G. Andrews Vocational Center, completing the Jewelry and Watch Repair course of study. He was employed in Clearfield as a watch repair tech for several years.

Brian then upgraded his technical skills by obtaining training in fiber optics and computer circuitry. He was subsequently employed by C-Cor Electronics in Blair County until the company moved to Mexico.

His last career position was as a KHEAA College Grant Application Customer Service Representative in Lawrence, KS for several years.

Brian was diagnosed as a four-year-old with severe (brittle) Type I/Childhood Diabetes.  As an adult, he was determined to fight his disease and live and work as an independent and self-sufficient person. Eventually, however, he had to retire on disability and give up full-time employment when his condition caused frequent hospitalizations.  He then returned to Blair County, where he purchased a home. Hoping to return to work, he enrolled in a degree program online through the University of Phoenix and graduated in 2013.

Brian is survived by his parents, William I. and Andrea (Phelps) Moore of Williamsburg; a half-sister, Candice Dodd of San Antonio, TX; and a step-daughter, Emily Dye of Rosedale, VA.

He was preceded in death by his brothers, Sean D. Moore and Garth Taylor Moore.
