Deputy Moore, though we never met, I feel as though I knew you. I researched your murder, visited your shooting area and visited your grave. I read the interviews of your sheriff and community peers. I find we were a lot alike. Thank you for being such a good, respectable Deputy Sheriff. Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice attempting to better your community. It takes a special person to lay down his life for his community. Rest in Peace Deputy. You, sir, will never be forgotten.
Captain Allen Jones, Assistant Chief Deputy St. Francis County Sheriff’s Office Forrest City, Arkansas May 10th, 2024
