Jeffrey J. Moore

Jeffrey J. Moore was remembered by family and friends as a warm, lively presence whose role as a father was central to his life. Public notices from the time identify him as a 24‑year‑old connected to the Omaha/Bellevue area and as a loving father to four children: Kynisha, Jeffrey, Jataya, and Jaeonna. His obituary notice published in the Omaha World‑Herald and carried on legacy.com listed family members — including grandparents and a wide circle of relatives and friends — and gave information about funeral arrangements, visitation at Braman Mortuary, and a celebration of life held at Greater St. Paul (COGIC). These items reflect a family and community that gathered to honor him.

Although the public record about Jeffrey’s life beyond family relationships is limited in online sources, the messages left on his memorial page show he was known by many as “Jeff” or “Josh,” remembered for a ready smile and a sense of humor. Condolences and remembrances posted soon after his death speak of close bonds with cousins, nephews, friends, and coworkers who recalled his laughter, his ability to lift spirits, and the everyday presence he offered to those around him. Those notes — preserved on the legacy.com memorial page — suggest he was someone who made a positive mark in ordinary, human ways: as a son, grandchild, cousin, and friend.

Jeffrey’s passing was discovered on May 1, 2008, near the entrance to Standing Bear Lake in Omaha; news reports from the time identify the 24‑year‑old and state that an autopsy later ruled the death a homicide. That fact has cast a long shadow over the family’s grief, yet available public records and memorial pages emphasize the person he was and the family he left behind. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jeffrey and Regina Moore, and mourned by grandparents and many relatives named in the funeral notice.

Today, what remains most visible in the public record is the affection of those who knew him: family members who organized funeral services and friends who left messages of love and remembrance. For his children and relatives, Jeffrey’s memory lives in stories, photographs, and the small acts of care and humor people recall. While details about his daily work, education, or hobbies are not clearly documented in public sources, the record that does exist — funeral information, family names, and the many condolence messages — affirms that Jeffrey J. Moore was a real person whose life mattered to a community that continues to remember him with tenderness.
