Patrick Moore

Patrick Pearse Moore, of Shrub Oak, NY, age 60, died suddenly on July 29th, 2023. Patrick valued family, faith, and community, and he will be sorely missed by the many people who loved him.

Patrick was a devoted grandfather, father, brother, son, godfather, uncle, cousin, and friend, and he never missed an opportunity to be among his large extended family. He is survived by his granddaughter Orla, his sons Brendan (Erin), Declan, and Kevin, their mother Kerri, his siblings Tommy, Kevin (Kerri), Maureen Slattery (Roger), Cathleen McNulty (Kevin), Dermot (Joan), Kerry, and Eileen Fitzgerald (Bobby), and his 37 beloved nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents Thomas and Mary. 

Born in the Bronx, Patrick was proud of his Irish-American Heritage from a young age. He was a skilled bagpiper and founding member of the Kerry Pipers and a proud member of the Bronx Gaelic League, the Ancient Order of Hibernians Division III Pearl River, and the Police Emerald Society of Westchester. While at Iona College, Patrick (class of 1984) joined the Iona College Pipe Band and the Iona Crew Team, and he counted many fellow Gaels amongst his closest friends. A dogged prosecutor committed to fairness and justice, Patrick retired from the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office in 2022 as a Bureau Chief after 35 years of public  service. Active in his retirement, he biked the trails of Westchester, swam laps, golfed and hiked often. Patrick was a dedicated volunteer, socializing puppies at Guiding Eyes for the Blind, earning his Gallon Club card from the New York Blood Center, running the Tunnel to Towers 5K yearly, and was participating in the Swim Across America charity open water swim at the time of his passing. A man of faith, Patrick attended mass regularly at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Shrub Oak. 

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 AM Saturday, 8/5, at St. Margaret's R.C. Church in Pearl River, NY. Burial will follow at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, NY. Visiting is Thursday, 8/3, from 7 to 9 pm and Friday, 8/4, 3 to 5 and 7 to 9 PM at Wyman-Fisher Funeral Home in Pearl River, NY.
