Obituary

Charles Wayne Moore
October 15, 1947 - July 2, 2025

Charles Wayne Moore, age 77, of Madrid, Iowa, passed away peacefully on July 2, 2025, at the Eastern Star Masonic Home in Boone, Iowa.

Charles (Chuck) was born in Ames, Iowa, on October 15, 1947, son of Orie and Shirley (Anaway) Moore, and later met the love of his life, Barbara (Burke) Moore. The two were married on June 3, 1967 and made their home in Madrid, Iowa, where together they built a life grounded in love, laughter, and unwavering support.

Chuck is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years, Barb; his two sons, Bret Moore (wife Jessica) and Adam Moore (wife Leslie); and his four cherished granddaughters: Ashley (husband Jake) Woodworth, Alaina Moore, Allison Moore, and Sophie Moore. He is also survived by his brother, Bill (Pat) Moore of Roland, IA, and his sister, Beulah Hanks of Kelly, IA.

Chuck had a lifelong passion for woodworking and classic cars—especially Chevrolets. He found joy in restoring and tinkering with engines, fixing any challenge put in front of him, and his garage was always filled with friends and laughter. One of his greatest pleasures was taking his granddaughters camping at local campsites, where he created lasting memories around the campfire.

He worked for Pickell Construction in Madrid for several years before founding and operating his own business, M & W Plumbing, proudly serving the Madrid community for many years.

Chuck will be remembered for his steady presence, his love for his family, and the quiet wisdom he offered to those around him. Whether sharing stories, lending a helping hand, or simply enjoying time with loved ones, he lived a full life.

A memorial gathering will be held on Thursday, July 10, 2025, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Iles Sundberg-Kirkpatrick Funeral Home in Madrid, Iowa. A private burial will take place at Mt. Hope Cemetery near Madrid at a later date.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
