Kerry Lamont Moore, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on May 11, 2025, in Louisville, Kentucky, surrounded by his family. He was born on September 24, 1960, in Louisville, where he spent his entire life, cultivating his deep appreciation for nature and all things outdoors.
A proud graduate of Jeffersontown High School, class of 1978, Kerry devoted his career to landscaping, a profession that allowed him to merge his love for working with his hands and his passion for the beauty of the natural world. He found joy and fulfillment in creating and nurturing green spaces, leaving a lasting impact on everyone with whom he worked.
Kerry was a man of simple pleasures, cherishing moments spent in the kitchen cooking, watching Westerns, and cheering on UofL Basketball. His hobbies reflected his warm personality and his ability to connect with those around him. He was especially known for the love he shared with his family.
Kerry is survived by his devoted wife, Sherri Moore; his sons, Kerry Johnson (Jennifer) and Julius Jackson (Lachanta); step-sons, Will Holmes and Collin Holmes; and his siblings, Saundra Stoner, Kathy Moore, and Chris Moore (Angie). He was a proud grandfather to Keyvan Johnson, Julise Jackson, Kelise Jackson, Khalil Jackson, and Rhyan Johnson, who will fondly remember him for his kindness and the love he bestowed upon them. Kerry will also be missed by many extended family members who cherished his presence in their lives.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony and Shirley Moore, who instilled in him the values of hard work and compassion that defined his character.
