Joseph Moore

Joseph Paul Moore, 49, of Cape Girardeau died Saturday, April 10, 2021, at his home.

He was born Oct. 31, 1971, to James and Katherine Goldrick Moore at Cape Girardeau. On July 16, 2011, Joseph and Katrina E. Froemsdorf were united in marriage.

Joseph was a member of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Cape Girardeau.

He worked over 16 years as a lineman for Ameren Utilities and was a member of the Union IBEW No. 702 in West Frankfort, Illinois.

Joe was definitely the strong silent type. He was a man of few words, but the words he spoke were true, kind, insightful and often the voice of reason. He was always ready to help others.

If you ever had a question about the most random trivia, Joe knew the answer.

Family beach vacations, guy trips, NASCAR and reading were a few of Joe Paul's favorite things.

Halloween on Park Avenue will never be the same. Joe did Halloween (his birthday) right with his mom's chicken and dumplings, epic decorations and his unique family costumes. He made sure every family that stopped by got candy, food, drink and a lot of laughs.

He spent his life loving his family and friends fiercely. But Joe was at his very best when he had his arms around his family. He was a protector, a provider.

Joseph is survived by his parents, James and Katherine Moore of Cape Girardeau; wife, Katrina E. Moore of the home; four sons, Joshua Paul (Karly) Moore of Paducah, Kentucky; and Nicholas Paul Sanderfer, Gage Joseph Moore and Kolbe James Moore, all of Cape Girardeau; two daughters, Cecelia Rose Sanderfer and Sophia Marie Moore, both of Cape Girardeau; brother, Christopher (Amy) Moore of Jackson; two sisters, Jennifer (Barry) Gray of Cape Girardeau and Elizabeth (Tommy) Thomas of Liberty, Missouri; paternal grandmother, Jewel Francis Moore of Cape Girardeau; and numerous nieces and nephews; and he was a friend to many.

Visitation will be from 9 to 11 a.m. today, with rosary at 10:30 a.m., at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Cape Girardeau.

Funeral Mass will follow at 11 a.m. today at the church with the Rev. Brian Straus officiating. Burial will follow at St. Mary's Cemetery in Cape Girardeau.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to his children and family.
