In Loving Memory of Christopher Kai Moore
May 6, 1962 – May 13, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Christopher Kai “C-Moore” Moore who passed away on May 13, 2025.
Born in Jacksonville, Florida and a longtime resident of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Chris was known for his unwavering loyalty, warm heart, and the rare gift of maintaining friendships that spanned his entire life. A true friend in every sense, who will be greatly missed by many.
Born on May 6, 1962, Chris graduated from Manheim Township High School in 1980 and furthered his education at Lehigh University where he earned a degree in Industrial Engineering in 1984. He was a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity. Upon graduating from Lehigh, he went on to build a nearly 40-year career at Armstrong World Industries, where he was respected not only for his work in numerous capacities and locations but for his kindness, intelligence, and integrity.
Chris’s life was a testament to the power of connection. Throughout his life, he nurtured relationships with care and sincerity. He believed that friendships were among life’s greatest gifts. His family and friends will deeply miss his kindness, sense of humor, and presence in their lives.
He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Angel; his children, Jacob and Nicholas; his mother, Katherine Andersen Moore; his brothers, Michael and Tom, and their families who brought him endless joy. He was proceeded in death by his father, Alfred Robert Moore. He also leaves behind a wide circle of friends who became like family, each with their own cherished memories of Chris’s laughter, humor, wisdom, and unwavering support.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Anne B. Barshinger Cancer Institute.
A casual drop-in gathering will be held on Saturday, July 12, 2025, from 11 AM – 1 PM at Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543.

Heartfelt condolences to Chris’s family. My Aunt once consoled me when my father passed from the same dreadful disease with “sometimes God needs to call home the best of the best.” Thirty plus years later I always remember it gave me comfort. Chris was truly one of the best of the best. I didn’t know him long. When you’ve only known someone a short time and they leave a memorable impact, you know he was a good and decent man. I met him in the final year of AFI and I was only there a year but I remember his infectious smile and sense of humor. He was always willing to help me gain knowledge and understanding of the business and always with a gracious heart. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. May you find comfort in knowing he was loved by so many and that he is at peace and looking down from heaven.

I met Chris’ father Al at a meeting of the Lancaster chapter of the Institute of Industrial Engineers in the 1970’s.Later I learned his son Chris was also a graduate Industrial Engineer and was joining Armstrong where I too started as an IE. Chris and I eventually ended up working together when I recruited him to work in Purchasing.Chris was an outstanging professional in purchasing and just a lot of fun to be around. One of my best memories of Chris is when he and I, Steve Mclean and a supplier had dinner at Windows on the World on the 107th floor of the north tower of the World Trade Center. After dinner we happened to find ourself at “Wild Blue” a night club next to the restaurant. For a moment, we were fraternity brothers having a night out.My heart felt condolences to Angel and family. Chris left us way too soon.

I grew up as neighbors with the Moore family. As kids, Chris and I were best friends. I remember going to the Moore’s house (cutting through backyards ) and watching movies with Chris, Tommy and Mike. Chris was a wonderful friend and I am so saddened to hear of his death. May his memory be a blessing

My heartfelt condolences to Chris’s family. I met Chris the day he knocked at my office door. I had no idea who he was. He was there to talk to me and hopefully make me feel better. Chris had heard that I had been recently diagnosed with Cancer and just thought he could help. He likley never knew just how much he pulled me up that day. He was the first person I had talked to that I knew uderstood what I was feeling. I felt a darkness I had never experienced and this man who I had had never met made me realize things would get better. We always stayed in touch after that day, lending each other emotional support. He was a very good man with a great heart and excellent wit about him. He will be missed.

Dear Chris,
You have been a special friend to many but as much so to me as any one has ever been. You started as my ‘potential’ Armstrong boss and quickly became a golfing, fishing, bbq-ing, jeep romping buddy beyond all measure. Our time together in Oklahoma was bar none but most importantly that friendship spanned all through our life. We never had one bad golf outing no matter the weather or score because it never mattered except for being together and with friends. Even though I wasn’t with you when you got your first hole-in-one or when catching those extra big fish that were bigger than the Oklahoma lake crappie we filled the coolers with, I felt like I was celebrating that joy with you because your smile was as real, genuine and the same in the pictures as if standing right there next to you. Of course I will never forget surviving the Stillwater tornado with you and what a blessing it was to walk out of that house to celebrate together. No matter how much time ever passed since our last gathering, you were one of those special friends in life who I felt like no time had passed since we last saw each other. With a big handshake, an even bigger hug and a Chris Moore step forward to re-start the conversation, it reaffirmed that no time had truly passed – the friendship was strong forever. God already blessed me – and all of us – with your love and friendship and now may he bless you, your family and friends with the peace and joy we continue to hold in our memories that will continue to make us smile as if time does not pass until we meet again. Lehigh 63 – Lafeyette 0 !!

My deepest condolences to the Moore family! Chris was my first crush back in Miss Neal’s 4th grade class…C-cret Mission…always a favorite memory, and a great friend thru MT. I wish I had know him as the kind, funny and honorable adult man you all loved. Chris reached out recently due to the passing of my parents, it touched me deeply. I wish for you solace in the wonderful memories. Deborah Locke

Angel and family, I was saddened to see Chris’ obituary and am sorry for your loss. I met Chris at Lehigh at a homecoming at Phi Sig while he was still there before he started working for Armstrong. I was always happy to cross paths with him at Armstrong and call him my “brother” because of his friendly and outgoing personality. God bless him and you.

May you rest in peace dear friend. My sincere condolences to your family who stood by you through your battle. Thoughts and prayers.

Chris & Angel played a big part in especially the middle school years of my son, Hudson–Chris affectionately called him Hudstone. Nicholas and Hudson had many sleepovers at the Moore house in Somerset, and Hudson always came home exhausted and happy. I am so thankful for the love and care of this family, and send my warmest sympathies. Much Love, Anne

My condolences to Chris’s family. Chris and I started our careers as Industrial Engineers at Armstrong a year apart. Our Armstrong careers crossed paths many times and we often followed each other from one job and location to another. All along I admired Chris for his honest, friendly, collaborative approach to work and his ever present sense of humor and enduring resilience. He never let his health struggles dampen his spirits or approach to life. I admired him for that. I will be thinking of him when in Canada fishing this summer and hopefully I’ll catch one for Chris!Denise Bird

Chris and I began (and ended) our Armstrong careers at the same time, becoming neighbors in between. He was always so cool, collected and unruffled – traits I always admired about him. I so wanted to catch up with him recently but life (& excuses) got in the way. My loss, but I’ll remember him fondly. Sending prayers to Angel and the boys.

I think the best thing anybody could say about another person is that they lived life with integrity and kindness toward others. In every sense of the word, Chris led a life well lived, and I can only hope that his memory will be a blessing to his family and his extended family. He will be missed!

Oh buddy. You were a good friend. A sweet soul. And the definition of determination and strength. My HS classmate I really got to know in our adult years. You made me laugh. Your humor and one off’s were epic. There is now a void. God bless you brother.
