Winston Moore
Obituary
Winston Moore, of Kingston Jamaica, fell asleep on Wednesday September 10th, surrounded by the love and loyalty of his girls.
Born on Saturday November 5th 1960, Winston was the beloved son of Joseph and Violet Moore. He was deeply devoted to his family, friends, neighbors, spiritual brotherhood, and most importantly, to his loving and heavenly Father, Jehovah. To know Winston was to know strength wrapped in gentleness. He faced more than his share of health challenges, yet his resilience always shone through. Even in the hardest seasons, he carried himself with dignity and determination.
Spiritual-mindedness wasn’t something he spoke of only in words; it was who he genuinely was at his core. His faith shaped how he loved and treated everyone who crossed his path.
Warm-hearted and nonjudgmental, Winston welcomed others, despite their fears, experiences and backgrounds. Neighbors, friends, and even those who only met him briefly, often walked away encouraged by his wisdom and kindness. His protectiveness toward those he loved made them feel safe and cherished. And with his wide knowledge base - whether from life experience, personal study, or simple curiosity - he always had something thought-provoking and insightful to share.
Above all, Winston will be cherished and remembered for his faith, generosity, and the love that flowed from it.
His legacy lives on in the hearts of those who survive him: his wife and leading lady, Donnette Moore, his devoted daughters - L'Oreal and Maresa Moore; his loving mother - Violet Moore; his cherished sisters - Doreen Moore, Sonia Moore, Jennifer Gillies, and Sandra Moore; his loyal brother - Robert Moore, alongside his wife, Tasha Moore; and the many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and neighbors, who became like family to him.
We gather now, not only to remember his life, but to reflect on the sure hope that he held very close - the promise found at John 5:28, 29 of a resurrection to life in a paradise earth, where pain and death will be no more (Revelation 21:4).
Winston’s life was a living testimony that faith, resilience, and love can leave a legacy that never fades.

Brother Moore was a very inspiring servant of Jehovah. His courage and perseverance set a stellar example for us to follow and reflect on for years to come. He was very loving to his family and also with his spiritual brothers and sisters. I will miss his zeal and dedication to serving Jehovah under any circumstances. I look forward to seeing him again in the new system.

Our family (Stiles) and the Moore’s have been close friends over the years. From family trips to do need greater work in New York, cruises to the Caribbean and trips to Jamaica, we’ve always had faith strengthening experiences. Winston has always been very positive and a lover of Jehovah and his family. While we mourn him his positive influence on all he interacted with will always be remembered. We look forward to seeing him again as promised by Jehovah.

Winston and his family became some of my closest friends when I moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Winston was like a brother to me. I have many wonderful memories of fun times spent with him and his lovely family. My husband & I got to know and love this faithful servant of Jehovah. We look forward to more wonderful times in the future when he will be reunited with all his loved ones after his short "sleep." (Isaiah 25:8)

Dawn, Lori & Marsea,
We are deeply saddened about Winston’s passing. We’re grateful we had the chance to spend time with him and create so many wonderful memories together. Winston was more than a friend—he was family.

Please know our hearts are with you, and we hold onto the hope of seeing him again.

We are so saddened by the death of such a wonderful person. Winston was like a father to everyone that knew and will truly be missed. What a beautiful day it will be to see him again in the very near future!

The Bible tells us to imitate the faith of brothers and sisters and in particular the older men in the congregation. There is no doubt that Winston was exemplary. He faithfully handled his responsibilities and he never once saw us without being encouraging. It is always painful to see the ones that we care about experience pain and discomfort ,bot mi nuo fi shuor seh di neks taim wi si Bredda im nah guh sofa Nar pien op pien op.

My heart was saddened to hear that Brother Moore passed. Looking back I remember my journey coming to the truth. After attending a few meetings, Brother Moore approached me and asked if I was studying yet. I replied "no sir" his response was "well let's do something about that." He introduced me to Loreal and my journey began and never stopped. I'm grateful for meeting the Moore family and experiencing their love and hospitality. I look forward to seeing him in paradise soon!
September 27, 2025
My deepest condolences to Dawn, LOreal , Maresa and all of Winston’s family. He was one of Jehovah’s friend that truly made a good name for himself. He was loved by all who knew him, A kind, gentle, caring, mild tempered and a humble man. He’s inspired and encouraged me to stay strong in the faith no matter what. He will be dearly missed. Can’t wait until we meet again in paradise.
All my love to the Moore family.
All my love to the Moore family.

We want to give our heart felt condolences over the lost of our dear brother, Winston. We know that through GOD that this transition is only the refreshing. During his rest, his energy, his wisdom, his love is all being washed and cleansed in order to prepare him for his next journey. For GOD says that through him, life is evermore and more abundant. If we know ANYTHING, we know that Winston and Family are one with GOD every moment of every day. Continue to hold on to GOD’s Grace as well as each other. Winston will truly be missed…but will always be felt, remembered and loved.
Rest In Peace, My Friend

Winston was always a special humble spiritual man. In 4th grade class (1971) Winston was standing up for Jehovah and the
Truth NO GAMES/No Girls, he had a little green Bible in his school bag.
My buddy Winston gave my first Jamaican Beef Pattie.
Bro Joseph Moore taught me my first scripture Outside their house on the porch on 103rd Ave.
Rom 1:20
Like his father Joseph, Winston was a fine Teacher.
They are both taking a nap. We will see them soon.

Dear Donnette, L’Oreal, Meresa and family,
Please accept my deepest condolences. I remember working with Brother Moore in the ministry when he asked me, “What do you think Jehovah’s favorite color is?” His love for Jehovah and others always shone through. You and your family’s kindness and warm hospitality made me feel welcome. I will always remember Brother Moore’s warmth, his smile, and his zeal for the truth. May Jehovah comfort and strengthen you until we welcome him back in paradise.
With love

When Lenny and I moved to Atlanta from Savannah, we were going through a very dark chapter in our lives. By Divine Providence, a brother in Stone Mountain directed us to Buckhead to speak with Winston—and that meeting changed everything.
At the time, I was disfellowshipped, and Lenny was seeking to learn about Jehovah. Without hesitation or judgment, Winston began a Bible study with Lenny. I will always treasure the loving, kind, and non-judgmental way he treated us.
Sometimes the study took place in Winston’s home. While I sat quietly in the living room, wrapped in a blanket from Don by the fire, Winston would study with Lenny in the next room. Occasionally, he would raise his voice just enough for me to hear the much-needed reminders of Jehovah’s laws and counsel. No words were exchanged between us—but through Winston’s spiritual discernment and wisdom, I felt Jehovah’s love and mercy being extended.
For Lenny, Winston became the father he never had. His presence, guidance, and compassion will be deeply missed as he sleeps. But with Jehovah’s help, we will be there when he awakens.
We love you, Don, Maresa, and Loreal. Thank you for sharing Winston with us.

“Lay down my Brother, lay down and take your rest.” Brother Winston and his beautiful family (Dawn, Lo’real and the “little one”) I came to know and love over 25 years ago while living in Georgia. The Spirituality and tremendous love Brother Winston exuded for Jehovah, his family and friends was exactly what Jesus stated at John 13:34 ,35💝. I am looking forward to seeing you “stand up” again. Deepest love to Dawn, Lo’real and “ the little one.” May Jehovah continue to comfort you💋💝🐝

Winston, you are the epitome of a great man, excellent friend and masterful teacher. I remember once, while out in field service, Winston was teaching me about discernment, and how it takes patience to gain it. As he and I sat in his tan van in near gridlocked traffic, he quickly glanced ahead of us and then to the blind spot to his right and said, "Watch this-" and pointed at an empty spot in the lane next to us that had just opened up. Not even 5 seconds later- two cars crashed into each other right where he pointed! After seeing both drivers get out of their cars uninjured, he explained how the average person, without biblical guidance, can easily grow impatient despite KNOWING its dangerous to drive so quickly in heavy traffic.
Winston, you've taught me many things that I can never forget, and I am grateful to have known you and to call you friend. Rest well, you ran the race.

Winston and his family embraced us as newbies in the truth in Clairmont . So many Saturdays in the Nissan van in the ministry. I remember sitting next to his oldest daughter at the hall at the speaker said “turn to Amos”. It’s like she open her Bible straight to it. I was so impressed while looking at the table of contents to find it. I knew the Moore’s were serious about Jehovah. I’m so happy in the later years we had the privilege of serving together. Until we meet again for the famous “You know…” when talking about something. Lol

Dear Donnette, L'Oréal, Maresa, and family,
We will always remember Winston for his warm smile and the way he could light up a room with his stories. He had a gift for making
everyone feel like a friend,
and his jovial spirit was truly
contagious. His zeal for the ministry and love for Jehovah was an inspiration to all who knew him.
He has certainly left a void that can never be filled. We hope you find some comfort
in the many wonderful
memories you shared and in
the knowledge that we will see him again soon.

We are so sorry to hear about our dear brother Moore. He was a great elder, father and son and a good example of what it truly means to give Jehovah your best. He gave his all to Jehovah and didn’t let anything get in the way. Dawn, Loreal & Maresa; we love you and pray that Jehovah continues to cover you guys with his love and like Ps 34:18 he is even more close to you guys right now.

It is with tremendous gratitude that we come here to celebrate Winston (or “Dad” as he was our spiritual father). Jehovah lead you to not only preach, but to share your home, heart, and family with so many of us ♥️ Though it stings a bit at times, we know this is only a temporary sleep. May Jehovah continue to be with all of us until we see you again. Thank you for showing us the value in following Jehovah’s arrangement. Dawn, Lori, and Maresa we love you 😘

I have the fondest memories of this wonderful man. We go way back before his marriage to Dawn before the Girls came along.
Over all the years he’s never changed. One of the most loving, beautiful human beings I’ve ever known.
Can’t wait to see him again 🙏🏻
Love and condolences to his loving family that were so privileged to have him in their lives and soon to have him forever in paradise.
Love to all of you ♥️♥️

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my dear friend, brother, and co-worker. I called him Winnie.
He was a gentle soul with a warm and welcoming spirit, someone whose presence brought comfort and kindness wherever he went. A loving husband, devoted father, and loyal friend, he lived a life of quiet strength and unselfish care for others.
He was a prayer warrior with a soft heart, always ready to listen, support, and lift others up. His honesty, hard work, and support touched many, a respectful man who others highly respected. Winston memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. A soft spoken man but you heard him loud and clear.
May his legacy of love, faith, and kindness continue to inspire us. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. To Mrs. beautiful Dawn, my sweet Lorie and my sweet Maressa I love you all. Thank you for sharing Winston with me during his challenging moments.
❤️.
Forever missed and never forgotten.
Love you Winston.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss! Bro. Moore was so loving and warm when I first came to Clairmont as a young lady. Larry and I actually went out with his service group for hospitality and grew a connection that has lasted 20 years. If it wasn't for his hospitality to me being new to the hall, I may not have the beautiful family I have today! He made me feel like I knew him for years and welcomed me to the congregation like I was one of his daughters. He always had a warm hug and encouraging words to say when I saw him. I loved his heartfelt parts and the love he had for Jehovah. He will truly be missed!! Please accept the love from my family to yours in this trying time.
September 18, 2025
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Grief is a heavy journey and with Jehovah you will be well. Continue to hold onto the love, the memories and the strength you carry. I’m here if you ever need me. Loved, Supported, and Never Alone.

Today, we gather to honor the life of Winston Moore - a man of faith, resilience, and deep love. While our hearts feel the sadness of his absence, we are comforted in knowing that our time apart is only temporary. The Bible assures us that death is like sleep, and Winston is simply resting, soon to awaken to perfect health in a world free of pain and sorrow.
This memorial is not only a remembrance of Winston’s life, but also a reflection of the sure hope he carried in his heart: the resurrection promise from Jehovah, which may be fulfilled sooner than we expect. Until that time, we hold fast to the comfort of Jehovah’s words and the cherished memories Winston left with us.
This website shares highlights of Winston’s life that were meaningful to him and to us. Rather than a full life story, we invite you, his friends and loved ones, to share your memories and photos below. Together, they make up the living legacy of a man of faith, beauty, and hope.

(P.S. In harmony with Winston’s love of flowers, gardening, and all things beautiful, we kindly invite those attending to wear color in reflection of the joyful paradise awaiting when he awakens again.)
