Kevin was one of the few that helped with the building of the track at its very beginning. Kevin also ran Moore's Machine and Kart Shop on Stevens Drive and built some of the strongest engines in the West in the late 80' and early 90's. During his time in karting he served on the TCKC Board of Driector's and help in the hosting of the 1986 IKF Sprint Grand Nationals.
Kevin was a great person and will be missed by many of us. God Speed Kevin...

KEVIN ALAN MOORE
Einan's Funeral Home
Kevin was the only son of Gale Marie Mezger and Robert Earl Moore. He was born January 30, 1959, at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Granite City, Illinois. Kevin passed away on October 18, 2008, from a heart attack in Buckeye, Arizona.
The family moved to Richland, Washington in 1963, where Kevin attended Richland Schools until 1975.
He moved with his parents to Cuba, Missouri to graduate from Cuba High School and Rolla Machinist Trade School. Kevin was proud when he won 1st Place at the District Leadership Conference while representing Rolla Vocational Machine Shop, Rolla, Missouri. After graduating in 1977, Kevin returned to Richland to work as a machinist. Kevin worked 13 years in the Hanford area but eventually opened his own machine shops, Moore's Machine and Kart Shop and Moore's Precision Machine and Fabrication Shop. Over the last few years, Kevin additionally worked at the nuclear plant outages in Arizona, coming home in between outages. He met and enjoyed many new wonderful friends in Arizona.
Kevin married Yvette McColgin and they had one child, Jacob Robert Moore. Kevin and Yvette later divorced.
His father, Robert Earl Moore; his sister, Linda Jean Moore; and his nephew, Craig Elmer Kelly, preceded him in death.
Kevin leaves behind his dearly loved son, Jacob R. Moore of Richland, WA; his mother, Mrs. Gale Mezger Moore Crawford (James) of Pasco, WA; his sisters, Janet Moore of Redmond, WA, Kathie Adair (James) of West Richland, WA, and Karen Buchanan (Randy) of Richland, WA.

Kevin was a proud member of American Legion Post #34, Pasco, Washington.
Kevin had a big heart and good soul; he was always willing to help. He was our Bubby from the time he was born, but he was also lovingly known as the King of Denial. Kevin loved the mountains, the ocean & the beach, traveling through Canada, camping and spending great times with his son and family. Kevin had many talents and could always be depended upon to cook a batch of Vegetable Soup, BBQ Ribs or the Christmas Day Prime Rib. Kevin, you are gone much too soon, we love you and will miss you.
