Everyone he considered family and friends

“From now on, brothers and sisters, if anything is excellent and if anything is admirable, focus your thoughts on these things: all that is true, all that is holy, all that is just, all that is pure, all that is lonely, and all that is worthy of praise. -Philippians 4:8

Moe is a beautiful soul, with a smile that could light up a room. An attitude and personality like no other. The world just got a little darker now that you are gone.
