Laney Theophilus Moore, Jr. also knows as “Boobie” was born in Washington, District of Columbia on February 21, 1964 to Rose Mary Price Moore and the late Laney T. Moore, Sr. and departed this life on Tuesday, November 28, 2023 at BridgePoint Hospital Capitol Hill.
Laney being a native Washingtonian was educated in the District of Columbia Public Schools System. He furthered his education at McKinley Technical High School where he graduated in the class of 1983 with a concentration in Printing Technologies. He continued his education at the Lemuel A. Penn Career Center for Printing/Bindery and Undergraduate Studies at the University of the District of Columbia.

Laney loved his professional experiences and co-workers who are also lifelong friends. He worked several years as a Security Officer, Argenbright Security Inc., Wackenhut Services Inc. as an Assistant Supervisor, and C&D Security Management Inc. He was widely respected and retired due to his illness as a Protective Security Officer (PSO) for the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Union Vice President for First Responders Police Security.
Laney at a young age joined Canaan Baptist Church, Washington, DC where he was baptized and served as a member of the Young Peoples Choral Ensemble and the Junior Usher Board. In church is where he met and married the former Tammy Hentz. To this union was born one son Laney T. Moore, III whom they loved dearly.
Although Laney was a Washingtonian, he was a diehard “Steeler Nation” Pittsburg Steelers football team fan. He never missed a game and loved to wear the Steelers NFL gear or ride proudly with the automobile collection throughout his car.

He loved to talk with whomever would listen and would always be heard giving advice to former co-workers even through his illnesses. He fought long and hard to be present for those he loved and cared for. It is hard to believe he is no longer with us and gone much too soon. But we find comfort knowing he is with his dad, older brother and a host of loved ones. Rest in peace Boobie, God only takes the best.

He is preceded in death by his father Laney T. Moore, Sr., and his brother Claude L. Moore. He leaves to cherish and honor his memory, his mother Rose Mary Price Moore, his son Laney T. Moore, III, his brother Kenneth R. Moore, Sr., his sister Roslyn Moore, his uncle Dowell A. Davis, Sr. and a host of nieces, nephews and family. Laney is also survived by his former wife Tammy Moore and close friends Brenda Johnson and Stewart Griffin.
