It is with profound love and deep sadness that we announce the passing of Daniel Joseph Moore, Esq., at the age of 73, on November 16, 2025, in Prince Frederick, Maryland. Born on June 26, 1952, to Richard and Jeanne Moore, Dan was raised in Kirtland, Ohio.

Dan was a 1980 honors graduate from the Columbus School of Law at the Catholic University of America. As a student, he won the Miller and Sutherland Cups in oral advocacy and served as Vice Chancellor of the Moot Court. He earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees in philosophy as a Basselin Fellow, graduating summa cum laude from the Catholic University.

Dan spent his career as a civil trial attorney. He was a founding partner of Moore & Jackson and a former partner at  Semmes, Bowen & Semmes.

While his professional life was filled with numerous successes and accolades, Dan's proudest achievements were all centered on his wife Christine Monroe Moore, his five children Johanna (Adam) Zayed, Thomas Moore, Kathleen (Kyle) Vaughn, Elizabeth Gasiorowski, Julia (Kevin) Nichols, and ten grandchildren. Dan is survived by siblings Michael Moore, Kathleen (John) Holmes, Maggie Karis, and Carrie Moore. Dan was a self-proclaimed forever big kid and loved to spend his days telling stories to his grandchildren, listening to music, completing the New York Times crossword puzzles, and participating in anything that remotely resembled a competition.

The family will receive friends at the family owned Ruck-Towson Funeral Home, 1050 York Road (at beltway exit 26) on Friday, November 21, 2025, 4-7PM. Services and interment private. In lieu of flowers, Dan would appreciate donations to https://mdfoodbank.org
