THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 2025 Page 17 David Moore O f Revere. It is with both sadness and celebration that we remember the life of David Moore, who passed away on March 5, 2025, at the age of 75. Born in Chelsea on July 17, 1949, to the late James Moore and Margaret (Clark). David, fondly known as Dave, was a beacon of humor and kindness, casting a warm and inviting light on everyone who had the pleasure to know him. His life was marked by a contagious spirit of joy, his laughter echoing in the hearts of those who survive him. As the poet Maya Angelou once said, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” This could not be truer for David, a man who made people feel seen, heard, and most importantly, loved. David graduated from Chelsea High class of 1967 and received a bachelor’s degree in education from Boston State College. David was a thoughtful and compassionate man who dedicated his life to his profession as an underwriter in the insurance industry. Despite his commitment to his career, he never let work overshadow SEN. MARKEY | FROM Page 1 Over 2,500 attendees were estimated as Saturday’s event, with over 1,500 stuff ed into the capacity-full Jenkins and another 1,000 in the overfl ow school cafeterias inside the school. There was not a parking space to be found in probably a mile radius of the Town Hall site, which had a large law enforcement presence of Malden, State and Capitol Police on hand. In addition to the decidedly pro-Markey crowd were some feisty protestors representing both sides of the political spectrum. There were those supporting the progressive agenda put forth by Democrat Senator Markey as well as those backing the platforms and directives of Republican U.S. President Donald J. Trump. The protestors went backand-forth loudly and vocalthe things he cherished most. His love for home decorating was a testament to his vibrant personality, with every room in his residence in Revere, refl ecting his unique style. He had a particular fondness for plants and flowers, nurturing each one with the same loving care he extended to those around him. David’s devotion to his late mother, Margaret Moore, was palpable; he carried her memory in every sunflower he nurtured, every room he decorated, and every life he touched. David is survived by his sister, Carol Csongor and her late husband Frank of Danvers, brother, Edward “Ted” Moore and his wife Goldie of Saugus, and Janie Moore of RI, and the late James “Jimmy” who will remember him as a loving brother, a funny companion, and a thoughtful confidante. Also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews. As we bid farewell to David, let us remember the words of Albert Schweitzer, “The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.” David found his happiness in service — to his family, his friends, his work, and even his plants.
