A West Virginia member of the U.S. National Guard passed away in a motorcycle accident on Monday.
Specialist Corey A. Moore, a native of Beckley, served in the National Guard since 2018. He was assigned to the 821st Engineer Construction Company.
“Our entire One Guard family mourns the tragic loss of Corey, who was one of our state and nation’s finest,” WVNG Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Bill Crane, said. “This young man answered the solemn call to duty, and he represented himself, his family, and our Guard with honor throughout his career. Our hearts are with his fellow Soldiers of the 821st, and especially with his family and friends who knew him best and whose lives were immensely touched by his spirit and love. We will continue to honor his legacy and service in the West Virginia National Guard and ask that his family is kept in your prayers.”
He earned an Army Service Ribbon, a National Defense Medal, and the West Virginia Service Medal.
Moore is survived by his father, mother, and three siblings.
