Don was born May 13, 1925 in Endicott, Washington to Conrad and Christine (Leinweber) Moore. He was raised on the farm near Endicott and graduated from Endicott High School in 1943. He married Lenora B. Carlson at Selbu Lutheran Church November 29, 1947 after meeting through mutual friends in Spokane. They lived in Colfax where they operated the Top Notch Café for a couple years before starting to farm on the Parvin road. After six years, they moved to the Moore home farm near Endicott and Dusty where Don kept busy farming throughout all his years. They moved to the Carlson farm, where Lenora had grown up. Two of their children began taking over more of the farming operation and Don and Lenora built a home in Colfax in 1987. They sold the home and then moved to Hillray Plaza. Lenora passed away on February 7, 2009 after 61 years of marriage to Don.

He also played the bass guitar in a gospel band that led services at the Union Gospel Mission of Spokane. He was a member of the Washington Wheat Growers and also the Washington Farm Bureau. He enjoyed restoring engines and playing his acoustic guitar and harmonica. Don loved spending time with his family and taking his 3 boys camping at Buffalo Hump in ID. He liked to fish some but really loved working on the farm. He was instrumental in the formation of JP PIES for his great-grandson JP Kimmell.
