Mr. David Wayne ” Tootall” Moore, Sr., who was 61 years old, sadly passed away on November 26, 2025, at his home in Century, Florida. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri, but grew up in Fort Lauderdale. For the last forty years, he made his home in Century, where he was a cherished part of the community. His life touched many, and he will be remembered fondly by those who knew him.
He enjoyed spending time in the garden, where he found peace and happiness nurturing plants. As a big fan of sports, he proudly cheered for teams like the Miami Dolphins, NWE Chiefs, Century Blackcats, and Indianapolis Colts.
