He earned a degree in Meat Sciences at the University of Kentucky and then his doctorate from the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. Danny’s dream of being a veterinarian began at age 11 when he was hired by his mentor Dr. Richard Fuchs to clean up the boarding kennels and later working his way up to assisting with house calls. After graduating from Auburn, Danny began his career in Shelbyville before returning to Louisville to open Moore Veterinary Clinic on Saint Andrews Church Road. He had a long and successful career dedicated to caring for all of God’s creatures both small and large. Danny was a Willie Nelson fan and a talented musician in his own right who never missed an opportunity to share his powerful voice along with his guitar and piano skills. While at Auburn, Danny along with other veterinary students formed The Danny Moore Combo. He won numerous national music awards. Danny was a member of Valley Masonic Lodge. Danny was a kind and generous man who will be deeply missed by so many people in the community whose lives he touched. He left this world to meet his savior Jesus Christ with love in his heart for his family and friends. We will all miss him but take solace in knowing that he has found the peace of eternal salvation. Visitation will be on Sunday, September 25th from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The funeral will be on Monday, September 26th at 11:00 AM with a graveside service to follow at Louisville Memorial Gardens.
