In Loving Memory of Brother Roy Lee Moore 70 Years of Masonry

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our beloved Brother Roy Lee Moore, a faithful member of King Lodge No. 461 for more than 70 years.

Just last November, we had the tremendous honor of presenting Brother Roy with his 70-year Masonic service pin and certificate at our annual awards banquet. At 94 years young, he stood before his Brothers and shared memories of his Masonic journey, reflecting on the friendships, fellowship, and the impact Freemasonry had made on his life.

It was a special evening that those of us in attendance will not soon forget. We are grateful we had that opportunity to recognize him and thank him for his remarkable dedication to our fraternity.

We ask all Brothers who are able to please join us in paying our final respects to Brother Roy.

The funeral service will begin on Wednesday October 21st at 3:00 PM, officiated by John Davis, followed by a Masonic Committal Service in the Garden of Masonic at Hamlett-Dobson Memorial Park in Blountville, TN.

Brothers attending the Masonic Committal are asked to gather at 3:20 PM.

Seventy years of Brotherhood is an extraordinary legacy. Let us come together one final time to honor a Brother who devoted so much of his life to our Craft.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Brother Roy’s family and friends.

Rest well, Brother Roy. Your work is done, and your memory will remain with us.

Another wonderful evening of fellowship at King Lodge No. 461!

Tonight, we had the pleasure of raising Brother Gary Lee Kaylor Jr. to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason. Congratulations, Brother Gary, on reaching this important milestone in your Masonic journey!

A special thank you to Brother Clarence Crump for conferring the degree and to all the Brothers who helped make the evening memorable.

We were especially pleased to welcome visitors from five neighboring lodges, with 30 Masons in attendance. It is always a blessing to see Brothers from across our area come together in friendship, fellowship, and support of one another.

King Lodge has been blessed with tremendous growth this year, and evenings like this remind us that the strength of Masonry is found in the Brothers who come together to keep its traditions alive.

Congratulations again, Brother Gary! We look forward to the years of fellowship and service ahead.

It was a great night of fellowship at King Lodge No. 461 as we welcomed a new Brother and initiated him as an Entered Apprentice Mason.

We have truly been blessed this year with tremendous growth in our Lodge, along with many opportunities to serve our community through charity, fellowship, and good works.

It is always encouraging to see new Brothers beginning their Masonic journey and our Lodge continuing to grow stronger. We look forward to helping our newest Brother as he takes his next steps in Masonry.

A special thank you to all the Brothers who came out, took part in the degree work, and helped make it another memorable evening at King Lodge.

Always a great night when our Brothers from Shelby Lodge No. 350 in Ohio come to town!

They make the trip down every year for the race, and it has become a King Lodge tradition to take them out for a good meal while they’re here. Tonight we headed back to Southern Craft BBQ and treated them to those massive butcher plates.

Southern Craft definitely put out a spread for us tonight. The food was outstanding, but the fellowship around the table was even better.

We always enjoy catching up with these Brothers and look forward to their visit every year. Good food, good fellowship, and Brothers from two states gathered around the same table. That’s what Masonry is all about.

Safe travels to our Ohio Brothers, and we’ll see you again next race!
