FRAMINGHAM, MA –

David Alan Moore, 64, of Framingham, passed away unexpectedly at home on Thursday, February 1, 2018 from cardiac arrest. He was born on June 27, 1953 in Belfonte, PA, the beloved son of Norma (Davidson) Moore and the late Jesse Ad Moore.

David was a brilliant man of many talents. His thirst for knowledge earned him a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Salem State University and a master’s in Occupational Therapy from Tufts University, which he used extensively in hospital and rehab settings. For a number of years, he had a private practice with an emphasis on stress management and psychogenic illnesses. He also was as a clinical hypnotist.

As a certified comprehensive life coach, his business “Moore Success: customized coaching,” improved and enriched the lives of his numerous life-coach clients. His other business the “Sewing Sorcerer” allowed him to use the many sewing skills he learned at a young age from his very talented mother, Norma.

David was also an Origami Master, delighting in creating very intricate pieces, which he gave away as gifts. He shared this talent in workshops, inspiring people of all ages.
