CUNNINGHAM — Brett R. Moore, 54, passed away of natural causes on July 7, 2025, at his residence in rural Kingman, Kan. He was born June 6, 1971, in Great Bend to Darrell J. “D.J.” and Patricia (Shrauner) Moore. 

Brett attended kindergarten in Kingman and elementary and high school in Hoisington, graduating in 1989. He continued his education at Hutchinson Community College majoring in Farm and Ranch Management, graduating in 1991. His lifetime desire was to farm and that is what he did for the rest of his life. 

Brett was an active member of the community, serving for several years on the township board as well as trustee of the Penalosa United Methodist Church. His church membership was still in the Hoisington United Methodist Church, the church of his youth, but he had always attended Penalosa Methodist in the summers and after he started farming.

Survivors include his mother, Patricia Moore of Hoisington and rural Cunningham; long time friend, Jean Volk of Hutchinson, and right-hand man for years, who was intrusted with major farm decisions, Prisciliano De Santiago of rural Cunningham. He was preceded in death by his father and infant twin siblings, Phillip J. and Peggy K. Moore.
