Jim Moore, 70, of Helena, MT, passed away on Sept. 22, 2021 from Glioblastoma brain cancer.
Jim was born in Butte, MT in 1950. He grew up working on ranches as a ranch hand in Beaverhead county for various ranches. He loved riding horses, but his all-time favorite job was working for Nabisco. He called his brother Dale and said, “I’ve got the best job ever!” He got to enjoy some of his favorite things every day. That included driving truck, drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes and listening to country music. He eventually stopped smoking but still enjoyed telling everyone that he was a “cookie pusher” and drove the “Oreo Speed Wagon”.
Jim had great humor and enjoyed making people laugh. He loved his home and hobbies that included old cars, fishing and 4-wheeling.
Jim is survived by his daughter, Jamie, brothers, Dale (Rina), Bob (Rosie) and Bill (Joanne), sisters, Elenor, and Miriam, and many nieces and nephews and great-niece and great-nephews.
Jim loved his family dearly and loved his nieces and nephews as his own children.
A memorial service honoring Jim’s life will be held in the spring.
In lieu of flowers memorials can be made in Jim’s name to the American Cancer Society, P.O. Box 22478, Oklahoma City, OK 73123.

Uncle Jim (Shelly), you will be missed. I am one of Jim’s nephews, the son of his brother Bill. As a kid it was always a treat when Uncle Shelly (Jim) visited.

Heartfelt sorrow for the loss of Jim. Our prayers and thoughts go out to his family! Jim was one of the Nabisco brothers and had a gift of gab and had joy in his heart when he talked. He was always willing to give a helping hand on or off the job and you could always count on him. He will truly be missed. He may be gone but will never be forgotten!
Love you Jim!

Who would’ve guessed that Jamie’s job in high school would’ve blossomed into a 25 year friendship for us. RIP dear friend. I’m sorry that this new chaos did not allow us to say good bye properly. Love and prayers to all whose hearts are broken.
