Paul Edward Ottobre Moore

Mr. Ottobre Moore was born Jan. 28, 1985 in Roosevelt, Utah. He moved to Alaska as a young child and grew up and received his education in Ninilchik, graduating from Ninilchik High School in 2003.

He enjoyed fishing, snowmachining, snowboarding, four-wheeling and anything to do outdoors.

"Paul was greatly loved by his family and friends. He had such a gentle spirit and was kind natured, having so much happiness to spread throughout everyone's life."

"With fresh snowfall on Friday, Paul took his snowmachine, which was his pride and joy, out for a ride around the house. He was driving too fast up the driveway, went on a jump and collided with a parked car that he hadn't seen. Much of the family was home at the time of the accident and came running to help Paul. He got off his machine, took his helmet off and said he felt bad and laid down."

"Paul looked up and said, 'I love you, goodbye.' He waved and smiled and was at peace."

"Paul will be missed dearly by many friends and family he had. He will live in our hearts forever. Paul, we loved you and now you have gone home. God bless you!" his family said.

Mr. Ottobre Moore is survived by his parents, Patrick and Kathy Ottobre; brother, Joshua Ottobre Moore; and sisters, Aliesha and Kayleana Ottobre; and niece, Trinitie Taylor, all of Ninilchik;

Arrangements were made by Peninsula Memorial Chapel.
