Wallace was born on August 27, 1939, in Beaumont, Texas. He arrived as one of thirteen children born to Henry and Beatrice George Moore.

Wallace was a proud Hebert High School man through and through, and an athletic one too — he played basketball and tennis, carrying that same competitive fire from his school years well into adulthood. He graduated with the Class of 1958, and it was there, in those hallways, that he met the girl who would become the center of his world: Joann Lincoln. He must have known early on that she was the one, because that same year, on November 1, 1958, he married her. What started as high school sweethearts turned into 67 years of marriage — a love that outlasted trends, decades, and tests of time. Their love produced a family Wallace was immensely proud of. Their daughter, Jacquline Delane, arrived in 1959, followed by son Kenneth Wallace in 1964. And then, twenty years later, came a pleasant surprise — son Gerren Dwuane, born in 1980, proving Wallace and Joann still had a few tricks up their sleeve. Along the way, Wallace also gained a bonus son, Dwight, loving him as if he were his very own.

Wallace was a man who worked with his hands and built with passion. He started out at City Clinic in 1958, then spent time with the City of Beaumont Sewer Department before moving into the concrete business in 1963. But it was electric work that truly shaped his path. He worked at Wally's Electric, working his way from delivery man to commission salesman to manager as the company grew into Electrotex. In 1985, he set his sights on new heights and started Wallace Satellite, bringing satellite service to homes across the area at a time when that technology was still new to most people. Through every job, Wallace carried himself with integrity, professionalism, with a stickler's eye for excellence — always on time, always doing it right. He was about his business, and definitely about his money.

Later in life, Wallace traded his basketball and tennis racket for a set of golf clubs, and Texas golf courses became his second home, with daily rounds and tournaments filling his calendar for years. But travel was perhaps one of his greatest gifts to his family — he made it a priority to take his wife and children on yearly trips by car, plane, and ship, and he extended that same opportunity to extended family and friends, making sure everyone he loved had the chance to see the world right alongside him. Together they traveled through Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, New York, Washington DC, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, Hawaii, Colorado, Mexico, and the Bahamas.

Faith and family were the threads that tied his life together. Wallace was a longtime, devoted member of West Tabernacle Baptist Church, and in his younger years, he made it a yearly tradition to pack up the family and drive to Memphis, Tennessee, for the Church of God in Christ Holy Convocation — a trip he looked forward to every single year. He stayed deeply rooted in the community too, was an active member of the Hebert High School Alumni Association and his beloved Class of 1958, The George Family Reunion, and a familiar face at Lakeside Senior Activity Center — where he could be found trash talking at the domino table.

If you knew Wallace, you knew his barbecue. It wasn't just a hobby — it was practically a public service. Wallace fed the city of Beaumont, one plate at a time, and his name became synonymous with good ribs and better company. When he wasn't behind the BBQ pit, he could be found sitting in his favorite chair, in front of the TV, fully invested in a western, the latest NFL or NBA season, or a good tennis match — sports remaining a thread through his life right to the end, just as they had been from the very beginning.

Wallace was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Beatrice George Moore; his brothers, Joseph Moore, Charles Moore, and Henry Moore; and his sisters, Beanna Moore, Francis Williams, Annie Fisher, and Helen Moore.

He leaves behind his loving wife of 67 years, Joann; his daughter, Jacquline Delane (James Harmon); his sons, Kenneth Wallace (Rhoda) and Gerren Dwuane (Lakesha); and his bonus son, Dwight (Judith). He is also survived by his grandchildren, Ashley Nicole, Kenneth Wallace Jr., Kendall Hayden, Ryleigh Marie, Haylee Sophia, Ryson Lee, and Ethan Noah, as well as his goddaughter, Lauren Grace. He leaves behind siblings Edward Moore, Shirley Brown, Richard Moore, Veanna Moore, and Linda Fontenot, along with a wide circle of family and friends who were touched by his generosity, humor, and zest for life.

Wallace Moore lived a full life — one measured not just in years, but in rounds of golf played, miles traveled, plates served, and a love that stood the test of time. Life won't be the same without him.
