It is with the deepest heartache and most incredible love that we share the news that 22-year-old Colton Moore passed away on Thursday, October 23rd, 2025. Colton passed away peacefully – surrounded by friends and family – after a long journey with Ewing Sarcoma.

Colton and his family joined the Bert’s Big Adventure family in 2014, and continued to bring joy and laughter to our community at family reunions ever since. His natural charisma and quick wit made him a true magnet, drawing people in with his infectious humor and the sheer joy he found in talking about anything, especially his beloved sports. (Particularly the University of Alabama.)

More than just funny, he was wildly genuine, and his capacity for laughter and conversation made everyone feel connected and comforted. The bright, funny, and warm spirit of Colton will remain a cherished memory for all who knew him at Bert’s Big Adventure and beyond. He will be deeply missed.

“Cancer didn’t win, our baby boy did. Go REST high on that mountain baby boy, your work on Earth is done. You are cancer free, no more suffering or pain. Mama & Dad will see you soon. Forever our Hero, Our Baby Boy, Our Fighter, Our Strength. We love you so much & missing you terribly”

– Colton’s mom, Kristi McMickle Moore

Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers as they grieve.
