Tommy Ray Moorefield, 84, of Hughesville, MD (formerly of Clinton, MD) passed away peacefully on December 18, 2024.

He was born on January 29, 1940, in Clover, VA to the late Tommie Lee and Rosa Erma Moorefield.

Tommy Ray left the family farm in Scottsburg, VA in 1960 to begin a distinguished 42-year career with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington, D.C., then extended an additional 15 years with BAE Systems before fully retiring in 2019. He completed his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Maryland in 1976. He also served for 5 years in the Army National Guard of Virginia, receiving his Honorable Discharge in March 1965.

On July 30, 1966, he married the love of his life, Dorothy Garner "Dottie" Moorefield, at St. John Francis Regis Catholic Church in Hollywood, MD, celebrating nearly 48 wonderful years of marriage before her passing in June 2014. Together they enjoyed casinos, antiquing, cruises and traveling the world. Tommy Ray selflessly volunteered countless hours in his community, most notably with the Clinton Boys and Girls Club as a youth coach and board member for over 20 years.
