John H. Moon, Sr. went to be with the Lord on December 7, 2022. He was born on August 19, 1937 in Van Buren, Arkansas. His dad was a minister and later a farmer. His family left Arkansas when he was six months old. The family moved to Oklahoma, then Kansas, and then Robstown, Texas. John began his business career selling tomatoes for 25 cents a bag. When the opportunity came after school hours, he drove tractors and combines. A strong work ethic was instilled in him and he advanced rapidly through school. He graduated from Robstown High School at the age of 16, enrolled in Delmar Jr. College and graduated with an Associate of Arts degree. From there, he went to Texas A & I University, which later became Texas A & M University-Kingsville, where he majored in Accounting and Finance and received his BBA degree with honors at the age of 20. When he was 21, he passed the CPA exam to become the youngest CPA in Texas history.

John's extensive banking and business career began with Texas Eastern Transmission, Houston Research Center, and then Main Bank in Houston with former Houston Mayor Bob Lanier. From there, he became part owner of Northeast Bank and full owner by the age of 33. He purchased controlling interest in Pasadena National Bank. After he sold it, he was CEO of five other financial institutions before selling them and forming Moon Capital Corporation and Moon Credit Corporation. He was instrumental in the creation of Beltway 8 East and involved in the groundbreaking ceremony. John was also a lifetime member of the Texas Rangers.

John was preceded in death by his parents, Benjamin and Alma Moon, and siblings.

John loved his family and his Lord, and his life was a testimony to that. John is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Rose Moon; sons John H. Moon, Jr., and Randy Moon and wife Kim; grandchildren John H. Moon, III and wife Vennessa, Lindsay Moon Poage and husband Carter, Donovan Moon and wife Julia, Ryan Moon and wife Lacy, and Kyle Moon and wife Calli; great-grandchildren Violet Poage, Lori Moon, Henry Moon, Iris Poage, and Wilder Moon.
