Mr. Robert "Robby" E. Moody

Robert Ernest Moody, 55, of Huntsville, Alabama, passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 15, 2024, at Huntsville Hospital, surrounded by friends and family. Despite being a skilled driver, Mr. Moody experienced a cardiac event while driving that precipitated the catastrophic car crash that led to his death. He had been driving home after jogging on a nature trail, a habit he had maintained for 12 years. Mr. Moody was as generous in death as he was in life: His final contribution was that of organ and tissue donation. Legacy of Hope facilitated Mr. Moody’s gift of life; the Alabama nonprofit coordinates organ and tissue donations for transplant and research.
