The Chattanooga community is mourning the unexpected death on Thursday of General Sessions Court Judge Bob Moon at the age of 60.
A Chattanooga native, he was a graduate of the University of Tennessee. He earned a law degree from Memphis State Law School.
He practiced law in Hamilton County and was a judge in Signal Mountain for 13 years. Moon was appointed Hamilton County General Sessions Court judge in 1996. He was elected to the post in 1998 and re-elected in 2006, without opposition.
Moon was conscientious in his judicial duties and strove to do the right thing.
He was an idealist, a gentleman of good character and a sincere Christian.
