Resided in: Pinehurst, North Carolina

Bruce Parker McMoran, 79, of Pinehurst, passed away on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, surrounded by his family.

Bruce was born in Newark, New Jersey, on June 2, 1946, to the late George and Edith McMoran. After attending the Hill School, Bruce honorably served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps and was a veteran of the Vietnam War. A graduate of the University of Miami and the University of Miami School of Law, Bruce’s passion for justice led him into a career in law, and he founded his own practice, McMoran, O’Connor, Bramley & Burns, which continues to this day.

All who knew Bruce understood his love of the game of golf, which he pursued across multiple continents and courses before settling at the village of Pinehurst for his final years. He was a member of Pinehurst Country Club and had previously been a member of Manasquan River Golf Club, Spring Lake Golf Club, and Raritan Valley Country Club.

Bruce is survived by his wife of 48 years, Lynette, his four children, and many grandchildren. His large number of friends is a testament to his character, kindness, and generosity. 

A celebration of life luncheon is planned at the Manasquan River Golf Club on October 17, 2025, from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m., in accordance with his wishes to rest at the Jersey Shore alongside his parents.
