Funeral Services Thursday For Traeger Moore, Toddler Who Drowned In Elwood Pool

JOLIET, IL - A memorial visitation is set for 3 p.m. Thursday at the Tezak Funeral Home for Traeger Moore, the little boy from Elwood who downed Saturday afternoon in a tragic backyard swimming pool accident. He was two months shy of his second birthday. According to Tezak's, the visitation will last until 6:30 p.m. when the funeral service will take place inside the chapel, which is located at 1211 Plainfield Road.

Traeger's obituary noted that he constantly smiled and how he "loved super heroes, especially Captain America, guitars and the Chicago Blackhawks. He was an adventurous, strong, legendary son and grandson who will be deeply missed by all who knew him."

Traeger's most immediate survivors include his mother, Jennifer Rafac, his father Alan Moore, and two older brothers, Rusten and Syler Deihs.

The Will County Sheriff's Office is continuing to investigate the circumstances of Traeger's death. The child's godmother indicated that the boy's mother was at work on Saturday and Traeger apparently climbed a ladder and fell into the pool, in the 19000 block of Elwood's Raymond Drive. Another adult relative at the home tried to revive Traeger, but was unsuccessful. The little boy was later pronounced dead at Presence Saint Joseph's Medical Center.
