He was raising a family in Islip, where neighbors are now paying their respects.
"It's like a bad dream. It's like. Things like this aren't supposed to happen," said Bobby Mason. "He was such a great guy..such a family guy..with his kids..out there putting the lights up."The bunting ceremony is planned for 10 a.m.
Aside from his work with the FDNY, Moon was also a former chief in Islip. The heaviness has cast a shadow over the holiday with bunting lining his street. Flags are also flying at half-staff. Moon's death is that much harder to take in Islip, because it is the second time this year one of their own was fatally injured in the line of duty for the FDNY.. Gerhard was also a volunteer from Islip.
Meanwhile, Moon leaves behind two young children. His wife released a statement read by FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh on Friday. "His love and passion for the job extended far from the firehouse walls. He instilled that same passion in our children and always talked about how important it was to help others," she said.
