David Lee Moss, 79, was born on September 20, 1945 at his home in Elijah Missouri and went home to be with the Lord on March 8, 2025 in West Plains Missouri.
D.L. was raised in the country with four siblings and started his adventurous life by buying a car at seventeen and taking off to California, Texas and other places.
His adventures didn’t stop in 1969 when he married Doris, on the contrary they had just begun. They loaded their school bus and went exploring. Luckily his talents such as painting signs, tattooing, training horses, building trailers, building saddles, making jewelry and much more were done all over the United States with Doris by his side.
D.L. Is survived by his wife Doris, his daughters Rhonda and Devona; surviving sisters Betty and Loretta; granddaughters, Kaitlin and Kellsie, and great granddaughter Wrenlee.
He is preceded in death by his parents Alonzo and Alice, sister Anita and brother Lonnie.
It was well known that D.L. loved plants and flowers. Flowers will be accepted with love, but there is also a link that we have listed so that you might do donations. Here is the link that you can send your donations to help the family also; Benefit Auction for DL Moss facebook.com
