Thomas A. Moss crossed the bridge of time into eternity to be with the Lord Jesus on Saturday, January 15, 2022. Tom was a loving brother, brother-in-law, and uncle to many nieces and nephews. Tom was born on June 25, 1961 in Thermopolis, Wyoming to Alan and Betty Moss. He was their fourth child of eight. Tom graduated from Apopka High School in June of 1979 and joined the United States Navy December 4, 1979. He was stationed on the U.S.S Dwight D. Eisenhower as an electrical engineer. He was very proud to have served his country and was honorably discharged July 28, 1981.
Tom loved being around his large family and many nieces and nephews. He had great love and care for them all. Tom accomplished a lot in his life. In his earlier years, he played the violin, and learned to play “Turkey in the Straw”. He later developed a gift of sketching with colored pencils. He joined many bible studies and shared the word of Christ with many. He traveled extensively thought out the United States and abroad, which included Jamaica, Philippines, Israel, China and other places to spread the gospel.
He particularly loved going to Walt Disney World to evangelize. Tom was often seen driving his 2002 Toyota truck all over Florida accumulating over 585,000 miles! He always kept his truck keys close by, along with many other keys.
Tom leaves behind 4 brothers, 3 sisters, 17 nieces and nephews, and 13 great nieces and nephew. Most of all Tom loved the Lord Jesus and His eternal word. The Lord’s word was inscribed in his heart and spoken to many.
Tommy is gone from this earthly realm but will never be forgotten in the hearts of his family and friends.

Rest in Peace Tommy!! We had so much fun going to Darter basketball games together! Soar with the angels, Tom! You will never be forgotten 💗
Tommy was an awesome brother-in-law. He went the extra mile to make sure people knew he cared. He would give the shirt off his back if he thought someone needed it. He always loved his nieces and nephews. I remember him reading to the boys when they were young and sending cards. He will be missed by all. May he now have the most beautiful life he always wanted. He deserves to be with the Lord now. God Speed to our family.
