Jimmy Wayne Moss

Jimmy Wayne Moss, born on September 26, 1945, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully at his home on October 25, 2024, in Salina. A devoted family man, Jimmy dedicated his life to creating lasting memories with his loved ones. He had a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures in life and was often found fishing or indulging in his culinary passions. Jimmy was particularly fond of cooking and baking, delighting friends and family alike with his homemade breads, dog treats, and muffins. His kitchen was a place of comfort, laughter, and the occasional lighthearted debate, as he loved to argue and often claimed to be right, even when the evidence suggested otherwise. Over the years, Jimmy worked in the construction industry, where his hard work and reliability left a lasting impression on those who knew him. Later, he pursued a new venture by opening a tire shop, continuing his passion for connecting with people in the community. Jimmy’s vibrant personality and loving spirit will be dearly missed. The memories he created will live on in the hearts of his family and friends, serving as a testament to the joyful and meaningful life he led. In this time of sorrow, we remember Jimmy Wayne Moss not just for his passing, but for the warmth and love he brought into our lives—a legacy that will endure forever.
