KENT HOWARD "KENTWARD" MOSS

KENT HOWARD "KENTWARD" MOSS, 61, of Fort Wayne, passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 29, 2018, after a long battle with a variety of illnesses and debilitating diabetes, with his brother Parker at his side. Born on Dec. 24, 1956, he was a son of the late Lindy and Jeanne whom he was very close with. "Kent spent many hours with our dad after our mom passed away, routinely making the time to have dinner with dad several times a week." Kent was a truly gentle soul who above all things he loved his nieces and nephews, Taylor Moss, Jordan Moss, Rachel Moss, Carolyn Moss, and Grayson Moss. His love for family will be his greatest legacy. Kent suffered greatly the last few years of his life but was incredibly tough and rarely complained. Kent graduated from Snider High School and attended Indiana University. He was a lifelong IU fan, especially enjoying football and basketball. He was also a big fan of the Cincinnati Reds MLB team and the Indianapolis Colts. Last but not least, Kent loved the many animals owned by family over the years. Kent had a keen interest in horticulture, growing and sharing his bounty with friends, but his big passion was music. He learned to play the drums at an early age, and participated in several different bands throughout his life. He was a prolific writer, graphic artist, and frequent poster on Facebook providing entertaining, insightful commentary on the issues of the day. He leaves behind his brothers, Kirby (Barb) Moss, Parker (April) Moss and Paul Moss; nieces, nephews, many friends, and memories of good times, motorcycles and IU stories and experiences. Kent never expressed a desire for memorials in his name, "but we are confident," he would appreciate donations to the IU Varsity Club or the donor's local S.P.C.A. No formal service. A celebration of Kent's life is from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 10, 2018, at Green Frog Inn (his favorite watering hole), 820 Spring St., Fort Wayne.
