Jamil Moss was born in
Youngstown, Ohio, to Angela Moore and James Moss. Though born in Youngstown, he spent much of his life in the surrounding Warren area and other nearby communities, places he came to know as home throughout the years. Wherever he landed, he brought with him a strong presence, a sense of loyalty, and a heart that made people feel welcome.
He attended Warren JFK, where he played football and proudly earned the nickname "Tank," a name that reflected both his strength and determination. In 2001, Jamil answered the call to serve his country by joining the United States Air Force. He served as an aircraft mechanic, a role that showcased his strong work ethic, technical skill, and deep sense of responsibility. Outside of work, he enjoyed gaming, watching movies, and spending meaningful time with his family. My brother had a clever and mischievous spirit, always finding a way to make things happen in his own unique way. Beneath that, he had the kindest intentions and a heart full of love for his children. He was a protector by nature, devoted to the people he cared about. And above all, he was a passionate fan of THE Ohio State University, always cheering them on with so much pride. Those who knew Jamil best remember his humor, which could fill a room, and a heart that was even bigger. A close friend once described him as having "the most honest soul." Jamil didn't always say what people wanted to hear, but he always spoke the truth-and he did so with kindness and care. He never set out to hurt anyone; his character was rooted in sincerity, loyalty, and compassion. Family was Jamil's greatest blessing, and he loved them with a quiet but unwavering devotion. He was a devoted father, son, and brother, and he will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Though his time here feels far too short, the impact Jamil made will continue to live on through the stories shared, the memories held close, and the love he leaves behind. His legacy remains forever etched in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
God saw that he was getting tired and there was no cure to be, so he put his arms around him and he whispered, "Come with me". With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and saw him fade
away. Although we couldn't bear to lose him, we could not bid him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands laid to rest. God broke our hearts when He proved to us, He only takes the best.
