We are very saddened to hear about Dan. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.  Our hearts and prayers are with you.

We are so sorry to hear of your sudden loss. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Shelly, Lauren, Elizabeth.. We love you and Dan more then we can express with words. You have been and will continue to be a perfect example of what family should be. You 3 girls are so strong, kind, determined, thoughtful and FUN.. All that had everything to do with the main man in your life.. He will never be forgotten/ will live in our hearts forever. Thank You for all of the memories throughout the years. We love you and will ALWAYS be here...

Shelly, my thoughts & prayers are with you & your family during this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss. Dan was a great guy & will be missed by all. I worked w/Dan @ Telcom & we all shared many good times back in the day. He always amazed me how he named a song w/just hearing one note...those golden oldies & Jim Freeman!! May he rest in peace..

To the Moss family;

We are always saddened by hearing of a loved one's passing.  As an integral part of a larger family it hurts every time we find another member called to be with the Father in heaven.  Dan Moss was a beacon in a sea of faces at St. Frances Dr Sales, everyone knew of Dan Moss, he had that glowing face and dazzling smile throughout his years at St Frances as well as into his professional career.  I knew Dan as associated with Jim, but these two brothers often appeared at many events in tandem.  

One was never far from the other and they always had each others back.  These are memories from the DeSales days.  In later years Dan would join his   
biological brother along with several DeSales brothers and celebrate the year at the Gentlemen's luncheon at Union Street.  I can still see Dan smiling holding his beer laughing and smiling as he would always be found.  

The Brehler family is sad to hear of the loss for the Moss family and we send our sincere prayers and thoughts as you pass through this experience.  We are sorry for your loss but we do hold hope for your family coming together and bonding during this process.  Ken & Lynn Brehler

Jim, Peggy, Maureen
Such a tough loss! Always considered Dan as a surrogate 
older brother. He helped me learn how to play sports, how to be a paper boy, and once 
even let me sit in the "chair" in the den on Praire to watch Big Time Wrasslin. I always enjoyed the competition between Dan and Jim on the athletic fields(and driveways and backyards), it was fierce, but afterwards there was a lot of love. Dan was very proud of all of you and comfortable wig his place in the family. He had a plan, launched a career, found a good soulmate, became a good father, and lived a good life. It is unfortunate that this good man leaves with a few chips left on the table, but he leaves us as Be better people for having known him. He,and all the Moss's will always and constantly be in my thoughts and prayers.

Shelly please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Dear Shelly, I know no words will be able to comfort you at this great time of loss, just know I am sending love and prayers your way. I am sorry I couldn't be there to give you a hug,but you know I would if I could. My heart aches so much for you and the girls right now. 
Love, Cousin Carolyn

All my thoughts and prayers are with Uncle Dan and his family in their time of mourning.

"Hey Moey" ....  I will miss that fond greeting from Uncle Dan so very much.  He was ALWAYS there, every family function, every St. Patricks Day, and every time I came into town I would hear those two special words that will forever remain in my heart!  I will never forget his laugh, smile or beautiful Irish eyes!  We couldn't have asked for a better Uncle, I will miss him so much!  Lots of Love to Aunt Shelley, Lauren and Liz.

Shelly, Lauren, Liz, and  the extended Moss family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Dan was a beautiful person and always made Tim and I feel welcomed with his wonderful smile.  We feel blessed to have known him. He will be missed and our hearts and prayers go out to all of you. You have a wonderful family, lean on each other for strength to help you move forward.
Love to all of you

So sorry for your loss.  Keeping you all in our hearts and prayers.

Aunt Shelly, Lauren, & Elizabeth, 
Our hearts are so heavy with the loss of a WONDERFUL uncle.  We are so grateful for the special memories we shared with Uncle Dan, especially our "birthday weekends" at your house and our yearly family vacations up north.  Uncle Dan always made his nieces and nephews feel so special, greeting us with a big smile and an even bigger hug...he was always there.  We recently got to enjoy an impromptu evening with Uncle Dan playing Tigers trivia.  Of course he knew all the answers as well as being able to recite the stats from the 1968 season...if only there was a bonus round of what songs topped the charts that year, he would have known that too.  Words cannot express how much we will miss him, but what a treat to have him in our lives.  Much love, Kathleen and Shaun

So very sorry for the loss of our cousin Dan. I am sorry for all of you (and me). However, I am so thankful for our childhood memories we shared, along with all the rest as we aged. Thinking back, I remember Dan going to Papa Mo's house for lunch while attending St. Francis de Sales. I'd go somedays and we would joke about Papa Mo's hard butter, his evaporating whiskey jug, and talk about Mrs. Belke who lived upstairs...we could hear her creaking around, but we never saw the woman. Papa Mo would watch Jeopardy and asked for help. We never could come up with the answers unless the category was MUSIC and Dan would put the contestants to shame. 
Dan loved being with family, especially his own. Whatever family function happened, you knew you'd see Dan ... so loyal. 
Dan loved talking about the past and  I am sure he is reliving some of it with Johnny Hopshaw as we celebrate his life. God speed and God bless, Duff

Shelly, Liz and Lauren - Love lives on in the little things you shared with Dan and you will always treasure the smiles you can never forget.  May God be with you and give you strength during this time.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

So sorry to hear of your sudden loss. Thoughts are with your family at this difficult time.

Aunt Shelly, Lauren and Liz,

I'm so sorry for your loss. Uncle Dan will be missed by everyone. I will especially remember how welcoming he was to me when I first started coming around. Always calling me by name and shaking my hand!  I will miss talking sports, complaining about Leyland, and whichever Detroit team was struggling! I will especially miss getting together for St. Patrick's Day! He would always be decked out for the holiday!  Ill cherish the memories and time I got to spend with him. My dad also sends his condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys! If you ever need anything we are here for you!

Dan was a great guy!!   You could tell the love he had for his girls by the way he spoke about them!!!   We are thinking of you with heavy hearts.

So sorry to hear of your sudden loss.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and pray that the Holy Spirit can provide comfort and peace through family and friends who knew Dan.  He touched so many lives and was a positive influence that will live on.

Shelly, Liz and Lauren ....your wonderful memories of Dan and your strong faith and the family and friends who love you will be your strength as you move on, you will never forget him and he will always be your guardian angel.   Bob and Geri Konon

As difficult as Thursday was, I'm so glad we were all there together to say our goodbyes to one of the greatest uncles anyone could ask for. So many fun memories, from holidays, vacations, my first trip to Disney, and so many more....we'll miss you greatly, Uncle Dan! Lots of love to Aunt Shelly, Lauren and Liz.

My Heart goes out to all of you, Dan was a wonderful person, kind and loving. He was a real good friend for years and I was blessed to have had him in my life for so many reasons. Rest in peace my friend until we meet again.

Heartfelt condolences to the entire Moss family in the untimely loss of Dan. He was a Great Guy !!! May God give you strength and direction in your mourning. My Prayers are ongoing for all of you.
"God Bless"

Dear cousin...how you'll be missed.  So many memories of you; always smiling, always happy, such fun at our family get-togethers.  Shelly, Lauren and Liz.....our hearts break for you with the loss of Dan.  Love and prayers, Ellie.

Shelly, Liz, and Lauren, this picture was taken at our end-of-year handbell party in 2010.  To me it shows Dan's love of sports, love for life, and kind smile.  This is how I will remember Dan.
Praying for your comfort and peace.

Dear Moss Family,  "Danny Boy" Moss (Mom Linsell always called him Danny Boy) will be so missed and remembered. Dan was a FAMILY MAN ... God bless him and his dear family.   My most recent memory is sitting next to him at Holy Trinity this past March for brother Tom's Memorial Mass and then Nemo's for the 'after glow'. Dan and I had quiet time at the bar toasting Tom Moss. We laughed, we cried and had our usual fun reminiscing.  I didn't know that would be our last meeting, but it was very special.  
One personal memory for me as a cousin-in-law, was at my Dad's funeral mass ten years ago ~ seeing Dan running in last minute (red faced and cute) saying he just found out about my Dad's passing when he arrived at work that morning ~ yet he drove from Troy to Dearborn to make my Dad's funeral mass that morning! I never forgot his good deed.   God bless you, dear Dan, you will be forever in our hearts.  Love, Cousin in law Mary Anne xxoo

So sorry to hear of your loss, have such fond memories of our St. John D.C. Trip. It was a fun time hanging out with all of the St. John parents and students. We are praying for your entire family. Lean on God for your strength, he will sustain you...
The Zielinski Family

I read this and thought it was very profound.  I pray that God watches over you and comforts you at this time....

Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other that we are still.
Speak to me in the easy way you always used to.
Put no difference into your tone. 
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow,
laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
let my name be ever the household work that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it.
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you an interval somewhere very near.
Just around the corner All is well.
Nothing is past, nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again....
Until we all meet again...God Bless

Shelly, Lauren and Elizabeth and the entire Moss family ~ we are so sorry for your loss.  The strength of your faith and family will get you through this.  We are praying for all of you.
