Mr. Earl Webster Moffett

Earl Moffett was born August 5, 1947, to the union of Hamilton and Virginia Moffett in Kansas City, Missouri. He moved to Raytown, Missouri with his wife and first daughter in 1972, where he lived until his passing.

Earl was a proud Boy Scout, earning the honor of Eagle Scout. Known as “Little Living Cedar” in Tribe of Mic-O-Say, he earned his claws the hard way. He was a graduate of Westport High School and attended St. Paul’s Episcopal Church growing up. He married his wife and life partner on February 17, 1968 before moving to Raytown where they raised their two daughters. His three “girls” were the joys of his life. He was also proud to be a member of Pipefitters Local 533, working in the HVAC industry for nearly 4 decades.

Earl Moffett departed this life on Thursday, February 11, 2021. He was preceded in death by his father, Hamilton Moffett; his mother, Virginia Moffett, and his youngest daughter, Carrie Moffett.

He leaves to cherish his memory; his wife, Linda Moffett of Raytown, MO; daughter, Andrea Hanson (George) of Raytown, MO; brother, Laird Moffett (Cerylle) of Alexandria, VA; grandsons, George and Eidur; and a host of other relatives and friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to JDRF in the name of Earl Moffett.

A light went out on earth,

The day we said goodbye

And on that day a star was born,

The brightest in the sky

Reaching through the darkness

With its rays of purest white

Lighting up the Heavens

As it once lit up our lives

With beams of love to heal

The broken hearts you left behind

Where always in our memory

Your lovely star will shine
