Dennis Thomas Moser

Dennis Thomas Moser, 61, born August 10, 1964 to Dorothy “Dot” Haymore Moser and the late Cecil Thomas Moser, took his last breath on earth on September 4, 2025, his precious Dot’s birthday, with whom he shared a mother and son bond that was as strong as planted roots. She was with him as he took his first breath on earth, and held his hand as he took his last. He loved his Dot beyond words and depended on her so very much. Left to cherish his memory are his brother that he loved dearly, Steven D. Moser (Patricia), his “#1 Sis” Amy Moser Snead, and a very special brother-in-law, Eddie Snead, who loved him like a brother. Dennis started working with John W. Daniel Construction at a young age and helped with the construction of the Mall. He later worked side by side with his dad Cecil, learning the craft of painting, often butting heads on how things should be done because both were stubborn as two mules. He learned a lot from Cecil. Dennis was a man of many qualities and interests. He loved music, especially the outlaw Waylon Jennings (his favorite song being “Belle of the Ball”), crossword puzzles, NASCAR racing, baseball (and would tell you that he was one of the best shortstops to ever play the game), and the Miami Dolphins--no team would ever compare to his ‘72 Dolphins. He was an avid reader who loved useless facts. One of his goals that he reached was getting his GED and testing the highest in the state of Virginia. He loved telling everyone that little fact. Dennis could build anything. Even as a child he would tear his toys apart just to sit and put them back together. Dennis loved a good pair of Levi’s from Abe Koplen and a pair of cowboy boots from Franklin’s. With joys in life also come sorrows, and sometimes a person fights demons that they have no control over. Although Dennis was loved by his family beyond measure, he also fought alcohol and drug addiction. When fighting demons, mistakes and regrets are made that affected not just him, but the ones that loved him. During his last days on earth with his “Dot and Sis” by his bedside, he made amends with his Lord Jesus Christ. He confessed his sins and said he was ready to go to heaven. He let us know he was free, and a burden was lifted off of him. Dennis is now walking the streets of gold and his body is healed. Dennis’ biggest accomplishment in his life was his son Marc Thomas Moser who predeceased him, but it was also his biggest regret that he was not a better dad. Marc’s birth was the happiest day of his life. He talked every day about Marc and how much he loved him. Dennis let us know that Marc’s mother Stacy, his former wife, was the only woman he truly loved and one of his mistakes was not being more loving and kind to her. Dennis is also survived by two grandchildren, Madison Moser and Brooklyn Moser; two nieces, Brittany Moser Wyatt and Lyndsey Moser Lamb; four nephews, Joey Overby, Tyler Moser, Andrew Snead and Chase Thomas Snead; three great nephews and two great nieces; one last surviving aunt, Faye Moser Betterton; many cousins; and a very special friend, Wesley Whorley. Friends, don’t wait until tomorrow to do what’s right. Be a better human today. Be kind, give grace and love one another. Be patient with those that are struggling with addiction. Tomorrow is never promised. The family would like to thank the ICU team at Roanoke Carilion Hospital for providing the best care and for treating Dennis with dignity until the very end. They played his beloved Waylon on repeat as he was preparing to meet Jesus. If you or a loved one are fighting addiction, please reach out. Help is available to you, and you are never alone.

The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Wrenn-Yeatts Funeral Homes, North Main Chapel is respectfully serving the Moser family.
