Daniel "Dan" Hyde Moss

Daniel Hyde Moss, 91, of Salina, Kansas, passed away on Thursday, October 23, 2025.

Born in Beloit, Kansas, on August 9, 1934, to Eva (Vanschoick) and Leroy Moss, Dan lived a full and adventurous life. In his younger years, he found joy in skydiving and scuba diving around island destinations. He was also a passionate big game hunter and a dedicated collector of firearms.

In 1954, Dan married the love of his life, Berta Timbers Moss. Together, they shared many happy years until her passing in 2022. Dan’s career as a water well driller took him and his family across various states, shaping a life rich in experience and resilience.

Dan is survived by his daughter, Krista Decker (Kurt); sons, Zan Moss (Kerry) and Arden Moss (Jodi); sister, Evelyn Adams; and sister-in-law, Bernita Eberle. He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren: Jordan, Kanah, Preston, Sarah, Janny Tam, Kayli, and Libby; as well as 13 great-grandchildren who brought him immense pride and joy.

He was preceded in death by his parents, beloved wife, Berta, two brothers, and two sisters.

Cremation has been chosen, and a memorial service will be held at a later date to be determined.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the First Baptist Church of Salina, in care of Carlson-Geisendorf Funeral Home.
