Edward Moses III was born June 20, 1964, and passed from this life at his home in Ames, Iowa, on September 8, 2022. A public visitation will be held on September 14, 2022, at Crossroad Baptist Church (Ames, Iowa), from 12:00 until 1:00 p.m. with a memorial service following at 1:00 p.m.

Edward was born in Ames, Iowa, to Edward and Hazel (DeVoll) Moses. He graduated from Ballard High School in 1982, and was awarded an ROTC scholarship to Iowa State University, graduating in 1986 with a degree in Computer Science.

Upon graduation from Iowa State, he served his country from 1986-1990 as a communication specialist stationed in Germany. During his time in Germany, he witnessed one of the most important events in history when the Berlin Wall came down. As an official representative of the United States of America, however, he was not allowed to take any souvenirs to his disappointment.

After his Army service was completed, he held a position at Principal Financial as an IT specialist. His last job was a temporary accounting position at the Iowa DOT where he was appreciated as an important asset to his team.

Those who knew Eddie say that they never saw him without a smile on his face. Those who love him will remember his kindness, his gentle nature, his sharp intellect, his dry sense of humor and his love and care for his family, especially his brother Jonathan to whom he showed unfailing devotion. When Jonathan was stricken with a stroke and had to live in a nursing facility, Eddie rarely missed a day going to visit and of course playing Farkle--countless times. He gave his time generously to brighten up the days for Jonathan and other residents there. Eddie was also close to his dad spending many days helping him out or just enjoying time together.

When he wasn't playing Farkle, he enjoyed other types of games and spent time gaming with a group of friends. He also showed a creative side as an accomplished home cook and a talented artist.

Eddie leaves behind a family that will miss him terribly: his father, Edward Moses of Knoxville, Iowa; his sisters: Angeleen (John) Geddes of Osceola, Iowa, Susan (Steven) Daniels of Story City, Iowa, Mallika (Alan) Freeman of St. Charles, Missouri; his nephew and nieces, Caleb Geddes, Emily Geddes, Emma (Caleb) Book and Rachel Freeman. He will also be remembered fondly by many other family members and numerous friends.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Hazel, his brother Jonathan, and an infant brother.
