August 1, 1947 – July 15, 2025

Guy Moss was a husband, father, grandpa, great-grandpa, brother, uncle, son, cousin, pilot, fireman, boatsman, hunter, skiier on both water and snow, fixer of all things, and a spectacular friend. He departed this temporal world after a long and valiant fight with cancer; loving wife and children by his side. He would have liked another day on the boat, another engine to fix, another chance to say and hear “I love you”.

Guy was born in Sacramento, and moved permanently to Lake Tahoe in 1962 after spending summers since 1952 with his family in Zephyr Heights where his father, Haven Moss, helped build the neighborhood roads and grow the community. After graduating Whittell High School in 1965, Guy honorably served for two years with the Airforce Reserves. Following the Airforce, Guy began 34 years of service with Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District, retiring in 2000 as a deeply respected Division Chief. Guy attained his Associates degree later in life, furthering his demanding curiosity for gained knowledge. He posessed an unwavering drive to be of service, and shared his time and expertise unsparingly on behalf of Zephyr Heights GID, the local Civil Air Patrol and any fellow human he came across in need. He was a prominent and active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in South Lake Tahoe, and was beloved for his generous service.

Guy loved Lake Tahoe.
He shared its rich history, storied tales, knowledge of flora and weather patterns, and anything else someone was lucky enough to ask.

Guy loved adventure.
He flew his own plane, drove boats as fast as they would go, competed in the Iron Dog snowmobile races in Alaska, treked an annual moose hunt with brother Randall, beach-start waterskiied from his beloved Round Hill Pines beach, and snow mobiled the crest with anyone daring enough to join.

Guy loved fixing things.
The hum of an engine was the soundtrack of his life. His mind couldn’t rest until the intricate puzzle of a motor had been repaired back to perfect harmony. If you commandeered Guy with a specific engine problem, it would come back repaired including additional things you weren’t aware were broken. Guy’s garage was packed with the stuff of toolbox legend, and on the improbable chance he didn’t have the exact right part or tool, he’d make one.

Guy loved with his whole heart.
His family was the joy of his life. His children and grandchildren creating meaningful lives was a source of great pride, and becoming a great-grandpa was a gift beyond measure. He felt honored and blessed by the love of his family and his devoted wife Rosey. Guy loved his Tahoe community and served anywhere needed with generosity and grace. Guy was a thoughtful and giving friend, and his whole heart was shared tirelessly with those he cherished.
Guy is preceeded in death by his parents, Haven H. Moss and Evelyn Taylor Moss Hansen, sisters Margo and Sherrill, father-in-law Jamie Harbin, mother-in-law Lillie Harbin and brother-in-law Robert Harbin. Guy is survived by his wife Aliecia Rose Moss; three children Gary (Karen), Byran, Stephanie (Matt); grandchildren Allison, Grant (Jessica), Thomas, Elizabeth, Christopher (Brittany), Joshua (Lizzy), Melissa and two great-granddaughters, Evelyn and Oaklynn; brother Randall (Sharon); two sisters-in-law Gail and Margie.
We would have enjoyed another boat ride with you at the helm, another hug so full of love, another chance to watch you repair one more engine. You taught by example how to be kind to your fellow man; everyone you’ve selflessly helped will pay it forward in your honor. Guy Moss, you are deeply missed.
