Quay E. Moss, 81, of Kings Mountain, NC, passed away on November 20, 2025 at Wendover Hospice House in Shelby, NC. Born November 8, 1944 in Cleveland County, NC, he was the son of the late Lawrence and Gladys Bowen Moss and was also preceded in death by his brothers Jerry Bowen and Dennis Moss and his sister Rebecca Moss Tate. Quay served his country honorably with the US Army and deployed to Vietnam during the war. He was well-known in his community, where he was the longtime superintendent of postal operations with the Kings Mountain branch of the US Postal Service. Quay also spent time as a Commander of the American Legion, was a member of the VFW Post 9811, and was a dedicated supporter of Shriners Hospitals for Children and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. He reveled in the little moments, delighting in time spent fishing with his son, feeding his deer, or cultivating his garden. Quay enjoyed family vacations at Myrtle Beach, where he spent many an afternoon putting away tacos with his daughter Charity at Marvin's. He was fond of building a fire, then passing the time away in front of the fireplace with Janie and the rest of his beloved family. Those he leaves behind will cherish their memories of a devoted husband, loving father, and dedicated grandfather.
