Moses West

Moses was born April 12, 1955, to the late Rev. Mack and Portis West. He committed his life to Christ at an early age. He joined Mt. Zion #2 CME Church under the leadership of the late Rev. Kirsey. Moses continued to attend church until his health failed.

Moses was known for his compassion and loving heart. He befriended all he met. The word stranger was not in Moses’ vocabulary. He loved living on the land that used to house his childhood home.

Moses adored his grandchildren. He made time to visit with them to absorb their love and laughter.
