It is so hard to read that Moss passed. Does anyone know how. What a cutie he was. Even though his stature was small he always stood out which was not easy with the crew he hung out with. I'm sure he is resting in peace.

Moss was such a great guy, always smiling with a great sense of humor. "Friends of Moss Fetzer" contributed to the University of Texas in his name and there is the most beautiful life size bronze statue of him at the University of Texas Alumni Center. He is holding up a "Hook Em Horns" and smiling that wonderful smile. It is such a close likeness of him that it is at once strangely sad and also happy as though he's standing right there. I don't have a photo to post but maybe someone else does. He loved UT and had many friends and was well liked. I enjoyed seeing him on campus and at football games. It was nice to have that connection of MHS in such a big university.

Moss was a great guy and is sorely missed. I have so many fond memories of Moss from middle school through college. I remember when he got his first set of wheels in gold! I know the reunion won't be the same without him. He was awesome. I have lot's of pictures of him, some of which i sent in. Rest in peace, Moss.

I remember the first time I met Moss. Spring Branch Junior High in 7th grade. We had a Social Studies class together and I really didn't know him. One particular day I happened to wear yellow corduroys to school. Moss took one look at me and said, "what happened...did you pee in your pants?" Everyone laughed. I didn't at first, but he was just sitting there with that you-know-what-eating grin on his face. I ended up laughing, too. I never wore the pants again, but made a good friend in exchange. Still think about him from time to time and still can't believe he's gone. Heart of gold and just a great guy. Rest easy, my friend.

I found out about his death from this site. I've thought about him from time to time and can't believe he's gone. I think the last time I saw him, he beat me in a pick up game at Chapelwood Church. He was a great guy and always fun to be around.
