Jessica Dawn Moses, 40


Jessica Dawn Moses,

    Jessica Dawn Moses, age 40, of Irvine, Kentucky, departed this life on Friday, April 8, 2022, at the Baptist Health Care of Richmond, Kentucky.
    Jessica was born on August 13, 1981, in Richmond, Kentucky to the late Danny Hensley and Teresa L. Moses.
    Along with her parents, Jessica is preceded in death by her grandfather, Jim Reynolds; two uncles, Ray Moses and Ron Profitt; and one aunt, Debbie Reynolds.
    Although Jessica’s death was unexpected, and ruled a heart attack, she struggled with drug addiction for many years. But Jessica had a good compassionate heart and made the decision to become an organ donor. Through her death she was able to donate four of her organs to Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, (KODA). Jessica gave the gift of a second chance at life to four other people. Although our family is grieving, four other families are rejoicing! For this, I am proud of my niece, Jessica Dawn Moses. C.S. Lewis once stated, “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” Thank you, Jessica, for ending well.
    Survivors include her children, two sons, Austin Kidd and wife Codi Carroll of Berea, Josiah Moses of Irvine, and one daughter, Cheyenne Kidd of Berea; one grandson, Talon Kidd; two sisters, Heather Estes and Michelle Osborne and husband Tim, all of Irvine, Kentucky; and her grandmother, Janice Reynolds.
    Graveside funeral services for Jessica Dawn Moses will be conducted on Thursday, April 14, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. at the Reynolds Family Cemetery in Irvine. Brother John Abner will officiate.
    Pallbearers will be Austin Kidd, Tim Osborne, Trinity Osborne, Jerry Stone, Jeff and Joe Woosley.
