Moses Jiggetts passed away on December 18th while on a visit to family in Atlanta, GA at the age of 23. Moses was known to many people of all ages throughout the neighborhood; he attended Lea School and St. Francis de Sales School. He was was one of the first members of the re-chartered Boy Scout Troop 152, achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and continuing with the Troop as an Assistant Scoutmaster. He was an early participant in the Clark Park Youth Soccer League, and when he had passed the maximum age to play, began the tradition of players returning as junior assistant coaches. Moses was involved in many of the musical activities of the neighborhood, including co-hosting The Rotunda's "Gathering" as AG3NT M.O.E.
Moses was always visible around the neighborhood; cruising on his skateboard, DJ'ing block parties on Larchwood Avenue, or instigating the infamous snowstorm football games at Clark Park. He was taken from us by complications of Still's Disease, a rare autoimmune disorder that he had battled since 2004. Those who would like an opportunity to remember Moses and say goodbye are invited to join his family for his funeral Mass on Saturday, January 2nd at Noon, at St. Francis de Sales Church, followed by a potluck lunch and celebration of his life in the school hall.
