In Loving Memory of Moses James Michael French
With profound sorrow and heavy hearts, we remember Moses James Michael French, a beloved father, son, and friend whose life was tragically cut short in the early morning hours of February 19 in Bullhead City. He was 40 years old.
According to the Bullhead City Police Department, officers responded around 3:25 a.m. to a report of a vehicle versus pedestrian collision near Highway 95 and Hancock Road. Authorities say an unknown vehicle struck Moses while he was in the roadway and fled the scene before emergency personnel arrived. Moses was pronounced deceased at the scene.
As the investigation continues and officials work to identify the driver involved, today we pause to focus not only on the tragedy of that morning, but on the life Moses lived and the love he leaves behind.
A Devoted Father
Above all, Moses was a father. Family members shared their heartbreak publicly, revealing that he had planned to see his son later that very day. That detail — so simple, yet so powerful — speaks volumes about who he was. He was a man who looked forward to time with his child, who made plans, who carried the love of a father in his heart.
Now, that reunion will not happen as intended, and the pain of that reality is immeasurable. The bond between a father and child is one of life’s deepest connections. Though Moses is no longer physically present, the love he had for his son does not disappear. It remains — enduring and unbreakable.
A Life That Mattered
Moses James Michael French was more than the circumstances surrounding his passing. He was a 40-year-old man with experiences, dreams, relationships, and responsibilities. He had people who counted on him, people who cared for him, and people who are now struggling to make sense of a loss that feels both sudden and unfair.
Friends and loved ones describe him as someone who had his own unique presence — someone whose absence will be deeply felt in everyday moments. Whether through conversations, shared laughter, or quiet support, Moses left his mark on those around him.
A Community Seeking Answers
The hit-and-run near Highway 95 and Hancock Road has left the community shaken. There is grief, but there is also a longing for accountability and closure. Authorities continue their investigation, urging anyone with information to come forward.
In times like this, a community’s unity becomes vital. Each shared memory, each word of support, and each act of cooperation helps carry a grieving family through unimaginable pain. Justice, when pursued, is not just about answers — it is about honoring the value of a life lost.
Remembering His Legacy
Moses’ life may have ended too soon, but his story does not end here. His memory lives on in his son, in his family, and in the countless moments that defined him beyond a single tragic event.
He will be remembered for his love as a father.
He will be remembered for his presence as a friend.
He will be remembered as a man whose life had meaning.
Grief is a journey that unfolds one day at a time. For those mourning Moses, may there be comfort in the outpouring of support. May there be strength in shared memories. And may there be peace in knowing that he was loved.
Forever in Our Hearts
In Bullhead City, the loss of Moses James Michael French leaves a void that cannot be filled. Yet his spirit endures in the hearts of those who knew him best.
May he rest in eternal peace.
May his family find comfort and courage in the days ahead.
And may his son always know how deeply he was loved.
Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
