Sanders Lloyd Moffit was born March 21, 2012, at Mercy Hospital in Iowa City the son of Hunter Moffit and Elisha Ronan Moffit. During his short life with us he grew in to a super hero to many, one that enjoyed much in his life. He loved to sing and dance to U Tube, to eat spaghetti O’s and chicken nuggets , ride 4-wheelers, do arts and crafts especially painting, throw and catch balls, go for car rides, play with his dog, Flash or his newest pet, Gilbert the cat; and wear his cowboy boats, (sometimes that was all he was wearing). He was known to find a way to get his way, he loved his family dearly, feeling most comfortable lying next to mom and playing with her hair. Sanders would smile when he got his vanilla ice coffee to start off his morning, and shout for joy when the day included a ride to Dairy Queen for dish of ice cream with Butterfinger on top. We only had a few short years with Sanders, but he left his mark on our lives for a lifetime! Sanders family includes his parents, Elisha and Hunter; brothers, Ronan and Jacoby; grandparents, Daniel Ronan, Lynn and Sherry Moffit; great-grandparents, Wanda and Jim Ronan, and Doris Lockridge; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and great-aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Sandy Ronan. Sanders was such an inspiration to all and he brought so much love and joy to everyone around him.
