Published by Legacy on Sep. 10, 2025.
It's with a heavy heart that the family of Jesse Thomas Moseley, Jr., 87, of Poquoson, Virginia, share that he peacefully passed away on September 8, 2025 surrounded by his loving family. A service will be held to honer his life at St. Timothy's Anglian Church in
Poquoson, at a later date.

Born in Augusta, Georgia, to the late Jesse T. Moseley and Marjorie Sasser, Jesse lived a life marked by service, devotion, and love.
Jesse will be dearly missed.

Jesse is survived by his loving wife, Jill R. Moseley; his daughters, Sharon (Victor) and Kaye (Mel); his son, Gene (Bettina); seven grandsons; one great granson, three granddaughters; and seven great-granddaughters, with one great-grandbaby on the way. He is also cherished by his special cousins, Rebecca and Eva-Anne; his dear friends, Steve, Ronnie, and Donnie; and his beloved St. Timothy's church family.

He proudly served 26 years in the United States Air Force, where he earned numerous honors, including the Meritorious Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters, the Air Force Commendation Medal with two oak leaf clusters, the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with two oak leaf clusters, the Air Force Good Conduct Medal with one silver and one oak leaf cluster, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal with four oak leaf clusters, the Air Force Longevity Service Award Ribbon with one silver oak leaf cluster, the NCO Professional Military Education Graduate Ribbon with a silver oak leaf cluster, the Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon, and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal. His military career was a testament to his discipline, dedication, and courage. Beyond his service, Jesse found joy and peace in fishing, a lifelong passion that reflected his love of the outdoors. Above all, his greatest pride and deepest devotion were reserved for his family, who meant more to him than anything else in this world.

A celebration of Jesse's life will be held Saturday September 20,2025 at St Timothy's Anglican Church in Poquoson, Virginia at 4:00pm.

Jesse will be remembered for his service to his country, his love of family, his faith, and his quiet strength.
