John Richard Moseley

John Richard Moseley, a devoted servant of God and a beacon of love and wisdom in his community, entered into eternal rest on February 7, 2026, in Austin, Texas. Born on July 20, 1935, in Rochelle, Texas, John's life was marked by an unwavering faith, a commitment to his family, and a distinguished career in civil engineering.

"John" was born to Mary Jo and Robert "Bob" Richard Moseley in Rochelle, Texas. He grew up on his family's farm attending local Rochelle schools, playing sports and graduating as valedictorian of Rochelle High School in 1953. His path led him to Texas Tech University, where he not only earned a degree in civil engineering but also married his high school sweetheart, Patricia "Pat" Adams Moseley. Together they welcomed two children, creating a family that would be John's pride and joy.

Professionally, John's first steps were with the Texas Highway Department in Lubbock and San Angelo, Texas. In 1965, a new chapter began as he and his family moved to Houston, Texas, where John joined Brown & Root Engineering & Construction Company. His remarkable 32-year tenure with the company allowed him to traverse the globe, contribute to significant projects, and leave an indelible mark on the industry.

John's faith was the cornerstone of his life, and he served with humility and grace as both a Deacon and Sunday School teacher at Tallowwood Baptist Church in Houston. His commitment to his faith community and the deep bonds he formed there were sources of immense joy and fulfillment. John and Pat's shared love for travel brought them closer to their friends from Tallowwood, and together they crafted a tapestry of cherished memories that would last a lifetime.

John is survived by his daughter, Joanna Moseley Thompson, and her husband Steve of Austin, Texas; his sister Marilyn Waller of Brady, Texas; his daughter-in-law Lisa Schmidt Moseley of Austin, Texas; his beloved grandchildren, John Thompson and wife Katherine, Brian Thompson and wife Madison, Tyler Moseley and wife Victoria, and Travis Moseley, as well as his treasured great-grandchildren, Ellis and Connor Thompson and Olivia Moseley. He also leaves behind nieces Kathy Greetan and Jana Waller; and nephews Greg Waller, David Moseley, Robby Moseley, and Ric Moseley.

John was predeceased by his loving wife, Pat Moseley; his parents, Bob and Mary Jo Moseley; his son, Philip Richard Moseley; his brother, David Lee Moseley; and his grandson, Collin Richard Moseley. Each of them held a special place in his heart, and he cherished the time they spent together.

John's life was a testament to his faith and the love he had for his family and friends. He navigated life's challenges with the same precision and care that he applied to his professional projects, and his guidance was sought by many. His gentle spirit and unwavering kindness will be profoundly missed, but the memories he created will continue to inspire those who knew him. As we bid farewell to John Richard Moseley, we do so with the assurance that he has been welcomed into the loving embrace of his Creator. His was a life well-lived, full of purpose, faith, and love.

The family would like to take this opportunity to express their sincere gratitude to all the doctors, nurses, caregivers, volunteers and Hospice who gave him such wonderful care at Ledgestone Sr Living during his final journey.
