Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Dean Randall Moser, of Belton, MO, entered the world on March 27th,1956 in Reading, PA as a remarkable 11-pound baby, and from that point on, never stopped making an impression on the world around him. He left us unexpectedly in the early hours of April 25th, 2026, and while his absence leaves an irreparable hole in our hearts, his legacy lives on.
Dean loved to explore, and he was always up for an “excursion!” He could be found on any given Saturday gardening, napping, watching his grandkids play sports, or taking care of his pool. His lawn chair was well-loved, and he would never turn down a Reese’s peanut butter cup. He always said he never met a dessert table he didn’t like. He made many lasting connections working at Cracker Barrel and volunteering with his church.
We will miss the man who kept us updated about all the malls, highways, architecture styles, weather events, and newest Buc-ee’s locations. We will miss the friend who was always willing to host a pool party or volunteer to keep the neighborhood fed at a Harvester’s food drop or by filling our food pantry. We will miss the grandfather who was always present for school concerts, grandfriends day, school pick-up, trips to the store for Pokemon cards and beyblades, lunches out, rides to practice, and walks up and down the block beside a grandkid on a scooter or bike. His answer to any question concerning being there for his grandkids was always, “I can do that.” We will miss the dad who was always proud of his girls and would brag about them and his sons-in-law any chance he got. And we will miss the husband who always made his wife feel loved, beautiful, and like she was the center of his world; she will especially remember and miss his patience and kindness through every season of sickness and health.
He leaves behind his loving bride of nearly 47 years, Joy Moser, two daughters, Amy Wolff (Mark) and Kelly Wilson (Jay), and three beloved grandchildren, Quinn, Everleigh, and Philippa Wilson. He is also survived by his five siblings Deborah Pauley, Dan Moser (Heidi), Delores Reese (Dave), David Moser (Laura), and Doug Moser (Carol). He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Daniel and Donna Moser; and brother-in-law Dave Pauley.
A celebration of his life will take place on Sunday, May 3rd at 11am at the Belton New Horizons Church of the Nazarene (17200 Chestnut Dr. Belton, MO 64012) with Dean’s favorite meal to follow. Visitation will be between 10:15am and 10:45am. Dean was passionate about the local church – In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Dean’s memory to the ministries of the Belton New Horizons Church of the Nazarene.
We loved him, and we will miss him always.
Nothing but good memories of Dean! (Mr Moser) I remember his smile and laugh and always being kind to my brother and I. And I could always count on him to support his Philadelphia sports teams on FB! You can tell he sure loves his family and was so proud of them. So sorry for this unexpected loss. He is walking with Jesus now, how cool is that. Love you guys!
My deepest thoughts & prayers for the family & his many, many friends. I knew Dean from school; graduated with him (Exeter HS 1974); & was reunited with him thru Facebook. He will be missed dearly!
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Mr. Moser was an awesome man, a great dad, and made me feel more welcome in your house than my own. My thoughts are with you all, in this time of intense grief and loss.
Dean was such a family man. Always with his wife and grandchildren making memories. Posting about a new Buc-ee’s store he visited. He was a hard worker and reliable. Loved to make people smile. He will be missed. I will be praying for his family.
Our sincere condolences to all of the Moser family.
When Dean and Joy moved to KC, they immediately welcomed me into their home for every gathering, meal, and holiday. Dean would always come up with another chair from somewhere in the house and extend the table so everyone could sit together. He was also quick to offer a swimming spot on hot summer days. I always looked forward to working alongside Dean at the Harvester’s food drops. He had great comedic timing, always ready with a witty comment or dad joke. I’m grateful for all of the kindness and support he extended to me the past six years. Love to Joy, Kelly, Amy and family. You are all in my prayers.
On behalf of the Exeter High School Eagles Alumni Assn., we extend our sincere condolences to Dean’s families. God Bless!
My prayers for Dean’s family. I knew Dean from church in Reading, PA.

We met Joy and Dean in 1981 at the Burlington Church of the Nazarene they befriended us and even had a shower for us when we decided to get married, Since then with fb we stayed friends he sure was a funny guy. We appreciated your witnessing to us about Jesus. See you on the other side my friend.

Although we never had the privilege of meeting Dean Moser, we, the Gallagher Bassett team, feel deeply connected to the incredible legacy he leaves behind through his beloved spouse, Joy Moser. Joy has often spoken of Dean’s kindness, strength, and unwavering love for family and friends. It is clear that Dean was a remarkable person who touched the lives of many.
The love and partnership they shared is a testament to the beautiful life they built together, and it is evident that Dean will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
We, as the Gallagher Bassett team, are incredibly sorry for your loss. To Joy and the entire family, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the cherished memories you hold and in the love and support of those around you.
With deepest sympathy,

My deepest sympathy for the Moser family! Dean was loved by many and he will be surely missed had such a kind heart. I remember Joy and Dean from formerly know as the Church of the Nazerne in New Cumberland PA. Is now Table Life Church when they announced they where moving I wanted them to stay here in Pa but I was happy for them to. Prayers sent for the Moser family may God comfort you and give you peace! Heaven has gained an angel!
I met Dean our junior year when my family moved to Reiffton. Dean lived around the corner and we often walked to school together. He was friendly, kind and welcoming.
We later reconnected on Facebook and I loved the pictures and stories he shared. It was obvious that family meant the world to him and he was so proud of his grandchildren and happy with his life.
I was deeply saddened to learn of Dean’s passing. I will keep Joy and their family and loved ones in my thoughts and prayers as they navigate this new chapter. May your memories of happy times together bring you comfort.
Joy,
My condolences to you and your family. Dean and I were in the same unit when I started at GB way back in 2005. He was happy-go-lucky and always ready with a joke. I wish you peace and comfort as you mourn this great loss. You are in my prayers.
I am so brokenhearted to see this. Prayers for the whole family he was a great guy. He will be missed terribly.
Jim and I were so sorry to learn of Dean’s untimely death. Our prayers are with his precious family. He was loved and will be missed by all of us.
We are very sorry to hear about Dean. We knew him and Joy and girls from church and loved him dearly.
