All night wake service for Moses P. Jamison, 22, will be at 6:00 pm, Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the Blue Gym in McLaughlin. A procession will be leaving Kesling Funeral Home at 3:00 pm, Saturday. Burial will take place in Utah. Moses passed away on February 2, 2026, in Wahiawa, Hawaii.
Moses was born in Bismarck, North Dakota, and shortly after his birth moved with his mother, Lorraine, to Delta, Utah, to be with his grandmother and older brother. Delta was always home to Moses, and it is where he grew up, built lifelong relationships, and formed the values that defined him.
He loved the outdoors and found joy in hunting, camping, and shooting, especially during time spent camping with his mom and dad, Robert. Those moments outdoors were some of his most cherished.
Moses shared a special and meaningful bond with his grandparents on both sides of his family. He deeply loved spending time with his Papa Owen and Grandma Sue, from whom he learned many of life’s lessons through conversation, presence, and example. He was also especially close with his Grandma Sherry, who helped raise him in Delta and instilled in him a strong sense of cultural pride. Moses was proudly a “grandma’s boy,” and that connection shaped the person he became.
During his teenage years, Moses shared a close bond with his older brother, Dennis. They spent countless hours playing video games together, trying new restaurants, and exploring new places—experiences that strengthened a connection rooted in laughter, curiosity, and brotherhood.
Moses will be remembered as a kind and inclusive soul, someone who made sure everyone felt seen and welcome. His love language was gift-giving, and he expressed care by making sure no one was ever hungry.
Moses began working at McDonald’s, where he found lifelong friends, mentors, and a sense of purpose. Merle Wall and Savannah Bennett were especially influential figures in his life, teaching him what it meant to be a strong, compassionate leader. Moses often credited them as being like older siblings, and he carried the leadership lessons they taught him into every role that followed—including his service in the United States Marine Corps.
He became a manager at just 16 years old and graduated online at the age of 16, demonstrating maturity, discipline, and drive well beyond his years.
While stationed in Hawaii, Moses developed a passion for drone photography, finding joy in capturing the world from a new perspective. He was fiercely loyal to his friends and family and took great pride in the relationships he built.
Moses had a deep love for language and culture. He spoke fluent Korean and independently taught himself Japanese and Lakota. He was actively working toward his dream of opening a Lakota-inspired restaurant, a vision that reflected his love of food, culture, and community.
Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfathers, Moses chose to serve his country by joining the United States Marine Corps. He was deeply proud of his service and highly accomplished. His final rank and awards will be shared by the family.
Moses will be remembered for his kindness, loyalty, leadership, and the love he gave so freely. His legacy lives on through his family, friends, mentors, and all those whose lives were better for having known him.
Interment with full military honors will take place in Utah. Final burial details will be announced once transportation arrangements are confirmed.
