John Franklin Mosley, Sr., a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, and brother was called home to glory on Sunday, July 26, 2020. Born 75 years ago on March 17, 1945, he was the son of the late Ella Lee Mosley.
John’s educational background began in the public schools of Duval County. John enlisted in the United States Marine Corps on January 21, 1964. A very proud decorated combat veteran, John received recognition as a Sergeant during the Vietnam War resulting in four years of active service.
In 1990, he met his wife Angela Joyce Gamble. They were united in marriage on June 28, 1991. They were blessed with three lovely children, Ce’teria Mosley (David), Kimberly Mosley, and John Mosley. This union lasted for 25 years until her death on February 24, 2016. John’s life was dedicated to helping others and providing for his family, he was an all-around superhero to his children. John was a renaissance man and there was nothing that he couldn’t fix.
John accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. He became a dedicated member of Tru-Way Church of the Risen Christ, serving under the leadership of Pastor Elwyn W. Jenkins. A devoted disciple of God, his heart was truly to serve God with all his mind, soul and strength.
John was a unique, faithful and dedicated man; one who deeply loved his children. He was loved by many and he will be truly missed.
God makes no mistakes. He looked down from heaven and saw that John’s soul was tired and weary. God then looked at his record and saw his dedication and faithfulness to him and decided to bring him home to paradise to stay, leaving the impression that his family will walk in his absence and love one another the way he loved God and them.
