Michael Harvey Moser

Michael Harvey Moser Easley, South Carolina Michael Harvey Moser, age 72, passed peacefully at his home in Easley, SC while surrounded by his wife and children on December 14, 2024. He was born June 20, 1952, and was raised in Columbia, SC. He played football for the University of South Carolina and after a stint in the Navy taking him to San Francisco, Cape Hatteras, and months at sea, he returned to USC and earned a degree in engineering and was a few credits shy of a second degree in marine biology. He was also pretty proud to hold a patent, the goal of any mechanical engineer. He spent his career in project management but spent his life focusing on and providing for his family. Despite getting a kick out of trying to intimidate people by rarely smiling, he was a kind and funny soul. He loved fishing and had a penchant for catching magic fish that would get bigger each time he told the story of catching one. He loved woodworking, riding his grandkids around on the lawnmower, and sneaking a Wendy’s drive through frosty way more often than he should. He was also a lover of music, something all of his children were blessed to inherit, and was a fan of Harry Chapin, the Mamas and the Papas, the Lovin’ Spoonful, amongst many others. He was incredibly proud of his service to our country and loved to recount his time in the Navy. He adored his wife of 45 years and was always happy to put on his best pair of denim overalls and spoil her with scattered, smothered, and covered hash browns at the Waﬄe House (with a side of bacon, of course, because she has always deserved the very best.) His children were blessed to have him as a father; his love and guidance instilling a work ethic and level of integrity in each of his children that have allowed them to be successful thus far in life. He taught them the meaning of true love by way of his actions and was an example of what a father and spouse should be. “It has got to be the going, not the getting there, that’s good”- Harry Chapin. While getting to heaven wasn’t an easy road in the end as he battled Alzheimer's, God knows the going through life was good because of the man Mike was and how much he was loved and he loved others. He was proceeded in death by his father Bob Moser and mother Sandra Moser. He is survived by his wife, Lessie, two daughters Katie (Kevin) Wilkie and Sally Moser, and son James Moser. He is survived by two sisters, Judy (Tony) Pepper and Marissa (Danny) Eddins, and his twin grandchildren, Banks and Ellis Wilkie. He is also survived by his chosen family: Billy (Teresa) Caldwell, William (Cindy) Hedgepath, Gary (Dawn) Cantelmo, and Randy (Mary Ann) Ogle. Lastly, we would like to thank Cindy Hoy, our earth angel sent by God and assigned to our family by The Family Hospice. Without her compassion, grace and kindness, we may not have survived this process. A celebration of his life will be scheduled at a later date.
