The community of Defiance reels from the loss of Julian and Jamison Keiser, whose bright spirits were extinguished far too soon. Their absence leaves a hollow ache in the hearts of relatives, friends, and neighbors alike. The boys’ mother and grandparents survived the explosion, but the pain of losing two children is a burden impossible to bear alone.
Support has poured in from all directions—friends, local businesses, and strangers united in grief and compassion. A fundraising effort has raised significant funds to assist with funeral expenses and to help the family begin the long road to healing. The memory of the boys lives on, a reminder of fragile joy and the preciousness of each moment.
