A tragic house explosion in Defiance, Missouri, took the lives of brothers Julian, 4, and Jamison Keiser, 6. Due to extreme weather, they were home when the fire broke out. Their mother and grandparents escaped, but intense flames prevented rescuers from reaching the boys.
Neighbor Sharon Oberlag described them as “the nicest little boys” who loved school. The property owners, Hoffmann Family of Companies, shared their deep sorrow over the tragedy.
A GoFundMe campaign started by Dan Tripp has raised over $145,000 to help the grieving family. Neighbor Laura Emerson placed a wreath at the site, remembering the boys’ joy and love. The community mourns their loss while coming together to support the family.
