A house explosion in Defiance, Missouri, claimed the lives of brothers Julian Keiser,
4, and Jamison Keiser, 6. Their mother and grandparents escaped, but the boys couldn’t
be rescued due to the intense flames. Neighbor Sharon Oberlag described them as joyful
and bright, saying, “They loved school and brought happiness.” A GoFundMe campaign has
raised over $145,000 to support the grieving family. Laura Emerson, a neighbor, placed
a wreath at the site, remembering the boys as happy and loved.
