David Moser, 68, passed away peacefully in his home Feb 24th after a hard fought battle with pancreatic cancer. He is survived by his loving wife Barbara Moser, his children William (Lijuan) Moser, Samantha (Kenneth) Carlsen, Aaron (Lindy) Moser, Thomas (Delight) Moser, Allan (Karie) Moser and his 14 grandchildren.

David was born June 16, 1955 in Orange, CA, the son of William Milo Moser and Evelyn Marie Hall. This was the same year and location as Disneyland's opening, and his parents drove across the unpaved parking lot in order to try to induce labor.

His family moved to Washington when he was a baby and he grew up in Pasco, graduating from Pasco High School in '73. David wrestled and played football in high school and enjoyed playing basketball and baseball with his friends. His favorite subject in school was math.

He was a hard worker, and at the age of 16 got his first job at Red Lion as a busboy, but was only there for two days because the workers went on strike. Then he got a job as a delivery boy for a typewriter company, getting paid $1.65 an hour.

David's father, Bill, was a mechanic, and he refused to teach David how to fix a car because he wanted him to go to college. David studied chemical engineering at Brigham Young University and graduated in '77. It was there that he met his wife Barbara Spencer Moser. They were married for 48 years and had 5 children and 14 grandchildren that he adored.

After graduating from college, he became a chemical engineer at Hanford Works in 1977. He moved his family to Tennessee in 1979 to work at the Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Oak Ridge. In 1997 they moved to Idaho Falls where he worked at the Idaho National Laboratory, and in 2009 he moved back to Pasco with his wife to work at Washington River Protection Solutions at Hanford. He was always early to rise, usually one of the first to arrive at work, and often the last to leave.

Having learned from his father, David strongly valued education, and all five of his children received college degrees. Even in the last year during his battle with cancer, he would keep his brain engaged daily by working on puzzles.

During his life, he loved sports and coaching, and coached each of his children's little league baseball teams for at least one season, plus his daughter's youth basketball team. He was dedicated to watching his children's games as they played baseball, basketball, and football through middle school and high school. He had many hobbies, including model rocketry, music composition, and playing the guitar. He took his children and grandchildren on many fun activities including skiing, golfing, and fishing.

David continually lifted up others by quietly noticing and remembering details, offering kind and encouraging words, and giving meaningful gifts. He will be greatly missed by his family, but his influence will live on in our hearts.

A public viewing will be held Friday, March 8 from 6-8 pm and funeral services will be held Saturday, March 9 at 10 am, at Mueller's Greenlee Funeral Home, 1608 West Court Street in Pasco, WA. Following the Saturday service, he will be buried at City View Cemetery, 1300 N Oregon Ave in Pasco.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Pasco Education Foundation.
