Vernon Dale Moseley, 70, of Gonzales, Texas passed away peacefully with family at his side on Friday, July 14 after a battle with cancer and other illnesses.

He was born Oc. 14, 1946 in Gonzales, Texas to D.R. Moseley and Lucy Townsend Moseley O’Neal who preceded him in death in 1996 and 2011, respectively.

Vernon is survived by his children Michael Moseley of Luling, Tammi Moseley of Gonzales, Shannon Moseley of Luling and Wendy Vaughan of Idaho; 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren; brother Kenneth Moseley and wife Martha of Gonzales; sister Shirley Moseley Hamilton and husband Gary of Austin; brother Mark Moseley and wife Maria of New Braunfels; and half-sister Peggy Moseley of Temple; Tim Gray of Gonzales who he loved like a son; step-brother Denver O’Neal Jr. of Kingsland; step-brothers James Beene of Luling and Roger Beene of Gonzales; step-sister Bobbie Jo Condel of Gonzales, his nieces and nephews, his many, many cousins, friends and their families.

Vernon attended several trade schools in his earlier years: General Motors, International Harvester, Texas Instruments and American College. He was a very hard worker and a great provider. He worked in the oil industry for 43 years all across the US including the swamps of Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico. He worked as well in South America and Mexico before retiring to the Gonzales, Texas area. He always ended up being a supervisor for every company he worked for. Vernon helped a lot of people get their feet in the door of the oil field industry.

Vernon loved spending time with his family; family was everything to him, especially those grandbabies and great-grandbabies. Other things he enjoyed in life were riding horses on trail rides, hanging out with friends and playing dominoes as well as working outdoors. A favorite hobby was restoring old furniture which he said gave him a great deal of peace.

Vernon loved and cherished his family and he will truly be missed by all who knew him.

A memorial service for Vernon Dale Moseley will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5 at the First Baptist Church at 422 St. Paul Street, Gonzales, Texas. Please join us after the service in the Fellowship Hall for lunch and a Celebration of Life. We are grateful to the many family members and friends offering to bring food for the meal together and look forward to visiting with everyone.
