Two little boys lost their lives in a horrific home explosion in Defiance, Missouri. When their house caught fire on Friday morning, Julian Keiser, age four, and Jamison Keiser, age six, perished.
They were recalled by grieving neighbors and community members as the “cutest little boys” who delighted everyone in their presence.
The boys’ mother, Evelyn Turpiano, as well as their grandparents, Jennifer and Vern Ham, managed to flee the flaming house and make it to safety. Regretfully,
the fire’s intensity prevented firemen from arriving in time to save Julian and Jamison. Rescue efforts, albeit coordinated by the community, were fruitless. The reason of the explosion is still being looked into.
The owners of the property where the tragedy happened, the Florida-based Hoffmann Family of Companies, have sent their sympathies to the family in an effort to express support.
