Moses Sakai Obeketang

In the gentle embrace of a world that will forever cherish his memory, we announce with heavy hearts the passing of Moses Sakai Obeketang on May 31, 2026, at Ennis Regional Hospital. Born on January 13, 2000, in the serene town of Koror, Palau, Moses was a beacon of warmth, love, and unwavering kindness throughout his 26 years. Moses was the beloved son of the late Flora and Gordon Obeketang, who undoubtedly welcomed him into the afterlife with open arms. He is now reunited with his parents and his cherished wife, Faith Marie Shields, who predeceased him. Moses leaves behind a legacy of love through their shared journey of four years together. Though his journey was brief, Moses's impact was profound. He was the proud and devoted father of three beautiful boys—Ezequiel Salii, Gordon Kulas, and Zacchariah Tarkong—who will continue to carry forward his spirit and values. His children were his pride and joy, and he found immense happiness in spending time with them, nurturing their dreams with the same love and care that defined his own life. Moses is survived by his siblings: Tiffany, Candace, Ochob, Livybelle, Liandfield, and Wanda. Each relationship was a testament to his generous spirit, as he effortlessly filled every room with laughter, understanding, and a sense of belonging. His family, both immediate and extended, was his sanctuary—a safe place where his emotions, bigger than this world, found their true expression. Though he often described his career as "dabbling here and there," Moses's true vocation was the love and care he gave to those around him. Whether it was a day spent fishing or a night immersed in anime, he found joy in the simple pleasures of life. His laughter was infectious, and his warm smiles were a balm for the soul. He was a man who lived with an open heart, always ready to extend a helping hand, even when faced with his own struggles. Moses's life will be celebrated on June 12, 2026, at 10:00 AM at St. John's Catholic Church. It is here we will gather to honor his memory, to share stories of his boundless love, and to find solace in the community he cherished so dearly. As we remember Moses, let us carry forward his legacy of kindness, warmth, and genuine love. May his spirit continue to inspire us all to live with open hearts and to cherish each moment with those we hold dear. Rest in peace, dear Moses; your light will forever guide us.
