While he has not been active for a while, Mircea Mosely was an energetic, talented and entertaining player. A man of many talents, Mircea was a recreational singer, musician, and gymnast. A true performer at heart, he was a lighthearted and enthusiastic participant in any event he attended.
On May 31, 2023 he succumbed to the cancer that had spread throughout his body. He was with his family during the final days and seemed to be at peace. He is survived by his older brothers, Nick and Tyler as well as his parents, Dave and Donna. We will miss him.
