Louis Marlon Mosley, 77, passed away on Monday, February 3, 2025 at his home. He was born on August 2, 1947 in Cleveland, MS to Haley and Frances Hutchinson Mosley. Louis married the former Melissa Hall and during his battle with cancer, he was blessed to have Melissa by his side as a loving, caring, and wonderful wife. Louis was a graduate of Cleveland High School and attended Delta State University. He joined the United States Air Force in 1968 and made it a career retiring in 1988. While in the Air Force, Louis traveled the world serving in Europe and Asia. He is a Vietnam veteran where he served for one year. He received numerous medals including the Air Force Commendation Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and the Meritorious Service Medal. After retiring for the Air Force, he moved back to Cleveland before making his way to Amory. Working in the furniture industry as a warehouse and shipping manager, he held the same position when he began at Holley Performance Products in Aberdeen. Louis enjoyed all sports and was an avid golfer playing in Aberdeen where he met so many of his close friends. While stationed in Cheyenne, WY, Louis was elected state director for the United Slo-Pitch Softball Association. He loved to walk every day, and he would use that time to talk and pray to the Lord. Louis lived his life for God, letting the love and light of Christ radiate from his life. One of his favorite scriptures is from Isaiah 41:10, “Fear not I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God; I will strengthen you.” He served the Lord at Meadowood Baptist Church and was on the Senior Adult Committee and Bereavement Committee. While serving the bereavement meals, Frank and Susan Owen always brought chicken livers, and it is Louis’ desire to see Bro. Lloyd get his share of the livers. Words will never be sufficient to describe the love Louis had for his God, his dedication to family and friends. Louis wants to thank his church family, whom he loved so much, for being there for him each and every day with their love and prayers.

Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. on Thursday, February 6, 2024 at Meadowood Baptist Church with Bro. Lloyd Sweatt officiating. Burial will follow in the Turon Cemetery. Cleveland-Moffett Funeral Home is honored to be entrusted with the arrangements.

It is with the deepest sorrow that I today learned of the passing of my colleague, and friend, Lou Mosley.
I served with Lou while assigned as a Shift Commander (Captain) in the US Air Force, 320th Security Police Squadron, FE Warren AFB, Wyoming during the early and mid 1980's, securing our Nation's most sensitive assets.
Lou was assigned to me as our Flight's Senior NCO (Flight Chief), overseeing a unit of sixty USAF Security Specialists in the daily performances of duties. He carried out those duties and responsibilities with the utmost skill, professionalism, dedication, and compassion I ever witnessed during my service career.
His leadership and constant moral example consistently enabled our unit to achieve "superior" ratings whenever we were tested or reviewed, so much so that our Flight became the standard for being "Second to None". Lou truly defined what a US Air Force Non-Commissioned Officer should exemplify.

Beyond our USAF assigned duties and responsibilities, Lou and I became friends. I learned so much about leading "by example" and how to be a leader others "want" to follow, rather than "have to follow...for Lou made it look easy, that's just how Lou was; everyone who came into contact with Lou Mosley learned something positive.
He will be greatly missed by all that had the privilege to know and interact with him. You were a great person Louis Mosley and it was my privilege and honor to have served with you, and to know you as my Friend, you made our World a better place.
