The house in Defiance, Missouri, exploded on Friday morning, tragically killing two young boys, Julian Keiser, 4, and Jamison Keiser, 6. Their school had canceled classes due to extreme weather, leaving them at home when the explosion occurred. Their mother, Evelyn Turpiano, and grandparents, Jennifer and Vern Ham, managed to escape safely.<\/p>\n

Firefighters arrived but couldn\u2019t reach the boys in time due to the intense flames. \u201cThe fire prevented them from being found right away,\u201d stated Chief Dan Casey of the New Melle Fire Protection District. Neighbor Sharon Oberlag, who heard the explosion, described the boys as \u201cthe nicest little boys,\u201d adding, \u201cThey thought school was the coolest thing ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hoffmann Family of Companies, the building\u2019s owners, expressed their condolences: \u201cOur hearts are with the member of our team and their family who lost their children and grandchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n

A GoFundMe campaign for the family has raised over $145,000. Dan Tripp, a co-owner of Good News Brewing in Defiance, started the campaign, noting that both women were active in the Defiance Merchants Association. The family will need support for the funerals and the loss of their home.<\/p>\n

Neighbor Laura Emerson placed a Christmas wreath on the destroyed house, saying, \u201cThose boys appeared content. They were intelligent. They were happy. They were loved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
