Cape Henlopen High community comes together to remember recent graduate Andree' Mosley
A prolonged silence filled the room, speaking volumes. It was the sound of heartbreak and loss, which has become nothing new to the Cape Henlopen High School community near Lewes. But it was also a sound of community, and of a strength needed to carry the burden. Hundreds gathered to honor the life of Andree' 'AJ' Mosley on June 28 near Ellendale. They squeezed into the Pentecostal Holiness Church to pay their respects to a family member, a friend and a loved one. Mosley died just weeks before on June 14, after being shot near Millsboro during what Delaware State Police described as a fight outside a home. Marcus Harris, 25, was arrested and charged with murder, two counts of attempted murder and three gun offenses. He's being held in prison on $480,000 cash bond. Mosley, affectionately known as AJ by those close to him, had recently graduated from Cape Henlopen High School. He was a good student and well-liked by his peers on all accounts. 'He was very funny, very outspoken but polite,' said Mosley's former teacher William Waters. 'Everybody loved being around him.' Around his family and close friends, Mosley was 'the life of the party,' according to his cousin Jade Warrington. 'I remember him always singing and breakdancing when we were together,' Warrington said. 'He was our light in the darkness.' He was also a member of Cape Henlopen's football program, playing for four years under coach Mike Frederick. He described Mosley as a player whose hard work ethic had brought him success, working his way up to starting cornerback in his senior year. 'He really bought into the program,' Frederick said. 'And that earned him that opportunity.' All sources indicated Mosley had a bright future ahead of him. He was reportedly pursuing a career in real estate while also considering playing football at Salisbury University. 'He was really determined to pursue his passions,' Warrington said. 'His energy was infectious.' The shooting that killed Mosley was one of three deaths in the past year for the Cape Henlopen football community. Players Ryan Andrew and Elijah Ghabour were killed in a car crash in Lewes in July 2024. Suffering so much tragedy has taken a heavy toll. The sobs of loved ones and friends echoed harrowingly throughout the service. Consistently emphasized, however, was togetherness and strength. Around 70-80 members of the Cape Henlopen community, many dressed in light blue shirts adorned with Mosley's face, attended the service. They linked arms as they walked past Mosley's casket during the visitation hour, signaling an unbreakable bond. Many members of the Cape's football team spoke during the service's open comment section. They discussed Mosley's leadership on the field and how they would look to 'carry on his legacy.' 'I learned so many lessons from you,' said Mosley's brother Prince. 'And I was just beginning to learn.' Speakers throughout the program also stressed a focus on religious faith and a desire to hold each other accountable for the protection of their children. 'Make sure these children know they are loved,' Bishop Jonathan Dukes of World Life Community Church said. According to those close to him, Mosley was religious as well, attending his stepfather's Dominion Church of Delaware. The community has hosted various other events to honor Mosley's legacy over the last couple of weeks, including a balloon release on June 23. His family acknowledged their gratitude to the community for supporting them through the difficult times. 'We're really glad they saw the good in him,' said cousin Timia Gibbs. 'We appreciate all they've done for him.' More: Cape community mourns loss of recent graduate Andree' Mosley In the aftermath of Mosley's death, the community will continue to grieve. But a hope exists that through their bond, they can work to create a stronger community for the families within it. 'We've got to figure this out, together,' coach Frederick said. 'We can't keep losing our young people like this.' This article originally appeared on Delaware News Journal: Death of Andree Mosley: Cape Henlopen High community comes together
