OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

On the Passing of the Honorable Joseph J. Urusemal

It is with deep respect and profound sadness, that the Federated States of Micronesia announces the passing of the Honorable Joseph J. Urusemal, Sixth President of the Federated States of Micronesia, who passed away on September 16, 2025, in the Republic of Palau.

Born on March 19, 1952, on Woleai in the State of Yap, President Urusemal dedicated his life to public service, education, and the advancement of our nation. After completing his early schooling on Woleai and graduating from Xavier High School in Chuuk, he pursued higher education at Rockhurst College in Kansas City, Missouri, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Administration of Justice in 1976. He went on to work in the United States before returning home in 1982 to serve as a teacher and counselor at the Yap State Department of Education, where he contributed significantly to the Yap State Education Plan.

In 1987, he was elected as the State of Yap’s at-large representative to the Fifth Congress of the Federated States of Micronesia, a position he held with distinction for many years. Known for his humility, strong principles, and commitment to traditional values, he served as Floor Leader for twelve years before being elected the Sixth President of the Federated States of Micronesia, serving from May 11, 2003, to 2007.

Following his presidency, he continued his service in Congress, most recently as Chairman of the Committee on Education and the Yap Congressional Delegation. Throughout his career, he was a member of several key congressional committees, including Ways and Means, Health and Social Affairs, and Transportation and Communication. His leadership and vision helped guide the Nation’s development while remaining grounded in respect for culture, education, and the sustainable use of our limited resources.

President Urusemal is remembered as a soft-spoken but resolute leader, a devoted husband to Olania Latileilam of Satawal, and a loving father to their four children: B.J., Tarsis, Craig, and Elenita.

The Federated States of Micronesia mourns the loss of a great leader, statesman, and son of our islands. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, the people of Yap, and all who were touched by his life and service.

State funeral arrangements will be confirmed in due course, at which time a Presidential Proclamation will also be issued declaring a period of national mourning, including the lowering of flags to half-mast throughout the Nation.
