Kelly Moran UPDATED
From the Moderated alt.comedy.standup newsgroup, posted by Darryl Rhoades:
For those of you who might not have heard, Kelly Moran was found dead this morning in Amarillo. Kelly was co-owner of the Amarillo Comedy Club as well as being a great comic.
This is truly sad.
I send my condolences to his family.
Click on this to read about Kelly Moran on Kelly’s Geocities site. (For the record, there’s no mention of Moran’s death on the site.) UPDATE: The Amarillo comedy club site now states: “Kelly Moran It is hurts too much for me type. Services Saturday at 2:00 in Amarillo. More info on Kelly soon!”

Dear Kelly,Of all of them, you were one of the good guys. I forgive you for beating me at gin and I thank you for being a friend in the middle of a crazy time in my life. Do you remember that you were the first comic I ever worked with? I’m so so so sorry that the last time you were here I couldn’t find the time to see you. I regret it very much, and again, I’m sorry. All of my love to your little daughter whom you love so much and I hope that she will be strong. I will miss you, Kelly. We all will.Much love, always.
I am deeply saddened to hear of the loss of my dear friend Kelly Moran. Kelly, you were that true friend, and I greatly thank you for being a part of my life. I miss laughing with you and will never forget those crazy days we shared…”Aubry” there was never a day that went by that your Dad failed to talk about his little Angel. God Bless you, Your Dad was Cool. Rest with the Angels “Kell”Love you brother 🙂Sergeant Timothy LongLong Beach Police Department Ca.
I saw Kelly Moran perform for the first and only time on an October 2005 evening…I just learned tonight that he passed away in his sleep a few days after that performance. Quite the shock…he was a day short of turning 47; I just turned 47 a couple of days ago. Life is so short and you just never know…My friend Candy’s mother taught Kelly to play piano, and Candy & Kelly were friends from childhood. On that night ((I believe it was 10/19), Candy was sweet enough to extend the invitation to a group of 12 of us to see Kelly perform at Harvey’s Comedy Club in Portland, Oregon. Kelly came to our table and “warmed up” …I was on the floor laughing then…and then he went on stage!! His keyboard had taken a #&%@ that evening, but he borrowed one from Candy & hubby blues singer/player KG…and the show went on…We all roared with laughter that night…I’ll never forget the “ADD Blues”!! Oh, and “pee-pee girls” LOLWe toasted drinks to Kelly tonight at Bogart’s in Portland ~ I’m so thankful I had the chance to enjoy his smile, his style…his wild humor…and to thank him after the show for the laughs, and to wish him well. He was set to do some voice work for an HBO show. Little did I know that in a few days he would no longer walk the Earth…Prayers of Strength & Endurance to Kelly’s family and especially his little girl…“Maybe it happened before tonight and I simply wasn’t aware of it. Like falling in love, maybe such a thing happens little by little, till a man is over the edge. In any event, I have, for at least this phase in my life, found my form. The middle-aged crisis, if that’s what it ever was, is passing. I don’t understand it, but I am no longer afraid of dying. Perhaps it’s simply because I am doing exactly what I want to and feel good about it that makes me whole.” – from Walking the Trail, One Man’s Journey Along the Cherokee Trail of Tears, by Jerry Ellis 1991
Kelly came to my house to play piano,There were no songs he didn’t knowI hadn’t seem him in years but he’ll always remain fondly in my heart,My condolences to the family
kelly, i am so sad. i can not believe you are gone and i’m sorry i called you back too late. you changed my life and i will never forget our pact to always stay friends. you left us way too soon. man, we never stopped laughing when we were together. you were so real and kind. you will always be in my heart, and i know how lucky i was to know you. i love you.my prayers are with his family and friends.
Thank you so much for all the kind words each one of you said about my brother. My brother Kelly was my best friend, we talked almost daily while he was on the road and I was always impressed with Kelly’s abilty to get along with everyone. As most of you know, Kelly was a great piano player and it always impressed me that Kelly would always compliment his fellow pianest counterparts. I would always say” You blow him/her away” and Kelly would always compliment the player and I could only listen because what the hell did I know. As a singer in my younger days, I always found fault (jealous), in other singers and Kelly never possesed the negative attribute, you know why? Kelly was an exceptional person that gave credit to entertainers both in stand up and the art of piano playing. I will miss my brother with all my heart and I give him credit for his professionalism and respect for the art of entertainment.I love you Kelly, and I promise your gravesite will never go unvisited frequently and will never lack flowers on it because your brother Kenny will see to it you will never be forgotten.
Kenny,
I learned of Kelly’s death many years too lateand just found this site only today.
I became friends with Kelly in 1989 as we both played a smal;l bar/comedy night called Ramzi’s. We had an instant connection both professionally and personally and he and I weree mentoring each other. Kelly helped me in comedy and I had the privilege to mentor him back to a faith in Christ from his mid teen years.We hung…performed together, ate and laffed our way around Orange and LA counties. Would love to speak with you and perhaps Kelly’s wife if possible. email me any contact info you care to release and I will respond… guyowen@gmail.com
Kelly was a dear friend of mine whom I met last spring when he performed in Little Rock. We spoke frequently for months and got together to visit whenever he was within a few hours drive. I had wondered why I had not heard from him and had recieved no replies to my emails. It breaks my heart to now find out that he passed away so long ago. If I had known, I would have given anything to have attended the funeral. I wish the best for his family and his daughters that he could never say enough wonderful things about. I remember he would call his youngest every night before his shows to talk to her and say goodnight. Kelly, you were a devoted, honorable, and caring friend whom I will always cherish. I will miss you dearly. Alaine Greer
Kelly actually rented a room in my house in the late 80’s/early 90’s. He was a great person. I really enjoyed his comedy and his “tough love” policy. I can remember a few times when he would have loved to smack me across the face because I was a little shit of a kid but he always refrained from doing so. I remember him driving me and Aubry somewhere in his toyota pick-up truck and letting us shift the gears.Kelly, you will be missed.J
Almost ten years have passed since Kelly’s been gone and I think of him often and am sorry he is gone. A very funny and talented comedian & musician. We worked together in Orange County in 1989-1990.
My name is Amanda Mitchell Moran. Kelly is my second cousin. Love and wish we could of spent more time together. I showed this to my husband. What a bunch of nice people remembering you with such kind words. Thank you fam.
