Thank you for all the well wishes and support. We are trying to keep up with everyone but there is a lot to deal with in the world that is Kirby. And of course Tom. Just like Kirby to try and steal the spotlight from his dad. We are working through the process and are waiting patiently for answers. As of yet we do not have any official news on what happened and won’t for about a week or so. We currently have no plans for a memorial but encourage you to connect with your family friend and loved ones virtually and share stories and celebrate an amazing life. We will have more to come I promise and will keep you all informed as soon as we can. Again thank you all for the love and friendship.
Morrow’s Father Had Died Just 8 Days Earlier
Morrow’s family had faced another tragedy recently. As Casey Morrow wrote on Facebook a few days after his brother’s death, “We are trying to keep up with everyone but there is a lot to deal with in the world that is Kirby. And of course Tom. Just like Kirby to try and steal the spotlight from his dad 
.”
A friend wrote after learning the news: “Casey, words can’t even begin to express our thoughts when we learnt about Kirby. Such a heart breaking time for you and your family just days after your dad passed away. Our hearts are breaking for you and your family. Condolences my friend.”
On November 14, Casey Morrow shared that he and Kirby’s father had died on November 10 at age 77 after being in hospice with cancer. Kirby Morrow died on November 18, just eight days later.
Tom Morrow’s obituary said he “made sure to grow the ranks of friends everywhere he went. … It is ironic that the man who spoke for so many dear friends as they passed and who loved an audience more than most will not get his day.” It concluded, “As Always, Tom wanted to have the final story and asked us to share his thoughts. ‘Let this be my epitaph, there was never a person I met that I could not make laugh.’”
