Is Kelly Paris dead? I cannot find any mention of his passing, and Baseball Reference stull has him listed as living, but he is listed on the site within the In Memoriam section. 

  I can't find anything anywhere.   But I did find a 2018 entry where someone thought he passed then.   Hopefully this is another Abe Vigoda rumor.

The only mention of Paris' passing I've seen is on an 80s baseball page on Facebook, with no source. Here's hoping it's incorrect.

   If it is the Kelly Jay Paris, born Oct 17, 1957 in Encino, Ca and hit 3 home runs in his playing time, he died on May 27, 2019 of Lung Cancer.

Where is the source? There is nothing anywhere confirming his death.

On his wiki page is reads he died on May 27. but we all know how inaccurate wiki pages can be. I can find no other info on his death and I check a lot of pages about him. when you find but one thing about him dying and it's on a wiki page written by someone?  It could be wrong. I'm going to say he is still alive. I also did a search on "Kelly Paris obituary" and "Kelly Paris baseball player obituary" and found nothing for him. I think Wiki has got it wrong, imagine that. 

Here's a Facebook post from his brother Bret.
