Obituary for Bro. Bill Moran
Willie James Moran Jr. (Bro. Bill Moran), pastor of Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, went to be with his Lord and Savior on January 30, 2021, at the age of 70.
Bill was born in Carlisle, Arkansas in 1949 to Bill and Mabel Moran. He was the pastor of Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Clinton, Arkansas for 15 years. He was in the ministry for 39 years. He attended many seminaries and obtained a Master’s degree in Eschatology. He loved his horses and his family of dogs. He was known for his many stories he told to the kids. Bill never met a stranger and had a knack of calling everyone “Doc”. His main goal in life was getting his friends and family ready to meet the Lord. One of his many blessings was being able to see all of his children and grandchildren saved and baptized. He was a dedicated Christian and devoted husband to Barbara Moran for 51 years. He always said he was saved twice: the day he got saved and the day he married Barbara.
Bill is survived by his wife Barbara Moran of 51 years, his children Penny (Matt) Standlee and Wesley (Kym) Moran, all of Dennard, Arkansas, grandchildren; Austin (Kaitlin) Moran, Isaac Bramlett, Cole Moran, Ashton Moran, Corey (Cloe) Sledge, Mason Standlee, Billy Standlee, Reese Standlee, Clay Standlee, great-grandchildren; Remington Moran, Wesley Moran, Creegen Sledge, Chaston Sledge, brother, Wilber Moran, sisters, Mildred Lannom of Carlisle, AR and Annabelle Crain of Rogers, AR.
He is preceded in death by his son Billy James Moran, his parents Bill and Mabel Moran, and sisters Betty Moran and Elenor Johnson.
Pallbearers will be Jason Wooten, Corey Sledge, Austin Moran, Jason Lowder, Matt Standlee, and Billy Standlee. Honorary Pallbearers will be Wesley Moran, Cole Moran, Ashton Moran, Clay Standlee, and Isaac Bramlett.
