Kelis’ Husband Mike Mora Dies of Stomach Cancer

Sad News: Mike Mora, husband of singer, Kelis is dead at 37 after he lost his battle with stage 4 stomach cancer.

Kelis Management team released a statement to Entertainment Tonight;

“Sadly, it’s true that Mike Mora has passed away. We would ask all to respect Kelis and her family’s privacy as of right now.”

The photographer shared his diagnosis in September 2021 ,saying it started during the pandemic with “the worst pain” in his stomach which led to appetite loss and back pain before he decided to go get it checked out. “I thought the whole time that I just had an ulcer. With no idea what was about to come my way,” he explained. “Here I was, in a hospital bed, during the middle of the pandemic. All alone.”

“I am posting this, after so much thought. not because I want people to feel bad or sorry for me and my family. I am posting this because life is full of the most unexpected situations,” he wrote. “I never thought this could happen to me. At just 36, with 3 kiddos, and a wife that loves me. I want to be able to help those that might experience something, maybe, hopefully. By showing that it’s possible to make it through.”

Mora continued, “I want to be able to help those that might be experiencing something like this- a life altering disease full of questions and doubt- maybe, hopefully. By showing that it’s possible to make it through. You always see people post about how life is too short. How you should reach out to those you love no matter where life has taken you. It is the truth. Don’t take your time here, your time with friends, family, for granted. Shit can be over just like that!”

This is really sad. My condolences Kelis, May God strengthen you and family during this difficult time.
