Tragedy Strikes Saints Family: Julie Wilson Moore, Wife of Head Coach Kellen Moore, Passes Away Unexpectedly

The New Orleans Saints organization and the entire NFL community are in mourning following the heartbreaking and untimely passing of Julie Wilson Moore, the beloved wife of Saints Head Coach Kellen Moore. She was 36.

Julie passed away suddenly on Sunday evening, sending shockwaves through the Saints organization and beyond. Known for her grace, strength, and unwavering support for her husband and family, her death leaves a profound void in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Julie and Kellen Moore’s story began in their hometown of Prosser, Washington, where they met as high school students. Their bond grew stronger over the years, culminating in their marriage in 2011. Together, they built a life centered on faith, family, and service — raising three children, Kyler, Halle, and Madelyn.

A woman of many talents, Julie was not only a dedicated mother and loving partner but also a passionate philanthropist. She founded the Moore Than Football Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on supporting military families through financial assistance and transitional aid. She also worked as a respected accountant, balancing her career with a tireless devotion to her community.

Coach Kellen Moore, who was named head coach of the New Orleans Saints earlier this year, has requested privacy as he and his family navigate this devastating loss. The Saints released a statement offering their deepest condolences, calling Julie “a shining light whose compassion, kindness, and strength touched everyone she met.”

Details regarding memorial arrangements are forthcoming. In lieu of flowers, the Moore family asks that donations be made in Julie’s honor to the Moore Than Football Foundation, ensuring her legacy of love and service endures.
