When John Moye’s father died in Deadwood, S.D., he left behind this concise, 11-word obituary he had written for himself: “Jeff Moye left Deadwood yesterday and is not expected to return.”

The obligee becomes a beneficiary“I can’t say it in rap or rhyme, and I can’t spin it on a vinyl; but, simply put, John’s heart was as big as his brain,” former Colorado Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Love Kourlis wrote May 31.

“Even a few days before he died, he was still making the rounds around the office in his wheelchair, saying hello to people,” White said. “He really cared about this firm.” At home, Moye was an elaborate prankster, his daughter Kelly recalls. When the boyfriends of his three daughters came over for dinner, Moye would play pranks to see how they would react. Once, he placed an entire Italian meal directly on the dining room table, no plates. Another time, he handed out invoices to all guests after dinner, pretending to bill them for what they ate.

Moye also played the piano at home, everything from Tchaikovsky to Billy Joel. “The Phantom of the Opera” soundtrack was the last thing he played before his death. But he couldn’t read music, so he played everything by ear, Kelly said.
