On April 10, 1992, six days after he married his girlfriend Malika Souiri, Sam Kinison died after his white 1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am was struck on U.S. Route 95, four miles (6 km) north of Interstate 40 and several miles west of Needles, California, by a pickup truck driven by a 17-year-old male who had been drinking alcohol.His wife survived the accident. Kinison was later found to have traces of cocaine, prescription tranquilizers, and codeine in his bloodstream.

Kinison is interred with family members at the Memorial Park Cemetery in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His grave marker includes an unattributed quote, "In another time and place he would have been called prophet."

Wadda great man and mind. His take on "Feed the world" is spot on.

Thanks for the post Oss. Sam is one of my all time favorites. Along with Steven Wright, Richard Pryor, Ed Skelton, Tim Conway, Carol Burnette, Harvey Korman, Flip Wilson and Bill Cosby. Some people are just flat out funny.

Thanks again for the post,

Mark

I sat across the table from him and his crew one night at Big Al's in Peoria Il. after one of his shows, He was just as crazy off the stage as he was on. very funny guy. I still crack up when I think about sending U-hauls to Ethiopia.

Sam Kinnison was a preacher.  He actually preached once in a small church in Exeland Wisconsin, about 40 miles north of were I grew up.  I find it quite funny that, just change the words a little and a preacher can resemble a stand up comedian!!
