The only remaining member of the group has made an emotional statement about the deaths.
A plane carrying the Nelons, a well-known and beloved gospel family in the United States, crashed, killing all on board. Seven people died in the terrible accident, including Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, their daughter Amber and Nathan Kistler, their son-in-law.
Melanie Hodges, who worked for the family, and Larry Haynie, a pilot, and his wife Melissa, also died.
That person, Autumn Nelon Streetman, was not on the plane at the time. When the plane crashed over Wyoming, the group was traveling to Alaska to participate in the Gaither Homecoming Cruise. Someone said the plane crashed to the ground, engulfed in flames, and firefighters and other emergency workers rushed to the scene as a wildfire broke out.
According to the Wyoming Sheriff’s Office, no one survived. For the prayers that have already been said for me, my husband Jamie, our unborn son, and Jason’s parents, Dan and Linda Clark, thank you.
