Three members of the celebrated gospel family quartet The Nelons were among seven killed in a harrowing plane crash in Wyoming, on Friday, according to their management.
Kelly Nelon Clark, her husband Jason Clark, and their daughter, Amber Nelon Kistler, had been traveling to Seattle to perform on a musical cruise when their plane crashed around 1 p.m., just north of the town of Gillette, and sparked a wildfire, Campbell County officials said.
The aircraft was identified by National Transportation Safety Board officials as a single-engine Pilatus PC-12/47E.
“One of the best-loved gospel music families in America, the Nelons, were involved in a tragic, fatal plane crash on Friday afternoon to join the Gaither Homecoming Cruise to Alaska,” Gaither Management Group wrote on Facebook.
