In a heartbreaking incident, three members of the acclaimed gospel group The Nelons were killed in a plane crash in Wyoming. The crash, which occurred last Friday, claimed the lives of Kelly Nelon Clark, her husband Jason Clark, and their daughter Amber Nelon Kistler, who were en route to the Gaither Homecoming Cruise to Alaska.
The small plane, piloted by Georgia Department of Corrections Board chairman Larry Haynie, went down under still unclear circumstances, also resulting in the deaths of Haynie, his wife, and two other passengers. The tragic loss has deeply affected the gospel music community, which has expressed an outpouring of grief and support for the families involved.
The Nelons, celebrated members of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, have been a beloved fixture in the gospel music scene for decades, known for their harmonious vocals and heartfelt performances.
