A tragic plane crash killed seven members of the Nelons, a well-loved gospel family. The victims were Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, their daughter Amber, her husband Nathan Kistler, family worker Melanie Hodges, and the pilot Larry Haynie and his wife Melissa.
The only survivor, Autumn Nelon Streetman, wasn’t on the plane and shared a heartfelt message thanking everyone for their prayers and support. The Nelons were on their way to Alaska for the Gaither Homecoming Cruise when their plane crashed in Wyoming. Witnesses saw the plane crash to the ground in flames. Despite emergency responders’ efforts, no one survived.
