A plane crash tragically killed seven members of the Nelons, a beloved gospel family. The victims included Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, their daughter Amber,
son-in-law Nathan Kistler, family worker Melanie Hodges, and pilot Larry Haynie and his wife Melissa. The only surviving member, Autumn Nelon Streetman, was not on the plane and released a
heartfelt statement expressing her grief and gratitude for the prayers and support.
The Nelons were traveling to Alaska for the Gaither Homecoming Cruise when the plane crashed in Wyoming. Witnesses reported seeing the plane crash into the ground in flames. Despite emergency response efforts, there were no survivors.
The Nelons were inducted into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame in 2016 and are known for their influential role in gospel music with songs like “I Shall Not Be Moved,” “Come Morning,” and “We Shall Wear a Robe and Crown.” The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash
