Let’s take a moment to let this sink in: The Nelons, the gospel music icons who brought us melodies that touched our souls, were involved in a devastating plane crash.
The crash tragically took the lives of seven cherished members of the Nelon family, a clan that has left an indelible mark on the world of gospel music.
We’re talking about Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, their daughter Amber, son-in-law Nathan Kistler, family worker Melanie Hodges, and the pilot and copilot duo, Larry and Melissa Haynie.
Amid this heart-wrenching tragedy, one member of the family, Autumn Nelon Streetman, survived. Fate had her away from the plane on that fateful trip.
Autumn has bravely come forward, expressing her overwhelming grief. Her words, filled with both sorrow and a deep gratitude for the outpouring of prayers and support, resonate with us all.
So, where were the Nelons headed when disaster struck? The family was on their way to Alaska, gearing up for the Gaither Homecoming Cruise.
Sadly, somewhere over the scenic landscapes of Wyoming, the plane descended into flames. Eyewitnesses recount seeing the aircraft plummet to the ground, igniting into a fiery blaze.
Despite swift emergency response efforts, the catastrophic nature of the crash left no room for any survivors.
The Nelons were no ordinary family—they were gospel royalty. Inducted into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame back in 2016, their music had a way of wending its way into our hearts.
Remember those soul-stirring classics like “I Shall Not Be Moved,” “Come Morning,” and “We Shall Wear a Robe and Crown”? Yep, all their masterpieces. Their influence in the gospel music scene is unparalleled, and their loss is nothing short of monumental.
Now, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will step in to investigate the crash. As we await more details, it’s a time for reflection, for remembering the Nelons’ contributions, and for holding their surviving family members in our thoughts and prayers.
Rest in harmony, dear Nelons. Your music lives on, and so does the love and inspiration you’ve shared with the world.
