For those who haven’t yet heard, four people died in a plane crash yesterday in Walker County. Killed in the crash were Bobby and Jan Crump, their son Matthew and his girlfriend Lauren Brue. They had just returned from a trip to Des Moines, Iowa to meet with Lauren and her family.
The report from the witness:
- “I immediately looked up to where I heard the noise and I nothtmliced the plane was in a spiral motion and next thing I know I heard a crash and I ran to the house and told the wife to call 911.”
I know it may sound cliché, but Matthew was the type of guy whom everybody liked. I was a chaperone on a youth ski trip for New Years’ 06 — Matt brought his XBOX 360 and I never got a wink of sleep why attempting (without success) to beat him in Medal Of Honor. My thoughts and prayers go out to their family, as well as the citizens of Jasper during this difficult time.
It’s weird when something like this happens and you’re able to go to the facebook pages of the individuals killed.
When I got home from church, I checked Matt’s facebook page quickly before I left for the airport. His status reads “Matt Crump is in iowa with lauren!!”, and one of the last messages left on his wall was from his girlfriend who said: “hi baby! guess what?! in exactly 5 days you will be in des moines at my home : ) i miss you so much and cant wait to see you!!”
