‘It’s tough’: Father says son with two baby boys died in Missouri plane crash
As investigators worked to piece together what caused Sunday’s deadly plane crash in Butler, families of those on board gathered nearby, searching for answers and grieving an unimaginable loss.
The aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Butler Memorial Airport, killing all 12 people on board.

Just up the road from the crash site Sunday afternoon, family members waited for information.
One man who spoke with KMBC, but did not want to be identified, said his son was among those killed. He said he rushed to Butler from the Kansas City area after learning about the crash.

“My son was on the plane. He had a new business, two new baby boys and everything was going good for him. I just don’t understand what happened,” the man said.
The father said skydiving had become a major part of his son’s life.
“Skydiving, he’s been getting into skydiving. He’s probably got four or 500 jumps and just something he loved to do. You just never start the morning thinking you’re going to die, you know. He had two new baby boys. It’s tough,” he said.
