One of the best-loved Gospel music families in America, The Nelons, was involved in a tragic, fatal plane crash on Friday afternoon en route to join the Gaither Homecoming Cruise to Alaska. Those who perished in the crash were Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, Amber and Nathan Kistler, their assistant Melodi Hodges, and the pilot Larry Haynie and his wife, Melissa Haynie.
Autumn Nelon Streetman, Jason and Kelly’s youngest daughter, and her husband, Jamie Streetman, were not on the plane and arrived safely in Seattle, where they were informed of the accident. They were brought to the hotel where artists gathered with Bill and Gloria Gaither to pray, sing, and embrace them in their grief, pledging to support them in whatever needs arise.
Kelly Nelon Clark’s brother Todd Nelon has provided a link for anyone who would like to give to assist with the sudden financial burden that faces Autumn.
Fundraiser for Autumn Nelon Streetman:
On Friday, July 26, the Nelon family experienced an unimaginable tragedy, leaving us in heart-wrenching grief. We are overwhelmed and struggling to take our next breath. We appreciate all the calls, texts, food, and mostly the prayers we have received.
In this time of immense sorrow, we humbly reach out to ask for help for our precious Autumn. While we are surrounding her with love, she faces mountainous tasks ahead and will need financial assistance. Autumn has not only lost her family but also her livelihood. In addition to covering funeral costs, she now bears the responsibility of managing the wedding venue, farm, and two homes.
We ask you to prayerfully consider extending your support to Autumn during this challenging time. Your generosity will help her navigate these difficult days and ensure the continuation of her family’s legacy.
We appreciate and love you all. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we walk through this valley, trusting that we will reach the mountain top again one day. As it is written in Job 13:15, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him.”
