The single-engine plane lost power shortly after takeoff, stalled during a turn, and crashed near a local road. Friends and family remember McKinney as a true brother, an incredible father, and a man who lived fully—whether on stage, at school events, or soaring through the sky. Other victims include skydiving instructor Jen Sharp and nine others. The community is rallying, with a GoFundMe raising over $29,000 to support McKinney’s family, reflecting the deep love and impact he left behind.
