William Huene, 47, and Chase Splan, 32, are remembered among those whose lives were tragically taken in a plane crash near Sierra Sky Park in 2016. The sheriff\u2019s office identified Huene as the pilot. Now, a decade later, the same area has become the scene of another heartbreaking aviation tragedy, as two children lost their lives in a plane crash in northwest Fresno on Saturday, September 5, 2026.<\/p>\n
It is difficult to comprehend the pain left behind when lives are suddenly taken from the people who love them. Behind every name is a family, a story, a lifetime of memories, and people who never imagined they would one day have to say goodbye.<\/p>\n
William and Chase were taken far too soon in 2016. Now, two young lives have been added to the sorrow surrounding this location, leaving families facing an unimaginable emptiness. Two children who should have had years ahead of them\u2014years filled with laughter, dreams, birthdays, milestones, and memories\u2014will instead be remembered through photographs, stories, and the love they left behind.<\/p>\n
Two other people survived the 2026 crash but were critically injured and transported to the hospital. Tonight, thoughts and prayers remain with them and their loved ones as they fight for recovery.<\/p>\n
May William Huene, Chase Splan, and the two children who lost their lives in 2026 never be forgotten. May their families find strength through the tears, comfort in cherished memories, and peace in knowing their loved ones mattered deeply.<\/p>\n
Some lives end far too soon, but the love they leave behind never dies. \ud83d\udd4a\ufe0f\ud83e\udd0d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
