In Loving Memory of Michael Daly and John Daly — A Father and Son Remembered After Fort Worth Plane Tragedy
The Fort Worth community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Michael Daly and his father, John Daly, who tragically lost their lives in a plane crash on Sunday north of Fort Worth, Texas. The accident, which occurred in the 12700 block of North Saginaw Boulevard near Avondale, has left family, friends, and colleagues devastated as they come to terms with the sudden loss of two beloved men whose lives were defined by love, dedication, and faith.
According to the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office, the aircraft involved was a Beechcraft C90 King Air (tail number N291CC), a twin-engine turboprop capable of seating up to nine passengers. The plane went down in what appeared to be a vacant truck lot just north of a trailer park, igniting a massive fire that sent thick, black smoke into the sky, visible for miles around the crash site. Emergency responders from multiple departments rushed to the scene, but sadly, both Michael and John Daly were pronounced deceased.
