Friends and neighbors are remembering the North Texas man killed in a\u00a0plane crash in Tarrant County on Sunday<\/a>\u00a0as a devoted husband, father and pilot. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Deadly Tarrant County plane crash<\/p>\n

Two people died in the\u00a0crash near Hicks Airfield<\/a>, according to the Fort Worth Fire Department.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Fort Worth Fire Department said just after 1:30 p.m., multiple calls reported a plane crash on N. Saginaw Blvd., and said that crews arrived on the scene within 5 minutes. The area is between Fort Worth Alliance Airport and Fort Worth Meacham Airport, west of DFW International Airport. The plane hit 18-wheelers and trailers<\/a>, igniting a heavy fire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“People were stopping their cars, running down there, and then you start hearing ‘boom,'” said Theresa Brown, who witnessed the crash. “We heard a total of four booms.” \u00a0<\/p>\n

Multiple pilots flying near Hicks Airport can be heard on the airport radio frequency, describing smoke, trucks on fire and what appeared to be a plane crash. <\/p>\n

Kyle Schroeder said that soon after, details began circulating in an aviation group he’s a part of called “Airplanes and Coffee.”<\/p>\n

“And then someone tracked the data, which is the data that is recorded in your plane, and he came back with his tail number, and I just knew instantly that was the case,” Schroeder, a fellow pilot, said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just months earlier, Schroeder met up with Daly. The two bonded over their love of flying, and Schroeder even got to ride in Daly’s plane.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

“He really knew his airplane well. He knew that thing front and back,” Schroeder said. “Really great pilot … I just really feel for his family. He’s got four kids. I’ve only met one of them. And he has an amazing wife.”<\/p>\n

Schroeder, who is also a professional saxophonist, said Daly shared that talent, too.<\/p>\n

“And he even puts up videos on YouTube of worship music to sax,” Schroeder said. “We just connected on such a cool level, and I want the world to know that he was such a great guy.” \u00a0<\/p>\n

Friends remember Michael Daly as a faithful, devoted father<\/p>\n

Solutions Group Services posted to social media about the “brilliant software developer,” saying Daly’s work helped lay the foundation for the technology that powers the organization.<\/p>\n

“Michael was more than a visionary developer,” the post reads. “He was a man of deep faith, a devoted husband, and a loving father to four children. His innovation, integrity, and generosity of spirit left an enduring mark on everyone who had the privilege to know him.”<\/p>\n

Schroeder said he hopes Daly will be remembered as a bright light who touched so many people with his talents and is praying for his family. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Friends and neighbors are remembering the North Texas man killed in a\u00a0plane crash in Tarrant County on Sunday\u00a0as…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":302014,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,53846,7371,7372,8963,5884,7375,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-302013","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-denton-county","10":"tag-fort-worth","11":"tag-fortworth","12":"tag-north-texas","13":"tag-plane-crash","14":"tag-tarrant-county","15":"tag-texas","16":"tag-tx","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-united-states-of-america","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","21":"tag-us","22":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115371269443064021","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302013"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302013\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
