The two people killed when a small plane crashed while taking supplies to hurricane-ravaged Jamaica have been identified as a Christian ministry CEO and his daughter.
Alexander Wurm, 53, and his daughter Serena, 22, were killed when the turboprop plane slammed into a residential neighborhood pond near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, soon after takeoff Monday morning.
The father-daughter duo were en route to Jamaica to help with the hurricane relief efforts, authorities said.
In a heartfelt tribute, the evangelical Christian ministry that Wurm founded described him as a selfless devotee who had worked tirelessly to help others.
“Alexander, known for his warmth and unwavering kindness, devoted his life to serving others — both through his actions and by sharing the gospel of Jesus across the globe,” Ignite the Fire said in a social media statement.
“Throughout his life, Alex travelled extensively, reaching various countries and continents, where he tirelessly worked to bring faith, compassion, and support to those in need.”
