We can confirm the plane that crashed off Government Station Road in Watkinsville in Oconee County, Georgia on Wednesday, April 26th was owned by the Denton Family. Below is a statement from the Denton Family.

Denton Family Statement:

We are devastated to share the passing of Robert and Sandra Denton, who tragically passed away in a plane crash on April 26 in Watkinsville, Georgia. Robert (76) and Sandra (75) were beloved residents of Williamsburg, Michigan, Clare, Michigan, and The Villages, Florida.

Both seasoned pilots, Robert and Sandra were flying their single-engine Cessna 177B airplane from Leesburg, Florida, to Barrow County Airport in Winder, Georgia. The crash is being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board. No additional details are available at this time.

While taken from us far too soon, we find comfort knowing they were together and doing what they loved, flying. Robert and Sandra lived life to the fullest and were two of the most thoughtful and loving people you could know.

We are sincerely grateful for the outpouring of support shown to our family from Robert and Sandra’s many friends and neighbors. We also wish to extend our gratitude to the Oconee County Sheriff's Office and first responders who were at the crash scene, as well as the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office in Michigan for their assistance.

We ask that you please respect our family's privacy during this difficult time.

With love and deepest gratitude,
The Denton Family
