Steve Mensch, the president and common supervisor at Tyler Perry Studios, was killed when a single-engine airplane he was piloting crashed Friday evening in Florida.
The Citrus County Sheriff’s workplace recognized Mensch as the only occupant of the single-engine fixed-wing airplane that crashed Friday round 8 p.m. in Homosassa.
Tyler Perry Studios confirmed that Mensch had died.
“We are extremely saddened by the passing of our expensive buddy, Steve Mensch. Steve was a cherished member of our staff for greater than 8 years, and effectively beloved in the neighborhood of Atlanta,” the studio mentioned in an announcement. “It is difficult to think about not seeing him smiling all through the halls. We will miss him dearly. Our coronary heart goes out to his household as all of us ship them our prayers.”
The crash closed components of Highway 19 and Longfellow Street, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office mentioned in a Facebook put up. All lanes had been reopened simply earlier than 2:30 a.m.
