ATLANTA — Three members of a beloved Atlanta family gospel group were killed in a plane crash in Wyoming on Friday, a statement posted to the fourth band member’s Instagram said.

The statement on the Instagram of Autumn Nelon Streetman, attributed to Gaither Management Group, said her mother, Kelly Nelon Clark; father, Jason Clark; and sister, Amber Kistler — the other three members who formed The Nelons — died in the crash. Autumn and her husband, Jamie Streetman, were not on the flight.

Four others also were killed in the crash — Amber’s husband, Nathan Kistler, the Kistlers’ assistant Melodi Hodges and the pilot and his wife, Larry and Melissa Haynie.

Larry Haynie was the chairman of the Georgia Department of Corrections Board.

A separate statement on Autumn Nelon Streetman’s Instagram, attributed to her, said:

As many of you have heard by now, my father and mother, Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, along with my sister, Amber and brother-in-law, Nathan, as well as our dear friends Melodi Hodges, Larry and Melissa Haynie were involved in a tragic plane crash on Friday. Thank you for the prayers that have been extended already to me, my husband, Jamie, and our soon-to-be-born baby boy, as well as Jason’s parents, Dan and Linda Clark. We appreciate your continued prayers, love and support as we navigate the coming days.

The Nelons have been active for decades, founded originally by Rex Nelon, Kelly Nelon Clark’s father. The band was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2016, and they were also once nominated for a Grammy for Best Southern Gospel Album for Let The Redeemed Say So in 1991.
