John Denverbutton.gif (123 bytes) On October 12th, John Denver died in a single-person plane crash off the coast of Northern California. The plane went down about 100 yards off shore into Monterey Bay from an elevation of about 500 feet. An autopsy will be performed to determine the exact identity of the body, but a relative of Denver's ex-wife is reporting that it was Denver. Denver, a licensed pilot, was piloting a single-engine, fiberglass plane alone.
John Denver - 'Windsong'button.gif (123 bytes) Denver was a highly successful musician in the 70s with his country/folk/pop music. His success continued into the 80s and 90s with concert appearances throughout the U.S. Denver is also noted for his support of many environmental causes. Denver is best known for his crossover pop country sound that included hits such as "Rocky Mountain High," "Annie's Song," "Sunshine On My Shoulders," and "Thank God I'm A Country Boy."
John Denver - 'Back Home Again'button.gif (123 bytes) Denver was 53 years old and leaves 3 children. Denver apparently purchased the experimental fiberglass plane one day before the fatal crash. It has also been reported that Denver was flying without a proper flying license. A medical report that accompanies licenses was revoked after Denver's two drunk driving offenses. President Clinton said of Denver: "His soaring music evoked the grandeur of our landscape and the simple warmth of human love."
John Denver - All Aboardbutton.gif (123 bytes) A memorial service for John Denver was held on Oct. 17th in Aurora, Colorado with hundreds of family members, friends and fans of the singer. As the mourners entered the church, Denver's music played in the background. A family friend stated, "his music sprang from his feelings of love and the world we live in. Most importantly, his songs resonated with the people." An additional memorial service was held Saturday (Oct. 18th) in Aspen. Denver was cremated in California, and his ashes were brought by friends to Colorado.
