4. Troy Gentry
Another beloved and famous star who was tragically killed in a helicopter crash was country singer Troy Gentry. He was part of a country music band called Montgomery Gentry, and the band was known for their no-holds-barred style of country music; the pair was often cited as one of the most hard-rocking acts in the genre.
But we lost one of the most appreciated performers on September 8th, 2017, when Troy Gentry was killed in a helicopter collision near Medford, New Jersey.
The band confirmed Gentry’s death in a Facebook post and said further information on the incident was forthcoming. Gentry left behind his beautiful wife, Angie, and their children, Kaylee and Taylor.

Get your facts straight AI. JFK Jr., his wife and sister in law perished in a plane that he was flying.
You did not have Kobe Bryant., his daughter and others on their way to a game , John Denver, Rick Nelson, John Kennedy made a fatal mistake flying his plane when he did not know enough knowledge to fly it yet and is was a plane not a helicopter . Race car driver Kiel Petty’s son, Bobby Allison’s son and Rick Hendricks only son, just to name a few.
