 AVONDALE, TX — The residents of Avondale are mourning the tragic loss of Michael Daly and his father, John Daly, who passed away when their Beechcraft King Air crashed into an unoccupied truck yard situated just north of a local trailer park. The aircraft impacted several stationary large trucks before erupting into flames, providing no chance for escape and leaving a profound impact on family, friends, and colleagues.


The event transpired in the afternoon, causing a massive explosion that was visible from a considerable distance. Emergency services from Avondale and surrounding areas promptly responded, rushing to the scene to extinguish the fire and assess the damage done. Despite their rapid action, both Michael and John Daly were found deceased at the site of the incident.


Authorities confirmed that the aircraft was owned by Michael Daly's business, Mobile EHR Inc., which specializes in healthcare technology and was founded after years of experience in software development. Daly began his programming career in high school and created a successful company that revolutionized the management of electronic health records in healthcare settings.


Witnesses nearby recounted the frightening moment when the aircraft hit the truck yard. “It was a massive explosion, and we saw flames shooting high into the sky,” one resident recounted. “There was nothing we could do to assist—it was truly devastating.” Roads in the area were quickly closed as firefighters worked to contain the fire and ensure that there were no further threats.

The aftermath of the crash impacted more than just the victims. Numerous large trucks parked nearby were completely destroyed, and the blaze caused minor damage to nearby properties. Authorities reported that no civilians were injured, but the imagery of the event has left local residents feeling uneasy.


Both the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board have begun investigations into the accident. Officials are scrutinizing flight logs, aircraft maintenance records, and security footage to determine the factors that led to this tragic event. Preliminary reports have not clarified the cause of the crash, but investigators are considering all possibilities, including mechanical issues, pilot mistakes, and environmental conditions.


Michael Daly was honored by his colleagues as an inventive business leader whose influence on healthcare technology was considerable and meaningful. His leadership at Mobile EHR Inc. changed the way medical offices handle patient information, and his creative spirit inspired many in the technology and healthcare fields.


John Daly, his father, was also deeply respected and loved, with family and friends describing him as a devoted parent and a consistent pillar of support. Their absence is profoundly felt within both professional and personal communities, creating a void that will be difficult to fill.
