0SHARESShareTweetSteven Walker Obituary, Death – Manitowoc County Sheriff Dan Hartwig has confirmed the tragic death of Steven Walker, a 57-year-old resident of Keller, Texas, in a plane crash. The incident occurred in Kossuth Township, located approximately 80 miles north of Milwaukee. Although there appears to be a discrepancy in the initial reporting regarding the day of the crash, it has been clarified that the crash took place on Wednesday. The pilot, Steven Walker, was the sole occupant of the aircraft when the accident occurred.
The plane was discovered submerged in a pond within Kossuth Township. This remote location added to the complexity of the recovery and investigation efforts. The chain of events leading to the discovery of the crash began when the Manitowoc County Joint Dispatch Center received a call from the Chicago Center Air Traffic Control Center.
The call informed authorities that the plane had not reached its intended destination, raising concerns about its whereabouts and safety. Subsequently, the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched an investigation into the incident. The goal of this joint investigation is to uncover the cause of the crash, including any contributing factors or mechanical issues.
Additionally, the authorities will seek to determine why there was a discrepancy between the initial Facebook post by Sheriff Hartwig, which indicated a Thursday crash, and the later confirmation that the incident occurred on Wednesday. This tragic event serves as a reminder of the importance of aviation safety and the dedicated efforts of law enforcement and aviation authorities to understand and prevent such incidents in the future. The thoughts and condolences of the community go out to the family and friends of Steven Walker during this difficult time.
