Chris was Travis's assistant.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families.

The plane crash is still under investigation, however, during a press conference late Saturday morning a spokeswoman for the National Transportation Safety Board revealed that the plane overran the airstrip and proceeded to run into a number of the airport's lights and antenna.

Air traffic controllers reportedly "saw sparks coming from the runway" before the crash. Investigators don't know if that was from the aircraft or its engines.

We have lost so many good DJ's and Great people this year our hearts go out to everyone effected by this tragedy.
