Bill > SR114

This resolution commemorates the tragic loss of three medical helicopter crew members who died in a crash in Madison County, Mississippi, on March 10, 2025, while serving with AirCare3, a medical emergency service jointly operated by the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) and Med-Trans Corporation. The resolution identifies the three victims: Dustin Pope, a 35-year-old flight nurse and base supervisor from Philadelphia, Mississippi; Jakob Kindt, a 37-year-old critical care paramedic from Tupelo; and Cal Wesolowski, a 62-year-old Med-Trans pilot from Starkville. The document highlights that this was the first crash in the 29-year history of AirCare emergency services and includes statements from state leaders, including Governor Tate Reeves and Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann, who praised the crew's heroism and sacrifice. The resolution formally recognizes the crew members' dedicated service, extends sympathy to their families, and calls for remembering and honoring first responders not just in times of tragedy, but every day. It concludes by directing that the resolution be forwarded to UMMC's Vice Chancellor and made available to the press corps.
