Bill > HR692

This resolution honors the lives and legacy of Kelly Nelon Clark, Jason Clark, and Amber Nelon Kistler, members of the Southern Gospel group The Nelons, who tragically died in a plane crash on July 26, 2024, while traveling to perform on the Gaither Homecoming Cruise to Alaska. The resolution highlights the group's significant contributions to Gospel music, including their induction into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame in 2016, their release of over 35 albums, and more than 20 Top 5 Southern Gospel radio singles. It also commends Autumn Nelon Streetman, the surviving member of the family group, for her resilience in the face of profound loss and her commitment to continuing the family's musical heritage, including releasing an album that was later nominated for a Grammy Award. The resolution formally honors the deceased members, extends condolences to the family, and directs the House Clerk to provide an official copy of the resolution to Autumn Nelon Streetman as a gesture of recognition and support.
