Mobile EHR Owner Michael Daly and His Father killed in Fort Worth Plane Crash
FORT WORTH, Texas — Authorities have identified the two people killed in Sunday’s fatal plane crash north of Fort Worth as Michael Daly and his father.
The aircraft involved was a Beechcraft C90 King Air (tail number N291CC), a twin-engine turboprop capable of seating up to nine passengers.
The tragic crash occurred in the 12700 block of North Saginaw Boulevard, near Avondale, according to the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office.
The aircraft went down in what appears to be a vacant truck lot, located just north of a trailer park. The impact caused a massive fire, with thick black smoke visible for miles.
Emergency crews from Fort Worth, Haslet, and Saginaw fire departments responded swiftly to the scene.
Despite their rapid arrival, both occupants of the plane were pronounced dead at the site.
The Beechcraft King Air was owned by Mobile EHR, Inc., a healthcare software development company founded by Michael Daly.
According to his professional profile, Daly was a highly skilled software developer who began programming in 1992 while still in high school.
After graduating in 1996, he launched his career in software development for the oil and gas industry, specializing in C and Assembly programming for embedded systems before transitioning to desktop software when Windows 3.1 was introduced.
By 2008, Daly had advanced to leadership roles in software development and later founded a successful iPad and iPhone app company in 2010, creating advanced healthcare records software. His company focused on .NET, SQL, Silverlight, and Objective-C development.
Michael Daly leaves behind his wife and four children.
Witnesses described hearing a loud explosion moments before spotting flames and smoke rising from the crash site.
A nearby café worker reported that a customer ran inside urging staff to call 911. When witnesses rushed outside, they saw the wreckage engulfed in flames after the plane struck several 18-wheeler-style work trucks parked in the lot.
Surveillance video from a nearby business captured the aircraft’s final moments, showing it descending rapidly before impact.
A business in the area, Revive Wellness and Aesthetics, announced it would close for the day following the tragedy, stating:
“Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in this tragic incident, and we deeply appreciate the first responders for their quick action.”
The Fort Worth Fire Department confirmed both victims were pronounced deceased at the scene.
No injuries on the ground were reported.
Authorities have notified the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), who will conduct a full investigation to determine the cause of the crash.
As of now, officials have not released additional information regarding the flight’s origin or destination.
