Sidney Emmert in plane

Sidney Emmert died of injuries suffered from a plane crash this weekend in Colorado. He was 50.

Emmert was piloting a vintage single-engine stunt plane when it crashed in the mountains 100 miles south of Denver and 55 miles west of Colorado Springs. KKTV reported the plane’s passenger, Dr. Robert Hamilton, tried to pull Emmert from the plane right after the crash. Emmert was unresponsive and investigators said he may have died on impact.

Hamilton was taken to a nearby hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

The burning plane ignited a wildfire which has grown to 100 acres outside Wetmore, about 55 miles southeast of Colorado Springs. At last report the fire was not contained.

The two were taking part in a cross-country trek as part of a vacation.

Emmert resided in Oklahoma City and was a long-time member of the Western Oaks Church of the Nazarene. He is survived by his wife, Sonya, and two married daughters, Kim (John) Metcalf and Lori (Nick) Bollinger.

"Sid was a godly man who loved his family and served the Lord with distinction and honor,” said Hardy Powers, pastor of the Western Oaks church. “He was a blessing to everyone."

Emmert distinguished himself as a businessman, inventor, and entrepreneur manufacturing instruments and tools for the paintless dent removal industry.

W. Talmadge Johnson, general superintendent emeritus and former Southwest Oklahoma District superintendent and pastor, said, "Sid Emmert was an incredibly gifted inventor and an extraordinary churchman. He will be greatly missed.”

Mercer-Adams Funeral Home in Bethany, Oklahoma, will be handling the funeral. Visitation will be Thursday, 7-9 p.m. at Mercer-Adams. Funeral services will be held Friday at 2 p.m. at the Western Oaks church.

More information will be available later this week.

La bandera de Aruba consiste de una estrella roja y dos líneas amarillas. La estrella roja representa los cuatro puntos del compás, ya que la isla atrajo personas de todas partes del mundo. La estrella también representa a la isla en si, rodeada por el hermoso mar azul. Las líneas amarillas horizontales denotan la posición libre y separada que Aruba disfruta en el Reino de los Países Bajos. El azul representa al mar que rodea a Aruba; el amarillo es el color de la abundancia, representando el pasado de la isla y sus industrias de oro, aloe y aceite; el rojo es el amor que cada nativo de Aruba siente por su país y por la antigua industria de Palo de Brasil; y el blanco simboliza las playas de arena blanca al igual que la pureza de los corazones de la gente de Aruba que se esfuerzan por justicia, orden y libertad.
