Family, friends offer thoughts on 10 killed in crash
Kamber's husband since May 2007, Dallin Ellsworth, was one of 10 Cedar City area residents killed in a plane crash outside of Moab on Friday. The plane carried a pilot and nine employees of Red Canyon Aesthetics and Medical Spa dermatology clinic.
"He's a really good husband, and a really good father," Kamber said about Dallin, to whom she still referred in the present tense on Sunday. "He loves to talk to him, and the baby moves all the time."
"He wasn't scheduled to work on Friday," Kamber said of her husband. "Someone asked him to switch."
The Ellsworth family lost Dallin, 23, and his father, Dr. Lansing Ellsworth, 50, director of the clinic. Also killed were David Goddard, 60, a physician assistant; Cecilee Goddard, 31, a medical assistant; Mandy Johnson, 20, who worked in billing; Marci Tillery, 29, a histologist; Valerie Imlay, 52, an aesthetician; Keith Shumway, 26, clinic employee; Camie Vigil, 32, an aesthetician and pilot David White, 42.
Federal investigators were on scene Sunday and likely will remain there for part of today, said National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Keith Holloway.
"At some point, they will begin the process of removing the wreckage," he said. "They'll take it somewhere they can lay it out and further examine it. But the wreckage was pretty much consumed in the fire."
A preliminary report, which will likely include details of the crash but not the cause, should be released early next week, Holloway said.
Dr. Ellsworth and his staff traveled to Moab monthly, seeing as many patients as possible in a day.
Sunday morning, during a stake conference for the Cedar North Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Stake President Bret Whittier said family members of Lansing and Dallin Ellsworth and Valerie Imlay were in the stake.
"Many of you are aware of the terrible tragedy that happened in our community, the plane that went down in Moab, has affected many people," President Whittier said at the beginning of the conference. "Ten lives were lost. Our hearts and our prayers go out to those individuals' families."
