MOUNTAIN GREEN — Daleray Madewell, 47, died doing the two things he loved: flying and helping people.

He had been flying 36-year-old Jennifer Sebesta back to Douglas, Wyo., from the Morgan County Airport after she saw her grandmother in Salt Lake City, said Doug McDuff, a friend who knew him for years.

The two were supposed to be back by Thursday evening, but McDuff said he got the news Friday morning that the Cessna 210 piloted by Madewell “had been in a very horrible crash.”
