Steve Mensch, the president and general manager at Tyler Perry Studios, was killed when a single-engine plane he was piloting crashed Friday night in Florida.
The Citrus County Sheriff’s office identified Mensch as the sole occupant of the single-engine fixed-wing airplane that crashed Friday around 8 p.m. in Homosassa.
“We are incredibly saddened by the passing of our dear friend, Steve Mensch. Steve was a cherished member of our team for more than 8 years, and well beloved in the community of Atlanta,” the studio said in a statement. “It is hard to imagine not seeing him smiling throughout the halls. We will miss him dearly. Our heart goes out to his family as we all send them our prayers.”
