It was a tragic incident that shook the entire community when Seuk Kim and one of the rescue dogs he was transporting lost their lives in a plane crash. Seuk, a 49-year-old pilot, had volunteered to fly three dogs from Maryland to Albany, New York to a facility where they could receive proper care and attention. However, the flight took a turn for the worse when the plane crashed in the Catskill Mountains near the town of Windham on Sunday evening.
According to the Greene County Sheriff's Office, the small plane, a single-engine Mooney M20, went down shortly after 6 pm. On Monday, the wreckage was discovered by local authorities in Catskill State Park, with only Seuk on board. It was a heartbreaking sight as his body, along with that of one of the dogs, was found at the scene. The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that there were no other passengers on the plane.
Fortunately, two of the dogs survived the crash, albeit with injuries. One was found with broken legs, while the other was found later with minor injuries. The injured dog was immediately transported to a veterinarian by Hyer Ground Rescue and Partners for Animal Welfare. It was a relief to know that at least some lives were spared in this tragedy.
Seuk, a resident of Springfield, Virginia, was a devoted husband and father of three. His wife, Anna Kang, took to Facebook to express her grief and pay tribute to her beloved husband. She described him as her "life long partner, soul mate, and father of her children," and said she was "heartbroken" by his sudden departure. She also shared a photo of Seuk with a big smile on his face, sitting inside an airplane, which was a testament to his passion for flying.
In the midst of this tragedy, the community came together to support Seuk's family. A donation page was set up to cover his funeral expenses, and it was heartwarming to see the outpouring of love and support. As of Tuesday night, more than $44,000 had been donated. Seuk's wife expressed her gratitude and said that he would be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Seuk had a special place in the hearts of those who knew him, especially in the animal rescue community. He was known for his selfless and kind nature, always wearing a smile on his face. The animal rescue group SFC Virginia, who had entrusted the three dogs to Seuk, mourned his loss and said that the community had lost an incredible person. They fondly remembered him as someone who was always cheerful and positive, never seen in a bad mood.
Seuk's death was a tragic loss, but his wife found solace in the fact that he was doing what he loved when he gained his "angel wings." She asked for prayers for her husband and their family during this difficult time. Seuk's legacy will live on, not just in the hearts of his loved ones, but also in the hearts of the animals he helped rescue and the people he touched with his kind and generous spirit.
