Illinois gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey and his wife, Cindy, are absolutely heartbroken after tragically losing four members of their family in a helicopter crash in Montana on Wednesday. You just don’t ever want to hear news like this, and it’s an unimaginable loss for any parent.
The devastating crash claimed the lives of their son, Zachary; his wife, Kelsey; and two of their young children: 12-year-old Vada Rose and 7-year-old Samuel. Thankfully, the couple’s third son, 10-year-old Finn, was not on the helicopter and is safe. This news was announced on Thursday by Bailey’s campaign. Bailey’s campaign said in a statement, “Darren and Cindy are heartbroken by this unimaginable loss. They are finding comfort in their faith, their family, and the prayers of so many who love and care for them.”
