On Instagram, the flag football team honored Kelly before being “the most loving teammate, friend, and a truly remarkable person who touched the lives of so many with her kindness and warmth.”
“Kelly was one of the most passionate athletes who strived for nothing but success in everything she did,” the team said in its statement, noting that Kelly played and excelled at three sports.
“She was a leader both on and off the field, mentoring many, as well as leaving a stamp on everyone she touched,” the flag football team added.
Tim Olson, an aviation enthusiast, told The Orange County Register that he knew Pascal to be a “diligent” and “responsible” pilot and aircraft builder.
“It’s real sad to hear that it ended this way for him,” Olson said. “I know from talking back and forth that he did travel, camped out with his plane around the country a bunch.”
The plane — a single-engine Van's RV-10 — was carrying Kelly and Pascal on its way back to the airport when it struck the building, according to ABC affiliate KABC-TV.
An investigation was opened following the crash.
