Noir Nation, please join us in extending our deepest condolences to the President and general manager of studio operations at Tyler Perry Studios following a fatal plane crash!
According to reports from CNN, Steve Mensch passed away on Friday, December 6th in Florida. Officials state that the 62-year-old was discovered dead at the scene of the crash around 8 PM in Citrus County by Florida Highway Patrol. Though his name wasn’t released at the time of the accident, news of Steve’s passing was confirmed in a written statement to CNN on Saturday.
“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.”
“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.”
Tyler took to social media on December 7th to remember Steve in a heartwarming post.
“This time of year, grief meets me like an unwanted visitor, as tomorrow marks 15 years since the loss of my mother. It feels especially harder because I have lost so many friends and mentors this year, ranging in age from as young as 40 to 92. And today, yet another loss.”
“I’ve been trying to understand this tragedy all day — what went wrong with that plane. Steve loved flying, and he loved that plane; he took so much pride in it,” added Tyler. “Steve Mensch was truly a kind soul and a great leader at the studio. We all adored him and are devastated that he’s gone. I’m praying for his family as we all try to make sense of this heartbreak.”
He concluded, “Life is but a moment; we are like vapors. Hold strong to the people you love AND TELL THEM!”
Sources confirm that Steve is survived by his wife Danila and their three children.
