Sorry 'bout that, forgot to include an excerpt from the e-mail:

"[...] Kelly had a passion for flight, and served as a flight
instructor at TSI in addition to owning and operating his own
aerobatic flight instruction business, Teague Aviation (http://
www.okaerobatics.com).

Kelly was killed on Sunday afternoon while piloting an experimental
aircraft known as a gyrocopter at Clarence E. Page Municipal Airport
in western Oklahoma City. Kelly was an extremely valued member of the
RITA family, and he will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and
colleagues.

Please join me in keeping Kelly and his family in your thoughts and
prayers."

It appears from a web photo of the crash that this was the aircraft:

The death of this relatively young, skilled aviator is a great loss to those
in the Oklahoma region who sought out his training, and ultimately, to GA in
the US.
