Greg and Cristina were devoted parents and active philanthropists whose lives revolved around their children—Greg’s daughter, Emma (mother: Nicole Lunders), and their young son, Ryder. Emma was a kind, compassionate, and deeply loved young woman, while Ryder was an energetic, curious, and endlessly joyful child.
Dennis Dutton and his son Jack were also deeply loved, and their loss is felt by all who knew them. Craig Wadsworth, a respected member of the NASCAR community, was cherished by many and will be greatly missed.
Each of them meant everything to us, and their absence leaves an immeasurable void in our lives. We ask for privacy, compassion, and understanding as we grieve and begin to process this unimaginable loss. We are deeply grateful for the kindness and support extended to our families during this incredibly difficult time.
At this moment, our focus is on honoring their lives and supporting one another.”
Former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle, 55, his wife Cristina Biffle, their children Emma, 14, and Ryder, 5, were among those killed when a Cessna C550 business jet crashed Thursday morning at Statesville Regional Airport, according to a statement posted by U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.).
