UVALDE, Texas – Family, childhood friends and others are sharing moving messages on social media following the deaths of newlyweds Will Byler and Bailee Ackerman in a helicopter crash Sunday.
Here are some of the tributes flooding social media with memories of the couple, as well as the pilot who also died in the crash.
Forgot I had this video but, just decided to share it in honor of his memory. This was two years ago at the McNeese Halloween Rodeo. I remember Wyatt Sbrusch texting me they were gonna be penguins and I was definitely not expecting this, but you never knew what to expect with those two. Rest easy Will Byler and to his gorgeous bride, Bailee. We may never understand God plans but we have to trust in him. Many many prayers to both of their families and loved ones.
