The victims of a plane crash that killed 11 passengers and a pilot on a skydiving outing in Missouri have started to be identified.

The crash, near Butler Memorial Airport, took place on Sunday at around 11:30 a.m. local time, about 65 miles south of Kansas City. The Skydive Kansas City (Skydive KC) plane was engulfed in fire when it "landed in a field adjacent to the airport," Missouri State Highway Patrol's Justin Ewing said.

Authorities have not yet released the names of the people who died, but some family members, friends, and colleagues have started paying tribute to their loved ones publicly.

Jen Sharp

Jen Sharp, was technology director for Skydiving’s governing body, the United States Parachute Association. She was identified by the association.

"Jen was a remarkable force whose passion for the skies was matched only by her dedication to the people in our sport," said USPA Executive Director Albert Berchtold.

"Her loss leaves an unfillable void in our office, our community, and our hearts. We are incredibly grateful for the years of laughter, innovation, and friendship we shared with her."

Michael Shanahan

Michael Shanahan’s son’s friend, Brandon Carney, identified him in a fundraiser he set up for Shanahan’s family.

Shanahan was on his way to his 23^rd tandem jump, he said.

“He was a humble human and a very dedicated native to the city,” Carney wrote. “He loved his friends and this man worked very hard.”

His mother, Gloria Shanahan, told the Kansas City Star that he started skydiving after the death of his sister, Nikki Minick, from breast cancer in 2016.

“Michael saw her working so hard to survive that he decided then to enjoy life,” she said.

Dave Hershberger

The North Kansas City School District told local schools that orchestra teacher Dave Hershberger was among those who died, according to local broadcaster KSHB 41 News.

"Mr. Hershberger was a beloved member of the Antioch and Oak Park family and was not only a passionate educator and talented musician, but one of the kindest humans,” the district said. “Mr. Hershberger has inspired so many of our students through his love for music and the way he treated others every day. He modeled appreciation and genuine care for everyone who was lucky enough to know him."
