“We are deeply saddened by the tragic plane crash on January 4, 2024, which claimed the lives of our beloved family members. Our daughters, Mandita (12) and Annick (10), along with their father Christian, were returning from a holiday in the Caribbean when The single-engine plane they were traveling in developed engine trouble and crashed into the ocean.. Unfortunately, the four passengers of the small plane did not survive,” the message explains.
Christian Oliver’s Daughters
In the text, Kepler describes his late daughters: “Mandita, a lively seventh grader at Louis Armstrong Middle School, was known for her lively spirit and excelled in academics, dance, singing and acting.”
“Annik, a fourth grader at Wonderland Ave Elementary School, was recognized for her kind, yet strong demeanor. She was always the first to offer a kind word or a comforting hug. Her passions included basketball, swimming, and various forms of art.”
“The deep bond, infectious laughter and adventurous spirit that Mandita and Annick share will be deeply missed in their communities,” he added.
“Christian, an actor in Europe and the United States, and a real estate agent with a wide network of close friends around the world, lives with Jessica, his parents and his sister in Germany. His loss will be felt by all who knew him.”
In the statement, the Klepser family is asking for “privacy” given the “difficult time” they are going through.
