In a moving message, the wife of the missing pilot bid farewell to him, remembering the impact he has made in her life

This morning, Kyla Blackwood-Murray, the wife of the missing 61-year-old pilot shared a moving message of goodbye on Facebook.

The tragic accident occurred on Thursday afternoon when the pilot showcased sky displays near Suncoast Beach. Andrew Blackwood-Murray was part of the sky festivities that wrapped up an international aviation expo for learners.

Kyla shared:
“Yesterday I said goodbye to my most favourite boy in the whole wide world. It was the call I had been dreading my whole life. But I always said I would rather he go doing the things he loves the most. I just didn’t realise he would have left so soon. He was my world. We did everything together and we had so many plans. We were going to grow old and be the most awesome geriatrics together.

He has taken away the biggest piece of my soul and I don’t know how I am going to live without my wingman.

He brought me more joy than I ever imagined possible. He was always there for me helping me become the best version of myself.

I am beyond heartbroken. Just to have one more day with him. If only.

My baby may you soar the skies and visit all the amazing places you had on your bucket list.

You rocked my world. You gave me meaning and purpose and I don’t know how I am going to do life without you.

Thank you for loving me completely. I am devastated. You will always be my person. Forever and always.”

The pilot remains missing while the search for his body continues.
