"I knew him since he was 15, and I always knew he had it in him," she said of Mays' success. "He'll live on forever because he always had the biggest heart in the world. He loved his friends and family and would do anything for them. He was a generous soul and a great father."

He must've had at least one child - sounds like with his former (first?) wife.

ETA: I hadn't heard anything about the plane incident, either. I'm wondering if there's a connection. (The article says that connecting the rough landing with his death would be pure speculation.)
