One of the two men who died in a small plane crash on the Westside was active duty Navy.
NAS Jacksonville confirmed he was 27-year-old Louis Charles Pasderetz.
Since his tragic death, there’s been an outpouring of mourners from Illinois, Virginia and Florida, all saying he was taken too soon.
“A good man and friend,” Those are the words heard by many as they mourn the death of Louis Charles Pasderetz.
Pasderetz was one of two people in this single-engine plane crash. Onlookers said they tried to rescue the two, but the plane was fully engulfed in flames.
“Still can’t believe it,” one friend said. “You were one of my first buddies at the squadron. You always knew what to say and had so many great stories...”

His hometown was Palos Hills, Illinois but he’d made friends along the east coast including North Carolina, Virginia and Florida.
Outside of the military he had a love for truck racing and was the “Super Trucks Division Champion” for military competing at Langley Speedway in Hampton, Virginia in 2020."
