'The Poor Mom': Widow of 'Speed Racer' Actor Christian Oliver Speaks Out after His & Their 2 Young Daughters' Deaths
Jessica Klepser is "Speed Racer," actor Christian Oliver's wife. She broke her silence after the tragic deaths of her husband and children and has released her statement on Instagram through the WundaBar Pilates account.
The year 2024 started with a tragedy for the Klepser-Oliver family after the husband and children passed away tragically. Less than a week after their deaths, mother Jessica Klepser, the lone survivor of the family, has released her statement surrounding the unfortunate turn of events.
Jessica, who holds the position of Regional Manager in WundaBar California, wrote about the heart-wrenching day on January 4, 2024, when her two girls, Madita and Annik, along with their father, Christian Oliver, rode a plane returning from the Caribbean.
Sadly, the single-engine aircraft experienced engine malfunctions and fell into the ocean. Her family never made it home, as none of the four passengers survived the tragedy.
She described her kids, Madita and Annik, aged 12 and 10, respectively, as students with vibrant attitudes. They had a passion for art and had profound kindness in their hearts. Madita enjoyed performing and excelled in her academics, while Annik loved sports.
Meanwhile, Christian had already established his name in the entertainment scene as an actor in the US and Europe. He was also a real estate agent with a global connection.
Jessica ended her post with a kind request: "In lieu of flowers, there is a GoFundMe set up for the family for anyone wishing to donate." According to the GoFundMe page, donations would provide funding for memorial and legal expenses and the cost of returning the deceased family home.
A few days after the accident, the RSVG Police Force reported what had happened on Facebook. The news revealed details of the aircraft, including its departure from J.F. Mitchell Airport in Paget Farm and arrival at Sta. Lucia at supposedly 12:11 p.m.
However, the small aircraft began experiencing technical difficulties a few moments after flying until it eventually fell into the ocean. All four bodies were recovered by Coast Guard workers but were pronounced dead.
Social media users who read the post shared their thoughts in the comments section, calling Jessica "the poor Mom" and sending their prayers. "I cannot imagine losing so many family members at once. My deepest condolences to the family. How incredibly devastating," another person said.
Christian is not the first celebrity who passed due to an aircraft crash. In 2020, Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Vanessa Bryant, were victims of a tragic helicopter crash.
