Coral Springs, FL | November 10, 2025-A tragic plane crash claimed the lives of Alexander Wurm, 53, and his 22-year-old daughter, Serena Wurm, on Monday, November 10, 2025, as they were en route to Jamaica on a hurricane relief mission. The crash occurred shortly after the plane took off from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, heading for Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
What Happened
The plane, a small aircraft, crashed into a waterway in a residential area of Coral Springs, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, just five minutes after taking off. The aircraft did not strike any homes but collided with trees before entering the water. Despite the swift response from emergency teams, both Alexander Wurm and Serena Wurm were declared dead at the scene.
Fortunately, no one on the ground was injured. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has launched an investigation into the cause of the crash. Initial reports suggest that the plane was part of a humanitarian mission to aid those impacted by the devastating effects of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, which has caused catastrophic damage to the island.
Who Were Alexander and Serena Wurm?
Alexander Wurm, known for his “warmth and unwavering kindness,” was a dedicated humanitarian who devoted his life to helping others. He traveled extensively, bringing faith, compassion, and aid to people across various continents. According to a statement from Ignite the Fire Ministry, where Alexander was actively involved, his legacy of service touched the lives of countless individuals.
Serena Wurm, following in her father’s footsteps, was described as a beacon of empathy and hope. She committed herself to humanitarian work, inspiring others with her dedication and passion for helping those in need. Together, the Wurms’ final mission embodied selflessness and courage, reminding the world of the power of service and love.
The Wurm Family’s Legacy
Alexander and Serena leave behind Candace Wurm, a wife and mother, and their two other children, James (17) and Christiana (20). The family, known for their charitable work and commitment to helping others, has been left devastated by the loss of two of its most compassionate members. The Wurms’ tragic passing marks a profound loss for their community and the many lives they impacted through their tireless efforts.
A Mission of Mercy for Hurricane-Hit Jamaica
The Wurms were traveling to Jamaica to assist with relief efforts after Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm, ravaged the island and other parts of the Caribbean. Jamaica has experienced widespread destruction, with over 4.8 million tons of debris blocking roads, schools, hospitals, and markets, slowing relief efforts. Tens of thousands of homes have been damaged, particularly in St. Elizabeth and Westmoreland, where up to 90% of buildings were impacted.
The Wurms’ dedication to helping the people of Jamaica in the aftermath of the storm is a testament to their commitment to humanitarian work. Their passing has added to the grief felt by those already suffering in the wake of the hurricane, but their legacy of service will continue to inspire others to contribute to the recovery efforts.
Ongoing Investigation
The NTSB is continuing to investigate the cause of the crash, and authorities are reviewing all available data, including flight records and the plane’s condition. It remains unclear whether mechanical failure, weather conditions, or human error contributed to the crash. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
Tributes and Community Reactions
In the wake of the tragedy, Ignite the Fire Ministry expressed their sorrow, describing the Wurms as individuals whose lives were dedicated to serving others. “Their final journey embodied the values they lived by every day—selflessness, courage, and love,” the ministry wrote in a statement.
The community, both in Florida and Jamaica, is mourning the loss of two devoted individuals who spent their lives helping those in need. Tributes continue to pour in, with friends, colleagues, and individuals impacted by their work remembering the Wurms for their kindness, compassion, and dedication to others.
Closing Thoughts
Though their lives were tragically cut short, Alexander and Serena Wurm’s legacy of service will live on through the many people they helped and the causes they championed. The Wurms will always be remembered for their unwavering commitment to those in need and for the joy they brought into the lives of everyone they met.
