Date and Time: July 2, 2022, 08:29 Local
Registration: N270SA
Aircraft: Piper PA-28-140
Injuries: 1 Fatal, 1 Serious
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal
On July 2, 2022, about 829 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28-140 airplane, N270SA, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The pilot sustained serious injuries and the passenger was fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that after takeoff from runway 18 at the Sundance Airport (HSD), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the airplane did not perform as it normally would. He stated that as the airplane climbed above the height of the nearby houses, the airspeed and altitude began to decrease. Unable to climb, he allowed the airplane to drift west to avoid “putting anything in danger.” As he began a right turn, he lowered the nose to remain under transmission lines, but the airplane seemed to immediately “fall out of the sky.” The airplane subsequently impacted the ground and slid to a stop, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage.
Several witnesses described seeing the airplane low to the ground, not climbing, and in a right turn before it impacted the ground.
A detailed wreckage examination is pending.

Brent Waguespack
July 29, 1951 - July 4, 2022
Resided in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
~
Roy Brent Waguespack was born July 29, 1951 to Roy T. Waguespack and Connie O. Waguespack in Tulsa, OK. He was soon joined by his sister, Lisa Joy. His dad coached him as a pitcher in baseball, he played football in junior high, and became a state champion swimmer in High School. Marci and Brent first crossed paths in Intermediate Algebra. They then became High School sweethearts after Marci asked Brent to a “Sadie Hawkins” dance. Brent became an OU Sooner and earned his BBA. Marci followed and they married in 1972. They moved back to Tulsa for Marci to do a Med Tech Internship, and Brent went back to school at OSU Tech to study electronics. In 1977, they returned to OKC and he accepted a job with Control Data/ Honeywell, which eventually changed names again before becoming BancTec. He became more interested in computers and became a certified specialist and eventually a LAN Engineer for NCED/US Postal Service.
It was during high school that Brent dedicated his life to Christ. In his adult church life, he taught adult Sunday school, sang in the choir, served on the mowing team, and served as a Youth prayer partner. Brent volunteered in many areas. He was a Reading Tutor with Elementary students at Harvest Hills Literacy Program, he volunteered with the American Red Cross after the last big Moore tornado and volunteered with the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence.
After a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma in 2018, he underwent chemotherapy and a Stem Cell transplant. He had happily been in remission for the last 4 years. His “retirement” job was as a school crossing guard at DD Kirkland Elementary School. There he felt much appreciated by the parents, students and staff. He came home with a new “kid” story almost every night.
Brent has always been devoted to his family. He was a great son, brother, husband, Dad and Poppie. His legacy is his family; he and his wife Marci celebrated their 50th anniversary in January of 2022. He is survived by his son Martin Edward Waguespack, his daughter Laura Emily, and son-in-law Jim Labus, grandson Luke Broderick, and granddaughters Madelynn Joy, and Nora Jane Labus. He is best loved by his kid sister Lisa Sykes, and brother-in-law Donnie Sykes, sister-in-law Marianne Adams, brother-in-law Ray Sinclair, brother-in-law Bob Baker, and all of his extended family.
A memorial service to celebrate Roy’s life will be held Saturday, July 9, 2022, at 1 p.m. at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 10600 N. Council Rd., Oklahoma City.
The family requests that any Donations be made to the ‘Playground Fund’ at St. Paul's Lutheran Church. You may send checks, or cash, with a note of “Brent Waguespack Memorial'', or call the church office if an electronic donation needs to be made.
