Bruce Collie shares message about daughter Devyn Reiley after she died in a plane crash at an air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin

Two-time Super Bowl winner Bruce Collie has shared a heartbreaking message about his “hard-working and respectful” daughter Devyn Reiley after the 30-year-old died in a plane crash.

Devyn and her co-pilot Zach Colliemoreno, 30, died when her World War II T-6 Texan crashed into Wisconsin’s Lake Winnebago during Saturday’s Oshkosh air show.

She was the eldest of the former San Francisco 49ers star’s 13 children.

Following the tragedy over the weekend, Collie shared a message written by a family friend on Monday morning.

He prefaced it by writing, “From our friend Amalia Molly Forina. Thank you Molly….”

The family friend shared how she met the family when Holly, Collie’s wife, was pregnant with one of Devyn’s siblings.

“Over the past few years we’ve suddenly had friends pass by, (my husband) Joaquin has said ‘that’s how I want to go, fast and do something I love’…trying to find comfort in that statement,” she wrote.

“I met the Collies when Holly #12 was expecting a 13 year old. Devyn Reiley was the eldest of the Collie clan. When they moved from the big building to Brewsters, she worked behind the bar with Dad, Bruce, and whoever I spoke to when Bruce or Holly weren’t available.

Molly went on to describe how the young woman was a positive presence at the pizzeria Collie opened in Texas after he retired.

‘Always professional, hardworking, respectful and with such a beautiful smile. I once complimented Holly on how beautiful their kids were, her response: “Thank you Molly, they are nice”. Yes they are,’ she continued.

The family friend also praised Devyn for her many achievements at a young age.

“I remember when Devyn wrote her first book, so young and so successful. I followed her journey in getting her pilot’s license and marrying the perfect person for her, Hunter, another pilot, and filming her first commercial for Duluth Trading,” added Molly.

“With this family, you can’t help but celebrate their pride and joy and share in all their milestones and achievements, and now their heartbreak and loss.

‘As a parent I cannot imagine the unfathomable loss of a child, as a Christian I know she is in God’s arms; and I know the Collies have a very strong faith.

“Please pray for the Collie and Reiley families, for the Hunter and Devyn pilot community. Rest in peace beautiful girl.’

Many took the comments to echo Molly’s admiration for the late Devyn.

One comment read, “Gosh, I admired her so much!! Her drive to chase her dreams was so incredibly inspiring!’

Another added: “Thanks for sharing “her” Commercial. What a very special person she was!’

A born-again Christian, Collin was an offensive lineman and also played for the Philadelphia Eagles during his career. He played football at the University of Texas at Arlington and was drafted in the fifth round of the 1985 NFL Draft before retiring in 1991.

Devyn became a certified private pilot in 2017 and later founded the Texas Warbird Museum with her husband and his family.

They aimed to preserve retired World War II military aircraft known as warbirds and to share aviation stories from the Rio Grande Valley.

She also taught at the Texas Aviation Academy in New Braunfels from 2018 until its closure earlier this year.

The accomplished pilot met her husband Hunter of three years at the same aviation meeting where she was killed. The couple also got married at the annual event.

They flew away from their wedding in a Vultee B-13 warbird and their home in Texas was decorated with airplanes.

‘We got married during ‘NOshkosh’ so we can have it every year at Oshkosh! could celebrate,” she wrote on July 26 in honor of their anniversary.

“To living and chasing our dreams together for many more years with my best friend by my side.”

Devyn also trained to become a commercial air pilot and had been accepted into the Air Force Reserves, with the goal of flying tanker trucks.

She was flying a T-6 Texan plane when it crashed into the lake.

Brayden Hiebing was fishing on the lake with his grandfather and told NBC 26 that he saw the plane go down.

“At first I thought they were playing a trick,” Hiebing said.

“I heard the plane coming out of the sky, and it started spinning and I told him, and all of a sudden it made a big splash.”

Hunter Reiley said his wife was in awe of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASP — a civilian women’s pilot association formed during World War II.

“All you wanted was to make the wasp proud. You earned your ‘Fifi’ wings,” he wrote on Facebook.

On Saturday there was a second fatal plane crash during the air show.

A helicopter piloted by Alabama-based instructor and engineer Mark Peterson, 69, was hit from below by a gyrocopter and caught fire.

Both Peterson and his passenger Thomas Volz, 72, of Amelia, Ohio, were killed.
