The Nelons, formerly the Rex Nelon Singers, were an American southern gospel group based in Atlanta, Georgia. Group members included Kelly Nelon Clark, her husband Jason Clark, and Kelly's daughters Amber Nelon Kistler and Autumn Nelon Streetman. The Nelons were inducted into the Gospel Music Association (GMA) Hall of Fame in 2016.[1]
Three members of the quartet were killed in an airplane crash in July 2024. The surviving member, Autumn Nelon Streetman, was not on board the aircraft.[2] Kelly Nelon Clark, Jason Clark, and Amber Nelon Kistler all died in the crash in a remote part of Campbell County, Wyoming, just north of Gillette.
