Businessman Chris Sheafe, wife named in fatal Arizona plane crash
Plane makes emergency landing on Phoenix street
Emergency crews respond to a small plane that made an emergency landing along Seventh Street near Camelback Road.
Chris Sheafe, a longtime member of the Rio Nuevo Board, and his wife, Jacque Sheafe, were killed in last week’s plane crash at Marana Regional Airport, the board said April 11.
Board member Taunya Villicana shared the announcement on Facebook on behalf of the board.
Rio Nuevo is a tax increment finance district created by voters in 1999 to revitalize downtown Tucson. It uses state sales tax revenue to partner with private developers on redevelopment projects, according to its website.
The Sheafes died April 8 when their single-engine Piper PA-32R-301T crashed while attempting to land at the airport northwest of Tucson.
The crash occurred about 5:15 p.m. when authorities said the aircraft went off the end of the runway and caught fire. No other injuries were reported.
Villicana said Chris Sheafe had served as treasurer of the Rio Nuevo Board since 2012. As of April 12, the board’s website still listed him as treasurer.
He played a key role in managing tax dollars and helping guide downtown development projects, Villicana said.
“His property development experience and financial acumen have been major factors in our success,” she said.
Chris Sheafe previously ran Estes Homes, served on the Pima County Bond Commission and was a former chairman of the Tucson Airport Authority, according to Villicana.
“He loved life, he loved Jacque (a pure joy to be around), he cherished his time with Rio Nuevo and he loved to fly. As fellow pilots, we often talked about our love of flying and the fact that the sky is unforgiving,” she said.
The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration were investigating the crash. The cause has not been determined.
The Rio Nuevo Board planned to observe a moment of silence at 1 p.m. April 14 during its regular meeting to honor their former treasurer, Villicana said.
“Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, stop and look to our unforgiving sky to honor his legacy and love of Tucson,” she said.

3 injured after small plane crashes down on busy Arizona road: ‘100% a miracle’
Three people were injured when a small plane crash-landed onto a busy Arizona road on Sunday afternoon, according to authorities.
The pilot of a privately-owned Republic RC-3 plane made an “emergency gear-up landing” near 7th Street and Missouri Avenue in Phoenix around 3:25 p.m. local time, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and the Phoenix Police Department.
Three people on board the single-engine plane miraculously suffered only minor injuries, Arizona Family reported.
Photos posted to social media showed at least one individual crawling out of the dented white-and-blue aircraft as it leaned into the road verge.
The pilot with over 40 years of flying experience had attempted to avoid power lines and find a clear place to land, Phoenix Fire Captain DJ Lee told the outlet.
The plane hit a water main during the freak landing, but no vehicles or buildings were struck on the busy intersection.
“It is 100% a miracle,” Lee said.
Roads surrounding the scene were closed into Sunday evening as emergency crews removed the plane and worked to repair water main issues, authorities said.
It is not immediately clear what led the crew to make the emergency landing. The FAA will investigate the incident.
The crash comes mere days after a couple, Chris and Jacque Sheafe, were killed when a single-engine Piper PA-32 ran off the runway and erupted in flames at Arizona’s Marana Regional Airport on Wednesday, KOLD reported.
On the same day, a Cessna T-41B plane “veered off the runway” at the Sun Valley-Bison- Fort Mohave Airport in Arizona, and plowed right into a home’s garage.
The two people steering the small aircraft were hospitalized with injuries.
