ATLANTA — The memorial service for the President and General Manager of Studio Operations at Tyler Perry Studios has been announced.
Steve Mensch, 62, died when the small plane that he was piloting crashed on Florida’s Gulf Coast on Dec. 6.
The public memorial service for Mensch will be held on Saturday, Dec. 28 at Noon at the Tara Theatre on Cheshire Bridge Road in Atlanta.
“We are incredibly saddened by the passing of our dear friend Steve Mensch,” the studio said in a statement. “Steve was a cherished member of our team for more than eight years and well-beloved in the community of Atlanta. It’s hard to imagine not seeing him smiling throughout the halls. We will miss him dearly. Our heart goes out to his family as we all send them our prayers.”
He is survived by his wife, Danila, and their three children Adelayna, Charles and Josephine Mensch.
In place of flowers, the family says donations can be sent to the Steve Mensch Family Fund at the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, which supports causes that Mensch was passionate about.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.
