The post reads, “It’s with great sadness to report we have lost our Montana Legend at the young age of 52. Darrell Ward had just left The Great American Truck Show in Dallas, Texas where he enjoyed meeting numerous fans and friends and was heading to Missoula to begin filming a pilot for his new documentary style show involving the recovery of plane wrecks when he and his co-pilot crashed and lost their lives.”
The message continues, pointing out Ward’s love of family, giving back to the community and, of course, trucking. He recently finished filming the current season of “Ice Road Truckers,” which he discovered was renewed for another season that will begin filming next winter.
