Mosaic Life Care dedicated its newly renovated Helipad Wednesday in honor of three who perished in the line of duty four years ago.

A ceremony was held in honor of Flight Nurse Randy Bever, Flight Paramedic Chris Frakes and Pilot James Fruedenberg. The three died in a LifeNet helicopter crash in Clay County in 2011.

Sarah Cassity spoke about the dedication and touched on her memories of the three.

“Chris also had a way of being the calm during the storm,” Cassity said. “He and Randy went almost hand-in-hand.  Where there was one there was almost always the other.”

“So many people knew Randy in the emergency care community,” said Jeff Coe with LifeNet. “Anybody in 200-square-miles of St. Joe Missouri that transported anybody to Heartland or ever called the helicopter or needed an ambulance in Andrew County, or Nodaway County or Buchanan County knew Randy Bever.”

“We have to remember James who served in the Army before he came to LifeNet,” Coe said. “He was a fine pilot.  He flew straight, he flew smooth.  Like every human-being, Randy, Chris, James all of us at times we’re human-beings and when humans meet machines things happen.”

A patient, Terry Tacoronte was also killed in the crash.

At the end of the dedication family members released balloons to honor the crew.

In 2013 the NTSB investigation found that lack of fuel and texting by the pilot contributed to the crash.
