“Humble and another pilot had been performing aerial tricks for the GOP fundraising event.”

Speed was not involved. A wing stalls solely because its critical angle of attack was exceeded. If there is insufficient altitude from which to recover from the stall or a resulting spin, you crash.

One of the things that is done at air shows is to drop a roll of toilet paper so that it unrolls leaving a long strip of paper.

Then the airplane tries to see how many times they can fly through the strip of paper.

The problem is that the airplane approaches stalls in the quick turns. In this case it looks like it did stall.

Here's more information. It doesn't state it, but it's not uncommon for a "Bombing Display" to be done by these planes, at a target, to see who can get the closest to the target.
Toilet paper rolls or 2 pound bags of flower are normally used for a "bomb".
However, no one has said that this was why the pilot was dropping rolls of toilet paper.

My sympathies go out to his family.
I'm sure he was donating his time and money to raise funds for the GOP meeting.
