He died in a plane crash.
He would just climb into a plane and go up into the sky. The one time, he did not come down safely.
If I recall correctly, he ran out of gas over Monterrey Bay.
He died in an experimental plane he was flying that crashed into the ocean in Calif. Hi songs were awesome.

It was his own ultralight. He was doing what he loved to do, but he died too young. He was a talented musician and song writer with a unique, free spirited, uplifting style. I agree his songs do not seem to get a lot of play time. Too bad.
A friend of mine was in the Coast Guard Station at Monterey station and they were picking up the pieces of the Denver crash he said it was one of the worst fragmented plane wreck scene ever witnessed they couldn’t find a solid piece of anything.
My former boss was great pals with John’s widow. Visited her in Aspen every President’s Day weekend.
