A funeral service has been set for Samuel Lilley, the American Airlines pilot who died in the tragic midair collision with an Army helicopter on January 29. His family confirmed that the service will take place on Saturday, February 15, at 11 a.m. at the Georgia Southern Savannah Campus Fine Arts Center.

The ceremony will be open to the public. Lilley, a Savannah native and Georgia Southern University graduate was among those who lost their lives when the passenger jet collided with the military aircraft over the Potomac River.

The crash claimed the lives of all 60 passengers, four crew members, and three soldiers aboard the helicopter.

Authorities have since recovered all remains from the water. Lilley’s father shared his heartbreak over the loss, describing the pain of losing his son. He had been proud to see Lilley achieve his dream of becoming a pilot, a career he had worked hard to build.

The investigation into the cause of the crash remains ongoing, as officials work to determine what led to the fatal collision. Meanwhile, Lilley’s family, friends, and community will gather to honor his life and legacy at his upcoming memorial.
