Friends and relatives remembered the 28-year-old wife of renowned skydiver Fredy Chase on social media, calling her a “angel,” after she died on Saturday, August 3, in a sad accident. Devrey LaRiccia was a professional skydiving instructor from California and the lovely spouse of well-known skydiver Freddy.
Alongside Devrey, a Skydive Perris student also perished. According to LaRiccia’s husband and fellow skydiver Freddy Chase, they met a dust devil that forced them both into “an uncontrollable spin to the ground,” which is how they passed away.
It’s unclear, though, if LaRiccia—a skilled jumper—had already left the aircraft when the tragedy occurred or if it occurred on board.
Eulogy To Devrey LaRiccia
Her spouse, a well-known athlete renowned for his daring stunts, posted an emotional tribute to his wife.
“I don’t even really know how to write this… there isn’t words I can put down. But I’m going to try… Devrey Jane lariccia Chase, my soul, my love, my other half, my baby, my ride or die, my everything, my wife… You were to perfect this world and god just wanted to bring you home, you were an angel amongst us and just was called back to heaven, you were the most amazing person I’ve ever known, having spent the 5 precious years with you was a gift, you made me a better man, you are the reason why I know true love exist.
