A beloved father has been killed after his plane hit a tree and burst into flames inches away from homes in a wealthy Georgia neighborhood.

Doting dad Jason McKenzie, the associate director of philanthropy at Augusta University, was the sole person aboard the aircraft when it crashed landed on Thursday morning.

He had taken off from Daniel Field Airport bound for New Haven, Connecticut and was returning to the airfield when his plane crashed in a fiery wreck.

First responders said his piloting skills ensured no further deaths or injuries. He is survived by his wife Stephanie and their young son.

'I think that was a miracle,' neighbor Lisa Lewis told WRDW. 'I think the Lord protected everyone else.'
