Dunwoody resident Jonathan Rosen and his daughter, Allie, were remembered by the community for their lasting impact. Rosen, 47, and his 14-year-old daughter were among four people killed in an airplane crash at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport on Oct. 8. “No explanation can soften our lament,” Rabbi Brad Levenberg of Temple Sinai said during a service at Arlington Memorial Park. “We find ourselves still in utter disbelief. [We] search for words to feel the pain away, that as we all know, do not exist.” Rosen was the CEO of Dunwoodybased Entaire Global Companies Inc., a financial services company that was acquired by Synovus Bank. He was also founder of the Dunwoody-based Jonathan Rosen Foundation, which provides financial literacy classes to teenagers. “My brother accomplished so much. He soared to great heights,” Seth Rosen said at the service. “He always aspired to be better, never settled and he never allowed himself to stand still … I ask you honor the memory of my brother by remembering the gifts he gave you. Aspire to be great. Lead others. Be generous. Persevere.” Gabby, Rosen’s daughter, also spoke at the memorial, focusing on her sister Allie, who was an eighth grader at Peachtree Middle School. “Many of you know my father for the massive mark he made,” Gabby said. “Al-
lie didn’t have enough time to make her mark. Well, fully make her mark. She was a climber, a record-holding weightlifter, and a pilot in training. She had so many friends … Both Allie and my dad were amazing people who deserve every bit of recognition they will get today. Even though their time was short, they touched so many people, and that’s what really matters.” Lauren Harrington, 42, and Julia Smith, 13, were also killed in the crash. Harrington was a “loyal friend and assistant, having worked closely with Jonathan D. Rosen for 20 years, helping him grow his business until its acquisition by Synovus Bank in 2016,” says her obituary. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which is investigating the crash, in late October released a preliminary report on the crash. The report said that the 1978 Cessna P210 had a recently converted engine. The conversion was completed July 19, and the engine had accumulated “2.3 hours since overhaul” at the time of the crash. “Review of PDK airport security surveillance video revealed that the airplane lifted off about 1,000 feet down runway 21 in a nose-high attitude. The airplane then rolled left and reached an inverted attitude before it impacted nose first beside the runway,” says the report. A final report on the crash should be complete in 12 to 18 months, a NTSB investigator previously said.
