The nurse killed in a horror plane crash in WA’s far north has been remembered in a touching tribute as humble, hard-working and the “most caring person”.

Johnson Makuei Mangar died after the Beechcraft Baron 58 charter plane he was a passenger in crashed while trying to land at Kununurra airport on Saturday.

Mr Mangar sadly left behind a very young family.

Mr Mangar was remembered by others as a “truly caring” leader and “community icon”.

Those close to him believe they had been “robbed” of a pillar of their community as many woke to the tragic news on Easter Sunday.

Sunrise reporter Tina Altieri has the details.
