A Putnam County man was identified Wednesday as the victim in a Tuesday evening plant explosion at the Optima Chemicals Co. in Belle that shook surrounding homes and prompted a temporary shelter-in-place order for several hours.
John Gillenwater, of Hurricane, was transported from the plant to a local hospital but later died, according to the Associated Press.
Gillenwater’s family acknowledged his passing in a statement.
“The family is devastated over the loss of their husband, father and friend John Gillenwater,” the statement said. John was beloved by many in his community and his church. At this time, the family is dealing with the shock of this tragedy and we ask that you respect their privacy.”
