SOLANO COUNTY (CBS SF) — A Suisun City man who was run over and killed by a military tank at a family reunion Saturday afternoon for the family that runs the Fairfield based Jelly Belly Candy Co. has been identified by the Solano County coroner’s office as 54-year-old Kevin Wright. 
 
 Vacaville resident Dwayne Brasher, 62, the husband of Jelly Belly Candy CEO Lisa Rowland Brasher, was driving the green 1944 World War II M-5 tank in a field at 4144 Abernathy Road in unincorporated Solano County around 2:25 p.m. Saturday, according to the California Highway Patrol. 
 
 Wright was sitting on the front end of the tank facing inward as the tank traveled down a dirt hill, CHP officials said. 
 
 Wright lost his balance and fell backwards directly in front of the tank and was run over, according to the CHP. 
 
 Medics pronounced Wright dead at 2:41 p.m., according to the coroner’s office. 
 
 Brasher had permission of the owner to operate the tank and give rides on the private property, CHP officials said. 
 
 There were about 50 people at the family reunion Saturday. The victim, Wright, was a World War II aficionado, as is Herman Rowland, Lisa’s father and chairman of the board at Jelly Belly, Rowland family spokeswoman Holly Carter said. 
 
 Herman Rowland said in a statement, “Our family is grieving over this tragic loss. The gentleman involved in this accident was a passionate person, always ready to lend a hand and we shared the same deep rooted love of history. To have him die so tragically during our family reunion is impossible to comprehend.” 
 
 Alcohol and drugs are not believed to be a factor in the death, according to the CHP.

– A 54-year-old man was killed after being run over by a World War II-era tank over the weekend, but he wasn't on any kind of battlefield. Kevin Wright was attending a family reunion at the Fairfield, Calif., home of Jelly Belly Chairman Herman Rowland Sr. on Saturday when he was crushed by the 1944 M5 tank driven by Rowland's son-in-law, 62-year-old Dwayne Brasher, the Los Angeles Times reports. (Brasher is married to Rowland's daughter, Lisa Rowland Brasher, the candymaking company's CEO.) The California Highway Patrol says Brasher, who had been given permission to give people rides on the tank, was navigating the tank down a dirt hill when Wright, who was riding in the tank, lost his balance and fell into the tank's path, per CBS SF Bay Area. CBS notes there were about 50 people at the family reunion thrown by Rowland, who happens to be an avid collector of military vehicles, squirreling them away in a restoration venue he calls the "Tank Barn," Fox News reports. Drugs and alcohol don't appear to have played a part in the incident, and Rowland says family members are cooperating with authorities, the Times notes. "Our family is grieving over this tragic loss," Rowland said in a statement, per CBS. "The gentleman involved in this accident was a passionate person, always ready to lend a hand, and we shared the same deep-rooted love of history. To have him die so tragically during our family reunion is impossible to comprehend." (A WWII "Panther" tank was hidden away in an elderly man's cellar.)
