Adam Robinson, his wife and two children
Texas-based tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson, founder and CEO of RB2B and Retention.com, as well as CEO of Moltsets, died alongside his wife Helen Sharp and their two young children, Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2.
Robinson had previously worked at Lehman Brothers and Barclays. On the morning of the crash, he published what would become his final LinkedIn post, referencing a debate he had scheduled with fellow entrepreneur Jesse Ouellette for the following week.
Ouellette later paid tribute, writing:
"He became a friend and someone I saw eye to eye with on how to build software companies. He could disagree with you about almost anything, and somehow you'd walk away liking him even more."
Helen Sharp was an artist. Her father, Dudley Sharp, described the loss as "quite a blow," telling The Palm Beach Post:
"We had a daughter, her husband and two grandchildren on the plane."
A joint family statement called Robinson and Sharp "devoted parents" whose children were "the light of their lives," adding:
"Helen and Adam were the love affair that will last forever. Their warmth, generosity and gift for making people feel welcome touched so many lives."
Pilot Jeff Gregory and co-pilot Nathalia Filgueiras
The pilot, Jeff Gregory, 55, was confirmed dead by private charter company East Coast Jets, where he had worked briefly in 2016 and 2017.
The company said in a statement:
"We are deeply saddened to learn that Captain Jeff Gregory was among those who lost their lives in yesterday's tragic aviation accident in Palm Beach."
Co-pilot Nathalia Filgueiras was just 20 years old. She had earned her pilot's licence at 17, while still completing high school.
Her mother, Camila Corteleti, confirmed her death. Filgueiras had once spoken about her love of flight, saying:
"She loved the freedom. It was completely different seeing the world from the top."
Rachel Reed, Charmi Fehr, and Anita Maria
The remaining passengers, Rachel Reed, Charmi Fehr, and Anita Maria Cetina, were also killed.
A family statement described Reed and Fehr as "full of joy and adventure" who "loved their people fiercely, fully and without hesitation."
Cetina, who cared for the Robinson children, was remembered as someone who "cared for Emma and Charlie with tenderness and devotion, and she was truly part of the family," leaving behind "a legacy of unconditional love and devotion."
