Florida Learjet 60 Crash: Names of All Nine Victims and Family Tributes

Reporting updated November 2, 2026, 10 p.m. Eastern. This is a developing story. The names of the seven passengers were released by their families; the pilots' names were separately reported. Authorities have not completed their investigation.

The families of seven passengers who died in the November 1 Learjet 60 crash in Palm Beach County, Florida, have publicly identified their loved ones. The flight from Austin, Texas, to North Eleuthera, Bahamas, ended near Greenacres, killing all nine people aboard, including two pilots. The families' statement brings into focus the people behind the aviation headlines: two parents and their young children, two friends and partners, and a caregiver remembered as part of the family.

Who were the nine people aboard the Learjet 60?

The seven passenger names were shared in a joint statement issued November 2 and reported by CBS Miami, UPI and other news organizations. The pilots were identified separately by relatives and journalists; these are not being presented as an official NTSB victim list.

Adam Robinson, Helen Sharp and their children Emma and Charlie

Adam Robinson was known in Austin's technology community for his work in marketing software, including Retention.com and RB2B. Helen Sharp built a career in public relations and pursued ceramic art. Their children, Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, were traveling with them.

The families remembered Adam and Helen as devoted parents who made others feel welcome. Their joint statement called the children “the light of their lives.” In a separate statement, Robinson's businesses mourned a colleague and mentor and asked that the families' privacy be respected.

Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr

Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr were traveling as a couple and were remembered by relatives as people who embraced life, friendship and adventure. The family's tribute emphasized the depth of their commitment to one another and the community of people who loved them.

The families provided a photograph of the two together for press coverage. It appears in the Fox News victim profiles, credited to the Robinson, Sharp, Reed, Fehr and Cetina families via Red Banyan.

Anita Maria Cetina

Anita Maria Cetina cared for Emma and Charlie Robinson. Her relatives and the children's families described her not simply as an employee but as someone who had become part of their home and family. The joint statement praised her tenderness, commitment and unconditional care.

A family-supplied photograph of Cetina was distributed for news coverage and is displayed, with source credit, in this report.

The two pilots: Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras and Jeff Gregory

Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, 20, earned her first pilot license at 17 after taking part in a high-school aviation program in South Florida. Her mother and stepfather publicly identified her as a victim. Reporting by the Associated Press and local broadcasters describes her early enthusiasm for flying. A photograph of Filgueiras standing beside an aircraft, sourced to her public social-media account, appears in Fox News coverage.

Jeffrey “Jeff” Gregory, 55, was named as the captain by CBS Miami, citing a manifest and a source with direct knowledge; the Guardian also reported his identity. The crew members' families are grieving alongside the seven passengers' loved ones. The crew's identity alone must not be used to assign responsibility for the crash.

What investigators have established so far

The National Transportation Safety Board's case page, ERA27MA026, identifies the accident as a Learjet 60 operated by Aurora Aviation doing business as Upper Jet. The aircraft was flying from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport toward North Eleuthera Airport when contact was lost. The NTSB says the investigation is ongoing.

Investigators reported that the crew discussed icing and moderate turbulence, requested a climb to find better conditions, and subsequently declared an emergency during a rapid descent. The NTSB is investigating weather and evidence that parts of the aircraft may have separated before impact. None of these observations is a final cause determination. No individual, crew member or maintenance organization should be blamed without evidence.

The aircraft came down near homes and a road in Palm Beach County. Emergency responders searched the area, and one person on the ground was reportedly injured. The full sequence, including any effects of icing, turbulence, structural loads or system behavior, can be established only through further investigation.

A family's request for privacy

The passenger families thanked first responders, investigators and the local community for their assistance. They also expressed condolences to the two pilots' families and requested privacy while they mourn.
