The deceased passengers include two people from California, two from Georgia and one from Illinois. The pilot was a 64-year-old from Washington state.

Mark Henderson, 69, and Jacquelyn Komplin, 60, both of Napa were among those killed when the plane crashed as the pilot was returning the five passengers to Ketchikan from Misty Fjords National Monument.
