The pilot was Jason Winter. The passengers have been identified as Patricia Hicks, Sandra Williams, Lauren Hilty, Ross Mickel, Remy Mickel — a child, Luke Ludwig, Rebecca Ludwig, Joanne Mera and Gabrielle Hanna. Williams was reportedly a civil rights activist who founded a Black newspaper, The Black Lens, and a community center, Carl Maxey Center in Spokane, according to The Spokesman-Review. Many people have been sending tributes to Williams, including state Sen. Andy Billig who serves the 3rd legislative district of Spokane. He said in part about Williams in a Facebook post, “Sandy was a leader in the best sense of the word. She worked with others to create a vision for positive change, crafted a plan to achieve that change. Then, she dug in to the do the work and others lined up to follow her. Her incredible work to create the Carl Maxey Center will leave a legacy of positive impact for generations to come and she was also a driving force to create and pass the bill to transition surplus WSDOT land in East Central from vacant lots into badly needed housing. You will be missed, Sandy. RIP.” Ross Mickel was the owner of the eastside-based Ross Andrew Winery. His wife, Lauren Hilty, and their 22-month-old son, Remy, were also on the plane, according to a report from The Seattle Times. All victims were identified early Tuesday after the Coast Guard had suspended its active search for nine of 10 crash victims on Monday afternoon. Nine adults and one child were on board the plane when it went down at 3:11 p.m. One person’s body was recovered at the scene. That person was transferred to the Island County coroner and has not yet been positively identified. “The Coast Guard offers its deepest sympathies to those who lost a loved one in this tragedy,” said Cmdr. Xochitl Castañeda, the search and rescue mission coordinator for the crash. The Coast Guard said in a statement that it had covered 1,283 linear nautical miles and saturated an area of more than 2,100 square nautical miles during its search. The single-engine float plane that crashed was a DHC-3 Turbine Otter, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. The plane is about 200 feet deep in the water, according to South Whidbey Fire/EMS. While the Coast Guard will hand over its findings to the NTSB to investigate the crash, if more debris washes ashore as they expect it will, Coast Guard search crews would likely return. ©2022 Cox Media Group
