Texas tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson, his wife Helen Sharp and their two children, 4-year-old Emma and 2-year-old Charlie, were killed in Sunday’s Learjet crash in Palm Beach County, Florida, their family confirmed in a statement.

Also killed were the couple’s nanny Anita Maria Cetina, and their friends, Rachel Reed and Charmi Fehr, the family said.

In the statement they describe Robinson and Sharpe as “devoted parents” and Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, were the “light of their lives.”

“Their warmth, generosity and gift for making people feel welcome touched so many lives. Their loss will be felt deeply by all those who loved them and who they loved in return,” the statement read.

Family friends Reed and Fehr were said to be “full of joy and adventure.” “From the moment they met, they were all in on each other and the life they were building. They are deeply loved, and we will miss them endlessly,” the statement read.

The children’s nanny was described as “truly part of the family,” who left a "legacy of unconditional love and devotion.”

The family expressed gratitude to first responders, investigators, and the Palm Beach County community “for their care, and to everyone who has reached out with love.” They also expressed their condolences for the families of the pilots, “who are grieving alongside us.” The flight crew included pilot 55-year-old Jeff Gregory, according to reports, and co-pilot 20-year-old Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras of Palm Beach.

Details about memorial services will be announced once arrangements have been made, they said.
