Mastrascusa is survived by his wife and their three children, his family said in a verified GoFundMe fundraiser. “We are heartbroken to share the tragic news of the loss of Nick Mastrascusa, a parent, coach, and friend in our ‘ohana,” his relatives wrote, referring to the Hawaiian word for “family.”

“Nick touched the lives of so many in our community through his kindness, dedication, generosity and friendship,” Mastrascusa’s family wrote. “As we grieve this unimaginable loss, our hearts are with the Mastrascusa family and all who knew and loved Nick.”

Jacob Hosmer, a 47-year-old Houston-area pilot, was previously identified as the captain of the flight, according to NBC affiliate KPRC, citing his father.
The plane he was flying was registered to a company with a Houston address shared with the personal injury law firm Arnold & Itkin, Reuters previously reported. Hosmer had Houston-based injury law firm Arnold & Itkin LLP listed as his employer on LinkedIn.
Though the firm’s founders, Kurt Arnold and Jason Itkin, reportedly were not on the aircraft, ABC affiliate KTRK said Kurt’s wife, attorney Tara Arnold, was among the victims, citing sources.
Harris County Commissioner Lesley Briones, a close friend of the family, described Tara to the outlet as “a phenomenal person, a bold leader, and someone with a heart of service.”
“My heart is with Kurt, their children, and everyone affected,” Briones said at the time.
Event planner Shawna Collins’s daughter said her mom was also on board the aircraft, according to her daughter, per the outlet. The mom reportedly spoke to her daughter just before the flight, and was heading to Europe on a business trip.
