So according to the family friend listed as a source on multiple sites,

Greg, his wife Cristina, his daughter Emma and his son Ryder, were all on board. Kenny Wallace says Craig Wadsworth was on board too.

Cnn says there was 5 passengers and 1 pilot. Greg has a pilots license, so either he flew and there was a 5th passenger, or there was a different pilot and Greg was passenger #5
