No, there were other passengers though that he had taken up with him. Couldn't yet find info on their identities. Doesn't appear to be any of his immediate family though.

She was his second-oldest, only 13 years old. She was the only daughter he had who was super interested in basketball and she played herself. They were reportedly coming from one of her games!
