Friends and family of the five people killed in a plane crash in western Nevada have identified them via GoFundMe pages.

The Washoe County coroners office hasn't officially identified any of the five crew members.

Two REMSA Health employees, one Guardian Flight employee and two passengers were killed when a Care Flight plane went down in the area of Stagecoach during the evening hours of February 24.

The victims have been identified as the following:

Ryan Watson - Flight paramedic

Friends and family describe him as a loving husband, new father, brother, son, friend and an incredible care provider.

Watson is survived by his wife Kailey and newborn baby Carter.

Ed Pricola - Registered flight nurse

Pricola, a former employee of Renown and Carson Tahoe hospital, just recently became part of the REMSA Health family last fall.

His friends and family said it's no surprise he was helping others when his life was taken far too soon from all of his loved ones.

Pricola is survived by his wife Lauren, two kids Riley and Everett and dog Rip.

Scott Walton - Guardian Flight pilot

Walton, a longtime pilot and flight instructor, is described by his family and friends as one of those special people who lit up a room, who brought smiles to everyone’s face, who never met a stranger.

He's survived by his wife and three young daughters.

Terri and Mark (Bear) Rand - Patient and passenger

Mark (Bear) Rand and his wife Terri were headed for Utah for life-saving treatment for Bear when things took a turn for the worse.

Their friends and family described them as big hearted, family oriented, proud parents and grandparents.

They are survived by numerous family members.
