>NTSB and FAA Launching Investigation After Idaho Lake Plane Crash Kills Golf Pro, Kids
In the meantime, family members of Fredrickson confirmed that the victims included the Oregon father, his son Hayden Fredrickson and his stepchildren Sofia and Quinn Olsen.
April Fredrickson, Sean's wife and Sofia and Quinn's mother, told Fox affiliate KPTV that her family had "died while they were on an adventure," and expressed her heartbreak over the tragedy.
"Everyone was so excited to be on that plane… I think that, at the end of the day, they died doing what they loved which was, you know, being together," she told KPTV. "I don’t know a person that did not like my husband. He just had an infectious personality. Always wanted to take care of everybody else."
“My daughter was 15 and … she loved life, she literally loved life. My little guy was Quinn. He was 11 and he was my best friend. He was just always in tune with what I needed," April continued of her kids. "My stepson [Hayden] had just gotten his license, and he had his car, and he had a girlfriend and his life was good. His life was so incredibly good, and he was a happy kid."
