Two Microsoft employees were among the victims of the sky diving plane crash in the Cascades that happened Sunday.

Bryan Jones was a 34-year-old Windows Live systems engineer at Microsoft and his seventh anniversary with the company would have been next month. Fellow skydiver Dave Correia said of Jones "He was quiet, but he had a great, dry sense of humor, He was very warm and generous."

Ralph Abdo, 27, was a Microsoft Office program manager who had been with the company for 7 years. His girlfriend Diana Antczak spoke of his fondness of sports. "He would not do wind surfing casually like most people do. He took it up and had to do freestyle moves and front loops, back loops."
