William "Will" Woortman, 38, was killed while cutting a tree on Union Turnpike in Frankford on Thursday, Jan. 22, New Jersey State Police said.
A GoFundMe for Wootman's wife, Dana, and their two children had raised more than $21,000 as of Monday, Jan. 26.
"While Dana will have a lot of pieces to pick up and remain strong for their children, I’m hoping we can help ease the financial stress while she begins navigating this next chapter," Dana's sister Kristen Cooper writes.
Woortman's obituary on the Wood Funeral Home website says he was raised in Milford, PA having graduated from Delaware Valley High School in 2005. He worked for Level One Construction and was a proud member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, his obituary reads.
Wootman is survived by his mother, Lory Woortman; his fiancée, Dana Cooper; his two children, William and Maia; and his siblings, Michael Martin and Marianne Houth; in addition to many nieces and nephews.
