Hard-working Colorado father dies in freak accident after carrying aluminum sheet on roof in high winds

A Colorado father of two has died after a horrific workplace accident, leaving his widow and young children devastated.

Brian Danielson was on the roof of a Pueblo construction site, holding an aluminum sheet, when a strong wind sent him stumbling into a power line.

“He was electrocuted and thrown about 30 feet off a roof,” Danielson’s partner, Krystal Fawkes, told Fox31 about the Oct. 5 death.

“It is a very unusual accident,” she added.

Another worker called for help, but it was too late.

Danielson, who lived with his family in Littleton, owned a construction company called Greenhouse Guys for more than a decade.

He had previously worked at the scene of his death, making it even more difficult for his family to deal with the circumstances.

Fawkes told Fox31: “I think it’s just something we have to come to terms with, but it’s going to take a long time.”

She described Danielson’s death as “a stone thrown into the street for her and her sons Dylan and Mason, 11 and 13.”

Fawkes and Danielson smiled for a photo together. Fawkes said his death was a “stone thrown into the street”.

“They both take it hard, but the younger one was like his shadow,” Fawkes said.

A GoFundMe has been set up for Danielson’s family.

“Brian’s family struggles to make sense of it all as they try to figure out how to navigate their new reality despite his absence,” the page reads.

This incident comes just a day after an Ohio father of three died after being shot in the head at a Turney Road Dunkin Donuts.

José Ervin Jr., 32, and his wife Scierra Blair, 33, made headlines last year for giving birth to twins on the same day as their shared birthday.

Ervin died just weeks after his wife announced she was pregnant with their third child.

Fawkes said of her partner’s death: “It’s just something we have to come to terms with, I think, but it’s going to take a long time.”
