GoFundMe campaign for fifth victim of Monday's crane disaster in downtown Kelowna

5th victim of disaster ID'd

Brad Zawislak is being described as an "amazing, fun-loving character."

Zawislak was in his office in downtown Kelowna Monday morning when he was trapped beneath the rubble when the crane, being dismantled at the Brooklyn on Bernard development, collapsed.

Four crew members on the crane also lost their lives.

"The Zawislak/Furuya family is devastated with the sudden and tragic loss of Brad," a GoFundMe page states.

"Brad was an awesome, amazing, fun-loving character. His personality, humour, and unique style brightened the day for all those who knew him.

"He was the beloved husband of Helen, and proud father of Savanah and Zoe. He was a kind, giving and committed family man. He was a friend to so so many."

He is gone far too soon, the fundraising bio says. He will be sorely missed...never forgotten.

"This tragic loss will leave an unfillable void for his family.

"We ask for your help. This financial support will help his family secure their stability while they come to grips with their loss.

"In Brad's memory and in loving support Helen, Savanah and Zoe."

The GoFundMe campaign has raised nearly $20,000 of the $100,000 goal.
