Living Faith Church has set up a Go Fund Me page for the family of the fourth victim in the crane collapse. 

Cailen Vilness is described on the page as "a prince of a man" and says he was planning to propose to his girlfriend. 

Funds will assist with the unexpected costs of the funeral, lost wages, travel, and any other expenses their family needs to cover.
