Family and friends are raising money to support Eden Herbert-Allan’s wife and four children.
The Wandin North 33-year-old was killed when a tree fell during strong winds as he drove on the Warburton Highway in Lilydale about 11am on Friday 10 August.
His older sister, Lozza Croxford, started a Go Fund Me page to support Eden’s wife, Michelle, and their children.
“Losing my little brother has by far been the most difficult day of my life to date, but raising four children under six years old without their dad is unimaginable,” she wrote.
“As much as we can, we will support the beautiful wife and four children he leaves behind.
“Michelle will need more than we can give her, and myself and my family would like to ask you all for help.
“Please share this cause and help my beautiful sister-in-law.”
In tributes on Facebook, friends described Eden, a cabinet maker, as “such a kind-hearted person” and “an amazing guy with the biggest heart, always with a smile on your face”.
