On Saturday, May 15th our Brother Kevin Rochin, a High Voltage Line Clearance Tree Trimmer for Utility Tree Service and 7 year IBEW Local Union 465 member, was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident. Brother Kevin had just turned 29 years old and leaves behind his wife Angelica. 

Kevin was a family man who had just married the love of his life and was excelling in his craft and his career. Our entire Union and Utility Tree Service family are devastated by this terrible news and have been in contact with the family to offer our assistance. Our prayers are with our fallen brother and his family during this difficult time.  The family is having a private viewing and funeral service in Mexico on Tuesday. With permission from his wife Angelica, we have launched this GoFundMe in an effort to help the family raise funds for funeral and travel expenses during this difficult time. Please donate and share if you can.

As soon as we heard of the this tragedy we messaged the family and with their permission have launched this fundraiser. The beneficiary will be his widow - Angelica Rochin. We will share updates from the family if we get them but are doing our best to respect their privacy during this difficult time.)
