A Cobb County family is mourning after a father of four died while working on a tree-cutting crew in DeKalb County.
Brandon LeBlanc, 39, of Acworth died Saturday while working off Chamblee-Tucker Road outside Chamblee, according to Chanel 2 Action News. LeBlanc was cutting limbs along Beliare Circle when he fell and hit the trunk of the tree.
Investigators told the news station the skilled tree cutter was wearing a double safety harness and a helmet. It isn’t yet clear how he fell.
“Did he suffer? Did he call out my name in those last moments of his life?” wife Wanda LeBlanc told Channel 2 Action News. “I just can’t believe I’m never going to see him again.
“For him to be ripped away from me and my children, I just can’t comprehend it.”
The couple had four children together, who the wife is now struggling to figure out how to care for without her husband’s salary and support, she told the station.
“I don’t know what the future holds for us, or if our children will have a home,” she said.
