Oct 26, 2015 | 10:50 AM

The Prince Albert man killed in a helicopter crash last week near Paynton has been identified as Dean Gervais.

The 30-year-old was the passenger in the helicopter. 

Gervais leaves behind a two-year-old daughter and his partner, who is due to have another baby in December.

A GoFundMe page, with a description of Gervais saying he, “was a great guy who lived life to the fullest”, has been set up to help the family.  So far, with 182 donations, they have raised over $21,000.

One donator commented, “Rest in peace Dean, you will be missed by all.”

The investigation into the plane crash near Paynton continues.  The pilot, from Campbell River, B.C., was also killed.

At the time of the crash, the men had been conducting work on power poles.

The Transportation Safety Board said last week it could take a while to learn the cause.
