A man died Wednesday after falling from a roof at a Marshalltown property.

Enrique Maravilla Avalos died after falling from a ladder while roofing, his family confirmed.

Marshall County Medical Examiner Dr. David Bethel told the Times-Republican Maravilla Avalos died in the UnityPoint Health-Marshalltown Emergency Room.

Marshalltown Fire Department Deputy Chief Chris Cross said emergency responders were dispatched to the 500 block of West Main Street, an area impacted by the July 19 tornado, at about 5 p.m. Wednesday on report of a critically injured man who had fallen from a roof, and he was then transported to UnityPoint.

He had four children and a wife. The family has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for funeral expenses. The fundraiser can be found by searching “Maravilla Jocelyn” at www.gofundme.com and the title is “father passed away.”
