The wife of a man who died over the weekend in a rollover tanker accident in New Independence, Minnesota told FOX 21 they moved to the area two months ago for a fresh start and change of scenery. 
Xavier Henson, 31, died Saturday when the tanker truck he was driving on Highway 33 was unable to negotiate the curve heading onto Highway 53. The tanker rolled and exploded into flames.
Xavier and his wife, Amber, moved to northern Minnesota from Missouri, along with his son and daughter.
Xavier’s life insurance was not set to kick in until May 1, so Amber isn’t sure if she will receive any financial help through that policy.
Amber would like to bring Xavier back to Missouri for family and friends.
A GoFundMe account has been set up to help with those costs, including the funeral.
Amber has not found a job yet in the area.
The couple were to celebrate their first wedding anniversary on May 7.
Amber sent FOX 21 the following message Tuesday:
“Thank you all sincerely, everyone, for the comfort and support extended to our family during this dark time. This has been very difficult, and the love my family has received from the community is incredible.
Xavier was incredible, in every aspect husband, father, and a loyal, loving friend. Xavier had a heart of gold, and an unmatched sense of humor. When he loved someone; he loved them deeply. He was my best friend and more, every second without him feels like an eternity.
Xavier had a unmatched passion for doing the best by his children and family. Our children and myself will miss him terribly. Thank you again to everyone for your generosity. It means more to us than you could ever understand.”
