His wife, Niki, and their seven children aged between two and fifteen years old, who were also in the car, suffered minor injuries. Scroll down for video . Niki Rogan (center) and her eight children attended Mass on Sunday, just two days after the accident that killed her husband Michael. Following the service newborn Blaise was baptised . Rogan was rushing his wife to hospital for the birth of the eighth child, with all seven other children in the vehicle, when a deer hit by another car flew through their windshield . Rogan was pronounced dead at St. Joseph’s Hospital in the town of Marshfield. Niki, who managed to steer the van into a shallow ditch after the impact, gave birth a few hours later to a son, Blaise. The accident occurred when the deer was hit by another vehicle and thrown into the windshield of the van Rogan was driving. Friends set up a GoFundMe account to help +the family out with the goal of covering funeral expenses. Within three days almost $190,000 has been raised. Rogan, 42, was a devout churchgoer and former marine, and ran an organic seed business . Niki home-schools the children and the money will allow her to continue to do so, while also replacing the van and covering the family’s medical expenses. Rogan, originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, married Niki in 1998. He was a member of St. Mary’s Oratory in Wausau, as well as the church choir and The Holy Name Society. He would go to services about three times a week. The family attended Mass on Sunday as they always do, and a baptism for Blaise was held afterwards. ‘It was a very teary morning,’ Reverend Aaron Huberfeld of St. Mary's Oratory told the Wausau Daily Herald. Niki had called Huberfield on the morning of the crash and he had rushed to the hospital to be with them. He said that the family is doing ‘amazingly well’, given the circumstances. For eight years Rogan owned and operated Arnie’s Farm Care, an organic seed and fertilizer business, which he took over from his father-in-law after he passed away. Family and friends have stepped in to keep the business going. Video courtesy WAOW .
