It was confirmed by Tpr. Megan Frazer that the RV had a front left tire blowout before it slid through an opening in the cable barriers on the highway and collided head on with James, who was driving a tractor-trailer pulling double trailers at the time of the accident. James, who was also known by his nickname Jimmy, was a member of the Shenandoah Bible Baptist Church and worked as a truck driver. While he was out on business, he continued to be the dedicated husband and father he had always been, as well as an avid hunter.
At 6:56 in the morning, although Interstate 81 was once again accessible, there were still delays following the fatal crash. The incident takes place only two days after a tragedy involving a charter bus in Dauphin County, which led to the deaths of three passengers and injury to dozens more. The tragedy occurred in Dauphin County.
Following the accident involving an ATV in Pennsylvania, condolences have been extended to the victims’ family members and friends. His loved ones recall him as the “life of the party” during the winter holidays, and they fondly recall the many years in which they spent the period after Thanksgiving preparing apple butter together. He is survived by his wife, Ericka (Lloyd) Shade; sons Alexander Shade and Conner Shade; daughter Deanna Shade; and a brother named Johnny Shade, Jr.
His mother was the one who passed away before him, and his brother Kenneth Shade also passed away before him. At the Brown Funeral Home on Monday, August 14, 2023, from 6 PM to 8 PM, the family will greet guests who have come to pay their respects. At the funeral home on Tuesday, August 15, 2023, at ten in the morning, Pastor John Woullard will preside over the funeral service.
