Shane Whittaker Jr, a beloved young man from the local community, passed away early this morning after a tragic accident that has left family, friends, and all who knew him heartbroken. His life was cut short due to a devastating incident on Monday, December 9th, while Shane was driving with two friends on Route 30. After losing control of the car due to slippery road conditions, the group was waiting outside the vehicle when another driver, under the influence, struck Shane with her truck. The truck pinned him underneath and dragged him several feet before flipping over, inflicting severe injuries. Shane was rushed to the hospital, where he remained unresponsive and on life support until his passing.
Shane, known for his gentle and peaceful nature, was a bright young man with a promising future ahead. A child of deaf adults (CODA), he was fluent in sign language and had aspirations of becoming a translator for the deaf. His talent for connecting with others and his ability to bring peace to every room he entered made him cherished by many. The loss of such a kind and talented soul has left a profound void in his family and community.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to support the Whittaker family with final arrangements. As of today, $50 has been raised, and donations continue to pour in from those wishing to help. The family is facing the heavy burden of laying Shane to rest and is receiving an outpouring of support from the community.
Friends have taken to social media to express their grief and honor Shane’s memory. Vanessa Cayton wrote, "RIP Shane Whittaker Jr. You will be truly missed by so many, my man! So sad and just unfair this happened. You were such a special and kind soul, an all-around great kid who was going to do great things." Crystal Corriveau shared, "Very sad." Kenneth Felion also expressed his sympathy, stating, "Sorry for your loss, my friend, hope the pain of loss eases away quickly."
The Whittaker family, now facing unimaginable sorrow, asks for the continued support and prayers of their community as they navigate this difficult time.
Our deepest condolences go out to the Whittaker family, and our thoughts and prayers are with them as they mourn this tremendous loss.
