James Shadden, Jr.

James Shadden, Jr., 22, passed away on Friday, October 11, 2013, at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines, from injuries sustained in a car accident. He was born on February 23, 1991, in Des Moines, the son of Tina and James Shadden, Sr.

James had a passion for people. Everyone knew him as the guy who liked to have fun. It was never a surprise to see him joking around with his family, friends, kids, or total strangers. As an employee for StormGuard, James had all the qualities and skills needed which made him an excellent salesman. People were always drawn to his enthusiasm for family, friends, and life.

James enjoyed a variety of hobbies, but basketball and traveling were his favorites. It wasn’t uncommon for James to spontaneously leave for a weekend road trip or to visit one of his three favorite destinations - Las Vegas, Arizona, or California.

James is survived by his mother, Tina (Bob) Chapman; father, James (Kathy) Shadden; siblings, Jessica Shadden, Wesley Jarnagin, Amanda Jarnagin, and Trevor Higgins; step-brother, David Riley; grandparents, Connie and Allen Weston, Edward and Luann Kline, Jim and Jan Nelson, Jim and Jan Shadden; significant other, Dustie Daughenbaugh; niece, McKenna Shadden; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and loving friends.
