Community Rallies Over Warminster Motorcycle Victim

WARMINSTER TOWNSHIP, PA — The community is rallying around the family of a motorcyclist who was killed in a Street Road crash last week.

Chris Kinnon has launched a fundraiser for his brother-in-law,James Pearson, a 38-year-old man who died in a collision with a vehicle.

The GoFundMe page has raised over $7,000 of its $16,000 goal.

Kinnon said anyone who knew Pearson knew exactly where to find him" "In garage, hands covered in grease, working on a motorcycle or helping someone get their car back on the road."

Pearson rode, he wrenched, and never charged a friend for lending a hand, Kinnon said.

"Jimmy doing Jimmy things" is how everyone described him, and "it couldn't have been more true," Kinnon added.

"He never did anything halfway, and he never pretended to be someone he wasn't," he said.

Pearson leaves behind his mother and his two sisters, who are now facing the unimaginable task of saying goodbye far too soon.

Funds raised through the campaign will help cover funeral and related expenses while also helping his family navigate the financial challenges that come with such an unexpected loss, Kinnon said.

"I'm organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Jimmy's family. My wife is Jimmy's sister and is handling his estate. Every dollar raised will go directly to the family," he said.

Relatives and friends are invited to Pearson's visitation on Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. and on Wednesday from 10 a.m. to Noon followed by a service at Decker/Givnish Funeral Home located at 216 York Rd, Warminster.
