St. Charles, Missouri – James Allen Mainieri, a dedicated father and fiancé, tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident on September 12, 2024. The accident occurred when a car made an abrupt left turn in front of him while he was leaving the Ford dealership where he worked.
James, who was the sole provider for his family, is survived by his fiancé Paige Schmitt and his two young children, Avery, aged 10, and Levi, who was just weeks away from turning 4. The sudden loss has left the family in a state of grief and financial uncertainty.
A GoFundMe campaign has been organized by Paige Schmitt to support the family during this challenging time. As of now, the campaign has raised $200 of its $10,800 goal. Schmitt, who described the tragedy as “sickening,” is grappling with the overwhelming responsibility of handling financial obligations alone.
On Facebook, Tammy Lynn shared her sorrow, saying, “This is my nephew. He was tragically taken from us yesterday in a motorcycle accident. He left behind his fiancée, his 10-year-old stepdaughter, and his almost 4-year-old son. He was the sole provider for his family.”
Jodie Nash offered condolences, stating, “I’m so sorry for your loss! Sending prayers your way.”
The community has shown support through donations and encouraging messages. Donations have come in from individuals like Katrina Tristum and Richard LaCroix, contributing to the ongoing fundraiser to assist the Mainieri family.
