The day before Shain Gandee passed away, he’d traveled all the way from West Virginia to Ohio, simply to lend a helping hand to his second cousin. The cousin, Ashley Gandee Lewis, had opened up a general store, and Shain agreed to make an appearance to help draw a crowd.
“We had the grand opening with him, smiling, signing autographs, and just being his fun self,” Ashlee said in an interview. “I’m completely devastated and I know that his entire family is too. It’s just totally unexpected.”
“I’ve talked to Shain’s dad, mom and aunt, and they’re not holding up well. They’re really taking it hard and just crying as any mother would, to find your son passed away so unexpectedly. I hope everybody respects the family at this time of loss and tries to refrain from overwhelming them. I hope everybody can just give them the space they need to grieve.”
So sad! RIP, Shain!
