Parents Pass Away While Holding Hands After Getting Into A Terrible ATV Accident
Springfield, Wisconsin. On August 5th, married couple Pamela and John Jarvis hopped on their ATV and headed over to a neighbor’s house to drop off some of their fresh vegetables from their garden when tragedy struck.
57-year-old John was driving the ATV, while 58-year-old Pamela was the passenger that day.
At around 4:28 p.m. a 911 call came in reporting that the ATV John and Pamela were riding on had crashed with a pickup truck.
