James Kevin Shaffer completed his journey on earth, Sunday, January 3, 2021.
Born September 27, 1959, in Washington, D.C., he was adopted as an infant from an agency in Westminster, MD, and became the son of the late James Kenneth and Martha Jane (Bittinger) Shaffer. He was also preceded in death by his cherished brother, Kenneth D. “Fuzz” Shaffer.
Jim was a graduate of Southern High School, and earned a BA in History from Bridgewater College. He accomplished a career in broadcasting of nearly 45 years. One of Jim’s passions was music, and stepped out on faith into a music ministry in 1990, singing at numerous churches, fund raising dinners, weddings, and funerals. He was also a pianist at several churches over the years. He joined Facebook in 2014, and gained support from many friends during that time, especially as he chronicled his cancer journey. On June 22, 1991, Jim married the apple of his eye and love of his life, Bonita Sue (Miller) Shaffer.
In addition to his wife, Bonita, he is survived by a sister, Jonna K. Frazee, Oakland, MD.
