Please come and pray for the Quinault Nation and community, for Jimmy’s family, and for the health and recovery of Harvey Anderson.

TAHOLAH, WASHINGTON — Tragedy struck two tribal citizens of the Quinault Tribe over the Memorial Day weekend. One man is dead is dead and another is hospitalized from an aggressive incident that began at a campground where the two men were celebrating a birthday party.

According to witnesses, the the two were injured when the driver of a “monster” pickup truck purposely ran over them.

The driver was screaming racial slurs and war whoops when he ran over the two tribal members.

Jimmy Kramer was at Tacoma General on life support when his life ended at about 10 pm Sunday night. Harvey Anderson was at Grays Harbor Hospital, but is now at Tacoma General due to medical complications from his injuries.

“Jimmy was raised by my daughter and son in-law since he was four years old. Jimmy died a hero and he suffered his deadly injuries as he dove and shoved his friend Harvey out of harm’s way. Jimmy graduated from Taholah High School where he was a stellar athlete. After graduation he became a commercial fisherman. Jimmy was always a keen hunter and most of all a father, a friend, a family member and a father whose life was taken from him senselessly.” Said Ralston.
