He died several days later and left behind a son, Dylan, who is now 5 years old. Trevor’s mom, Janet James, has been working with Senator Andrews Office to increase penalties for right of way violations and with motor vehicle officials to expand the motorcycle safety section of New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle Handbook.
