James Michael Shrader

He and his family moved to Austin, Texas when James was twelve years old where he spent most of his time outdoors.

James joined the United States Marine Corps in 1974 at the age of nineteen and served four years. After his diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease at the age of forty-four, he focused his time on Parkinson's Advocacy with Parkinson's Action Network and Capital Area Parkinsons Society. James was a dedicated musician, fisherman, and disc golfer. Following his Native American roots, James was always the family storyteller.
