Jeanna Renee Triplicata Death | Obituary – Jeanna Renee Triplicata sadly passed away at the age of 18, Jeanna was killed in a skydiving accident Sunday.
Jeanna Renee Triplicata, 18, died during a tandem jump with an instructor from Skydive Atlanta near the Thomaston-Upson County Airport.
“We saw an orange-ish type of chute kind of far away, off in the distance, that was actually spinning, upside down,” Joey said Monday from the family’s home in Newnan. “And my wife actually turned to me and said, ‘I hope that’s not Jeanna.’”
They jumped into their van and sped across the airfield toward the area where they thought Jeanna would have just landed.
A sheriff’s deputy was already there, and kept them away.
“We get out of the van and he (the sheriff’s deputy) tells us, he said, ‘You know, it doesn’t look good.’”
Jeanna was killed, along with the Skydive Atlanta professional skydiver who jumped with her, Nick Esposito, 35, of Warner Robins.
“It’s a freak, freak accident,” Joey said Monday, and he said he had been sure the jump would be safe for her.
“As devastating as it is, it was just a mistake” with the chutes or some other piece of equipment. “I don’t know where the mistake was made, they’re obviously investigating, and eventually they’ll find out what happened and tell us. We’re desperate to know that.”
We express our sympathy and deepest condolences to riplicata’s family today and in the days, weeks, months, and years that are to come as they cope with her passing. May her soul rest in peace.
