You are very missed!
This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Joshua Raborn, 29, born on October 9, 1984 and passed away on October 16, 2013. We will remember him forever. We can be reached via email at Rabornfamily2013@gmail.com
I will continue to add photos of our family and Josh's burial sites. His urn and plaque are in row R in the new columns at Riverside National Cemetery, CA. In addition, his other urn is at Six Mile Cemetery in Llano, TX.
His accident site continues to be watched by the local home owner and Josh's motorcycle riding friends. The kids and I will visit and leave items for special days and reasons at all three sites. Everyone is welcome to do the same at any of the locations. Kristen

Dang, I still miss Raborn. I don't know how we lost track of each other, but I guess I assumed we'd always be friends even if we didn't talk for a bit. We'd reach out when we needed each other. Well, I've been looking for him for a long time now. I really miss him.

Thank you to everyone wishing the family well today as we remember Josh's birthday. Today would have been his 'Over the Hill' 30th birthday. He would have celebrated by visiting his VA surgeon and proving his ankle didn't have him wheelchair bound by 30!! The kids are well, the season brings extra emotions, we wish everyone a safe and blessed day. Kristen

My name is Jen and I was friends with Josh is High School. I dont have any photos of him but I do have great memories. He was really good friends with my cousin when I started school in Llano durun 6th grade. He was my first boyfriend...lol I guess if you want to call it that at our age. He was so fun to be around and always made ever one smile. Looking at all his family photos reminds me of how infectious his smile really was. Once we got into high school we kind of loat touch. He went his way and I went mine. After graduation I never saw or spoke to him again. I do wished we could have stayed in touch. Knowing he became such an amazing person makes me smile. He was a go getter and dedicated. I am truly sorry for your family's loss. I can't fathom what you are going through. I hope you and your family find the strength in GOD to help heal.
(Thanks Jen, Josh actually talked about 6th grade and his first girlfriend lol. Kristen)

First off let me start by saying on behalf of my club G-ZER TRIBE BIKERS we send our prayers, respects and condolences to the family of josh!!! I personally didn't know him but he was a good friend of 1 of our bros... All and all he was a biker just like all of us... I've lost, we've all lost loved one's in some way or another... I lost my best friend to a motorcycle accident 4yrs ago n i was with him 2 minutes before he was killed by a girl in a car that wasn't paying attention and just pulled out in front of him... Atleast now he's in a better place watching me n taking care of me now... With all this said and done GOD BLESS US ALL...
