Riley RaschSon
Gamer Cat-lover Civic Guy Staff |
Riley is a recent high-school graduate who enjoys killing zombies, racing cars and building villages - virtually, of course. He is a fan of super-heroes, particularly Spider-Man, and anime. His career ambitions include computers and IT.
His presence in the cemetery is testament to his commitment to family. Riley has been visiting cemeteries since he was in a car seat. During his pre-adolescent years, he would bring along his skateboard and practice on the paved cemetery roads. If no paved roadways were available, he and his sister would venture to an unused portion of the cemetery and toss around a football. These days, Riley's visits to memorial gardens are more hands-on. He volunteers his time for cemetery clean-up events, provides support to History Walks events, and is learning the art of cemetery preservation. While his mom would rather be at the cemetery, Riley's commitment is predicated on because my mom made me. |
