In times of tragedy, we need to come together and support one another. Sometimes that support comes in the form of giving, which James Rubalcaba so passionately did.

James died on April 20, 2023, in a motorcycle crash. At just 25 years old, it was a life lived to the fullest cut far too short.

James often spoke highly of his grandmother, Edie, who he fondly remembered as the person who taught him to be selfless and caring of others and to keep a smile on his face, so that others could smile with him. And he truly had the most beautiful, contagious smile that many were happy to share.

The sudden and unexpected loss is why we are asking for financial assistance. We are raising funds to help cover the costs of James’ memorial service and other expenses. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. Please consider giving what you can.

If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this page with your friends and family. And remember to share a smile with everyone, so they can smile with you like James aimed to do throughout his life.

This GoFundMe is organized by Michelle Sproat and Walston Locke.
