Celebrating the life of With life there is death,

and with remembrance
Josh Brockington there is life...

BY EMILY PEARSON
Ralston High School harbors many memo­
ries of Josh Brockington.
He was the boy who never turned down
Cheez-its, always insisted on listening to his

radio station while working in the journalism
room, and sometimes worked really hard in
show choir, when he wasn’t cracking jokes or
making Miss Miller mad.
Josh had an obsession with Blues music,
particularly the song “Soul Man,” which he
performed nearly flawlessly and hilariously as a
meer freshman at Cabaret Night. Josh stole the
leads in many of the RHS theater productions,
and won many personal fans on and off the
stage during his theatrical career.
Josh loved his mother, Gail, The

Simpsons, writing and singing music, asking
questions, and film production, AKA Brock
Productions. He was never happy with any­
thing average; his ability to entertain, to make
others smile, to ask mind-boggling and unusual
questions, and to imitate his favorite Austin
Power’s characters always went above and
beyond what everyone else was doing.
And Ralston High School will miss Josh
Brockington dearly.
On March 1, 2000, Josh was killed in a
car accident on 72nd and Giles Road. Brock’s
best friend and RHS sophomore, Dan Sasich,
was also in the car and was severely injured.
The outpouring of concern and sadness
from both faculty and students was overwhelm­
ing through memorials, cards, flowers, poems,
songs, e-mails, and benefits.
