Joshua Rankin Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 17, 2013.
Rankin, Joshua Matthew, 21, was born in Tampa March 20, 1992. Josh was suddenly taken from us on August 17, 2013. Josh was a loving and caring son and brother. Josh always had a smile and touched the hearts of so many people. Josh is survived by his parents Milton and Deborah Rankin and brother Caleb. Josh was also survived by one grandfather, Robbie Scott Sr., two grandmothers Marlene Rankin and Carrie Oliver; three uncles; two aunts' and several cousins. He was preceded by sister Brandi and a grandfather Milton Rankin Jr. Josh will be missed forever. We will meet you one day Josh, just not yet. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to The Caleb Rankin College Club. The account is at Grow Financial on Gandy Blvd, Tampa. Josh was so proud of his brother for going to college that we feel he would have wanted this. A visitation will be held on Thursday, August 22, 2013 from 4pm until 8pm at the funeral home. Funeral service will be held on Friday, August 23, 2013 at 1pm at First Baptist Church of Port Tampa, 8306 Interbay Blvd, Tampa. Visit the online guestbook at www.BlountCurryMacDill.com
