Noahs family,
I am so sorry. I miss him so much, and I know you must be feeling 10 times as bad as I am. I'm really going to miss him. I know, that we're going to see him again someday in heaven, and that he's watching over all of us. He was the happiest person I've ever met. I'm going to miss him. I love him so much. I know that he'll be waiting for us. He loves your family so much and if you ever need someone to talk to, I might be crying the whole time, but I'm here for you. I hope you know that I love you all.

me and my best friend dezi flinn were some of noahs very closest friends. i remember in the fourth grade we were at recess and he took us to the big tree in the field. he pulled of his sox and shoes and he said " my sister had a sleepover and the girls painted my toes" dezi and i started to laugh so hard. he said that we could not tell anyone. that is one of many good times we have had with noah. i will never forget how fast he was. him and i had a race one day from the pole to the big tree. he won, that was totaly expected. i was three or four feet behind him. noah was an cool person inside and out!!! :] i will always love and miss him!!

I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much Noah meant to my parents. They always talked about how their weekly issue of the Davis County Clipper was received via Special Delivery by Noah to their front door. My mother told me she had recently learned from his father as he was temporarily stepping in for Noah in delivering the Clipper that Noah had a heart condition. They feel so blessed and lucky to have had the opportunity to see and talk with him only but a short time before his sweet little heart could no longer go on. Noah had an extremely positive influence on them and they were so proud to see a young man of his age be such a productive citizen by taking the responsibility of delivering the Clipper. It is pure evidence that as parents you've done an outstanding job with Noah and I can only imagine the responsibilities he will be given in heaven.


My heart goes out to not only Noah's parents but to his brothers, best friend, special helper and only sister Alyssa, and his extended family members. May God's arms be around all of you, even tighter than normal during this difficult time of your loss.


Noah you will be deeply missed and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, as are Art and Winnie Neilson's.

I met Noah a couple of years ago and have learned to love him. His energy and smile were infectious! My son Avery made friends with Noah this summer starting with AllStar Baseball. Noah was indeed skilled in everything he did wether it was ping-pong, baseball etc. He was quite a competitor! He will be sorely missed by all who knew him! My heart and prayers go to you as a family! We will miss him too!
