John Noorda Obituary
He is survived by his precious daughter, Katherine Minh Noorda-Nguyen; brothers, Alan, Andy, and Brent; numerous cousins, nieces, nephews; and his best friend, Julianne. He is preceded in death by parents, Ray and Tye Noorda; and sister, Val Marie Kreidel.
John was known as a kind, compassionate, very funny, brilliant, unique individual and marched to the beat of his own drum. John worked very hard in software and business development, served in many trustee and director capacities, and as a Trustee of the Ray and Tye Noorda Foundation; was very effective in carrying out his parents' philanthropy. John lovingly and dutifully cared for his aging parents in their time of need. John's love and influence will be greatly missed. John, thanks for all you have done for us. For now we will simply have to say, "See ya later."

He and his family supported me and associates and students and many others over the years in large and small ways direct and indirect in Utah and elsewhere.

Through many visits to John and his Mother Tye's home and at various events, I was able to enjoy up-close his quiet but impactful generosity. He has made a tremendous, often unknown impact throughout Utah. I'm grateful to have especially been in touch to see his smile in this past year, and to learn from his vision for blessing children, education, and the environment.

John visited his good friend and mentor Wendell Williams last year after years of separation and it was a joyful reunion of two men who had great respect for one another. John's generosity went beyond the material and extended to his generosity of spirit and acceptance of differences. He is gone too soon. Buddy, we hardly knew ya.
In sadness we remember you,
Jude and Wendell Williams
