Noell Maerz Obituary
"He was somebody who fit about 60 years of life into 30 years," said Erich Maerz of his older brother, Noell, 29, a bond broker at Euro Brokers, a triathlete, and an expectant father — his wife, Jennifer, gave birth to their daughter, Noelle, on Halloween.
After Noell Maerz died at the World Trade Center, Erich ran the New York City Marathon wearing his brother's number. Their father ran as well, with only three weeks of training.
Erich Maerz felt his brother's presence strongly during the marathon: "It was kind of the last thing we did together. We really bonded during that race."
Erich Maerz always said his brother was his best friend, yet wondered if that was reciprocated. But in the speech Noell Maerz gave at his brother's wedding, he said, "Erich, I just want to let you know, you're not only my little brother, you're my best friend."
And at Noell Maerz's bachelor party, his friends remarked about how the two said, "Oh, baby!" exactly the same way. "I guess it comes from wanting to be like him," Erich Maerz said. "Growing up I always wanted to be like my big brother."

I have today visited the 9/11 memorial and have looked up some of the many names I saw there. I did not know Noell but want to let you know that I saw his name and it lives on. I´m so sorry for all your loss. Sending love and prayers from Fiona, Manchester, UK

I never knew Noel, but my Mom, Claire Hogue, did. She worked at LC for many years and knew a lot of the students. She was given several American Flags with Noel´s name on a yellow ribbon tied to the flag and I received one of them. I have proudly waved this flag every single day since I received it after that horrific, tragic day that we, as Americans, will never forget. May God Bless Noell´s family and friends always.

Even after all the years, I still have a hesitation to write anything about Noell or that awful day. Noell and I were brothers at Hofstra (football, Crown and Lance) and we shared an off campus house for 2 years. We had too many good times to remember. I´m glad this site is still active to send a note to my friend and his family and friends.

To the Maerz Family: I wish to apologize for not sending this photograph I took, now 20 years ago to this day, on 9/11/2002, before now. I never knew Noell, but I'll never forget taking this photo. Nor will I ever forget hearing an interview with his father on NPR later that afternoon as I was driving out of the city back to North Carolina. Every 9/11 I think of Noell his family. As my mother would say, "Blessings and Angels."

I picture you and your daughter, Noelle, today having a wonderful day talking about Noell with friends and family and surrounded by love. Prayers and love to you, Noelle, and all in Maerz family immediate and extended.
Erich, I admire you for how you have honored Noell thru the years and know you will always do so. Love to you.

I met Noell his freshman year at Hofstra. He always had a smile and beautiful, laughing eyes. He lit up a room by walking in. Always respectful! People gravitated to him. As we near the 20th anniversary of that terrible day, I decided to see if he had a legacy page. As a parent I want his parents to know that they raised a fine son. I’m sure his wife and daughter know he was one in a million! He’ll never be forgotten. God Bless.

Always think of you on this terrible day. I have to admit reading the messages from your daughter brightened my day a little. I cant believe its been 18 yrs. Every time I run into Strauss we talk about you. Cannoneers, St Stans, LC you were always the man I looked up to even though I'm older.
Have beer with Ralph, I know I will have one for you today.

Hey Noel It's Joey Driver. For some reason, I was thinking of you, which I often do and figured I'd wish you and your family a Merry Christmas/Happy New Year. I'll never forget 1st meeting you during Football camp in 1990. Well, actually 1989 (August). Right away I knew you were special. We always got along great Noel, and I was Psyched when you moved out to Long Beach. I remember Bike riding on the Boardwalk together, but could never keep up with you. Not many could Noel. In any case I just want to let everyone know what a great guy you were and how each of us should try and smile a little more and enjoy life. Noel, I miss you buddy. Love Always, Joey D

I have never met you, but from all the wonderful tributes you were a very special person. We do share the same last name (Maerz) was my birth giving last name I grew up in Saddle Brook NJ, I was born in 1963. My father William Francis Maerz was also a great man, sadly he passed away in 1982. It always makes me wonder if by some ancestry we might have been related.
Every September 11th for the last 17 years I think of you even though we never met. My heart goes out to your family especially your wife and daughter.
Sincerely,

I ride by Noells Way once or twice a week. I am initially saddened but then I remember his infectious smile and gentle demeanor I begin to smile myself. It was and is truly Noells Way and he still has the ability to touch people and bring them together. What an amazing young man, he will forever be remembered by all that had the good fortune to have crossed paths with him.

After 15 long years of wanting to contact someone in his family I am truly sorry for your loss. But your story was on Oprah 14 years ago and I was pregnant with my second daughter. I had the hardest time picking a name for her and after I heard your story with your daughter and late husband I named my daughter after him and your daughter. Her name is Allyson Noel. My daughter for many years after this tragedy wanted to know the meaning behind her name and I have finally told her the story behind it. I truly feel the likes your husband had for sports is around with my daughter every year. She played football for years and is now very active in soccer. She carries your husbands name with honor and what few things we have read over the years of him she is very honored. Every year this date comes around and I hurt for you and your family and pray that you know we are very sorry for this. I have wanted to contact you for years and just never knew how to.

You represent to me the polar opposite of what the terrorists do. Just remember you being the real deal. As a person and an athlete. You were always a nice guy. Your legacy is a great one and that will never be taken away. I hope your family is doing well and Im sure your daughter is amazing.

Hey Noel, I wish (so much) I could hang out with you again. We both came into Hofstra the same year(90) and hit it off. Then you moved to Long Beach (I was psyched). We rode the train together once in a while and had great times. I was so happy when you met Jen, because she was the one for you. It does not get better than NOEL MAERZ! I miss you Noel!

Hi Noelle, Jennifer, Pat, Ralph, Ryan and Erich. I haven't written on this page in over a decade, but I still think and talk about Noel. I'm a high school teacher now. Last Thursday I talked with my students about what happened that day and told them about Noel. They were shocked to see their teacher tear up.....still after all these years. I agree with Erich, it doesn't go away after months or years.
I wish Noel and Bobby Kane were still here on Earth b/c they were both genuinely good guys who were taken from us way too soon. Someday Jennifer and Noelle I'd love to meet you and make you laugh with funny stories about Noel. Like when he broke both his elbows at the Jersey shore! Ralph, Erich, Ryan, and Pat hope you are living your lives to the fullest, as Noel always did :)

As a college friend I remember Noell best playing football, hangin with his frat brothers and always smiling that gentile, sweet smile. He was a fantastic bartender and life of the party however you knew he was on to big things and demanded the room with his spirit. He always had kindness in his words, caring in his heart and devotion to those around him. Those who experienced him are truly blessed. You don't get much better than Noell. The mold was broken…my prayers are with the Maerz family always.

From Ben Carro. Phoenix Cop & 2012 TDF Participant.
"NOEL" Day four started from Melville NY with a full police escort. The ride was easy and paced for the group to stay together (unity). We entered Manhattan and rode to the freedom tower for a moment of silence, then headed to Battery Park. Chaos, complete mayhem as 250 cyclists and support staff looked for a place to park their bikes and vehicles so we could hurry up and take a group photo. During this time a few of us decided to take a photo with an NYPD motorcycle officer with the Freedom Tower in the background.
After this photo I made my way into Battery Park near the waterfront restaurant and a grassy area with the Statue of Liberty in the background. I was looking for a place to lean my bike on when three young girls and one young boy began approaching me. There was people everywhere there was 250 choices but for some reason they walked up to me.
The next words you will read, moved me in a way I can't really express.
The four children approached and one of them "Noel" with a bright and beautiful smile asked "can I take a picture with you?" I replied sure you can. I called for Will ( Ana fellow Phoenix officer) over and he and I took a photo with all four children, Noel was right by my side. Once the photos were taken Noel turned to me, looked up and said "my daddy died in 9/11 thank you for taking a picture with me." This very moment I felt crushed for her but proud of what 250 cyclists and support staff did for her father. I grabbed hold of her and pulled her head to my chest, I held her in a manner I would my own daughter with my arms around her head, the biggest hug I could find, I found! While I held her close I told her "I just rode for your daddy." I asked, "was your daddy a police officer, fireman or businessman?" She told me he was a businessman. A minute or two later two blonde women approached me one was crying I never learned her name but come to find out this was Noel's mom and her aunt. Her mom thanked me for taking a picture, and we had a brief conversation about what the Tour De Force just completed. At this moment Noel asked "did all of them ride too?" She was referring to the mob of cyclists on the waters edge who were gathered and taking the 2012 Tour De Force group photo. ( a photo I missed to be with Noel) I asked Noel if she wanted to take a picture with the group, she looked up at me with that bright, beautiful smile and said, "yes please!" I grabbed her hand and we ran across the grass to the waters edge. As we arrived the group was breaking up. I started yelling Tour Tour Tour!!! Others began yelling for people to stop talking and to pay attention. Once we had their attention, Noel by my side, we were holding hands as I yelled "Tour this is Noel! Noel lost her dad in 9/11 and she asked to take her picture with us!!!! Everyone began yelling and cheering for her. The group gathered, as Noel's mom stood in front of us crying. I lifted Noel onto my shoulders grabbed her hands and raised them for several photos. Once the flashes stopped I put this strong young girl back on her two feet. She gave me a big hug and said thank you with that bright and beautiful smile. Noel's mom was sobbing... Many of the tour riders came up to Noel as she stood closely by my side and shook her hand and offered their support.
As the crowd began to leave, to break down their bikes,1 I found myself hanging out with my new best friend. Noel's mom again came over and hugged and thanked me. I let her know I didn't need the thanks this was all meant to be! At this point I had been moved by this little girl more so than I can ever remember. All I could think about was the courage it took for her to approach a total stranger and do what she did.
After a few minutes I took my Livestrong bracelet off of my right wrist and I placed it onto Noels left wrist. I gave her a hug and left to retrieve my gear. During this time I thought, why not give Noel my Tour De Force bike number plate... so I carefully removed this from my bicycle, sealed it back together (perfectly) and rode over to her and handed her the number plate. I rode away grabbed my back pack and used an NYPD command van to change my clothes. Immediately I said to myself, why not give Noel my Jersey so she has something else to remember this day. Yes it was sweaty, I rode my bike over to where Noel was again, I was now in my converse, cargo shorts and fox shirt. I went over to her as she sat at the lunch table I gave her a hug held up my jersey and said this is for you! Once again there was that beautiful bright smile and the most sincere thank you a ten year old girl could express. As one could imagine Noel's mom was again, in tears. She was watching a total stranger impact and touch her daughters life, I don't think she knew at the same time her daughter was touching my life. At this time I was feeling the emotion I once experienced and it was paying it forward at its finest, just what my family experienced a few years ago.
I tried to bring laughter to Noel's mom who I noticed had a cracked Iphone. I placed my Droid next to her phone on the table and said, "I'm about to make you laugh." I said, "look at our phones mine sustained a drop from a bicycle traveling 20 mph. How did your phone break?" Other than some scratches my phone was unharmed and still has a perfect screen. They asked for my email, I provided that and my phone number said goodbye and began to walk away, as I did I asked, "does Noel have an IPad?" Her mom replied, "yes" and Noel immediately yelled "I do but the screen is cracked". I laughed because I really didn't know what to think, Noel has an iPad (cracked) and her mom has an iPhone (cracked) ... Enough said.
With the help of many of you, I raised over 7,000.00 for this charity. What I didn't know but found out last night (Monday) was that I would receive an IPad as an appreciation for the amount raised. This iPad is a Tour De Force iPad inscribed with their logo and a special 9/11 insignia on the back.
After laughing off the cracked iPad issue I walked out to my back pack retrieved the tour de force edition iPad rode my bicycle back to Noel and opened the brown box which lead us to the white Apple iPad box. I opened this box retrieved the iPad flipped it over and said " this is a special edition iPad just for you, don't crack the screen!!!) Noel's mom... Sobbing. Noel's aunt was on the phone a few feet away and I could hear her say "now he's giving her an iPad!" Noel gave me another hug looked at me and said, "I love you!" I was fighting tears and was choked up I said goodbye again and began to walk away when Noel's cousin a young boy around eight years old said, "what kind of hat is that?" He was referring to my faded flat bill DC hat. Many of you know I wore that hat everyday, it was my favorite hat. While walking I ripped it off my head and threw it at him like a frisbee, I never stopped walking as I said here ya go kid, It's my favorite hat take care of it. For the next hour that kid never took that hat off.
While I was breaking down my bike Noel walked over and handed me a white piece of paper (a card) with a green heart on it. I opened the card and inside, the card read "I love you, Noel". After this we enjoyed birthday cake pops that Noel brought me and the other guys I was traveling with. We laughed and talked. Before we parted ways Noel's mom came over gave me a huge hug a kiss on the cheek and said, "you are the nicest and kindest man I have ever met." I said, "I don't have time now but some day I will tell you the first chapters of my families story and this will all make more sense." I assured her right now was her and Noel's day not mine. As we were saying goodbye Noel looked at me and asked "are you doing this next year?" I said "yes I am" she said, "I want to meet you in Manhattan and ride my bike with you to the place my dad died.". I assured her I would make that happen! Hugs went all around and we parted ways for today but not forever!!
Noel is a ten year old beautiful little girl who was in the womb when her father lost his life on September 11, 2001. Noel
never knew her dad but she sure knows about him. Noel is courageous, and strong, she walks around with a beautiful and bright smile and today this little girl touched my life in a way I cannot even express to you.
Noel I am proud of you, I love you and I am glad you came into my life today!
Your daughter is a beautiful Angel an extension of the man I'm sure you were. She is a gift to us all!
