John was my brother. We first met in our young teenage years...from the same neighborhood and attending the same school. We rode to school together, played sports together, had our first jobs together, our first homecoming´s together, and shared teenage life...laughter, tears, joy, love.
John Noeys gift was that if you ever met him...you liked him....loved him. I am blessed because of his friendship.
I miss my brother John.

John was one of the finest young men who I ever coached. He was so dedicated and gracious to his teammates. I was so blessed to have the opportunity to coach John on the varsity baseball team at Mt. Carmel High School.

Dear Margaret, Rebekah and JD:
It's been a month today since your Dad left us to go to heaven. We understand that living here on earth is just a temporary place where we can live and love as Christ has taught us to do. Hold on to those blessed memories and build upon the teachings that your Dad demonstrated to you daily. Thanks for sharing him with me. I couldn't ask for a better brother-in-law....Love you all......O.

John was a great friend and coworker. He was a part of my life for 23 years and I am a better person because of it. I wish his family the best and hope they remeber his big heart.

I was shocked and devastated to learn of John's passing. I grew up with the Noey family and couldn't have asked for better neighbors. I remember John always loved sports and was determined to be the best coach and in deed he was. He was very intelligent,honest, reliable, had a funny sense of humor, and loved life. His wife Margaret and children Rebekah, and J.D. meant the world to him. He was a wonderful husband and father. He will be missed by so many.God Bless Margaret and the all of the Noey Family and comfort them. John was an honorable and dignified man with much pride and we all will miss him dearly.
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father encourage you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say. God loves us, and through His grace he gave us a good hope and encouragement that continues forever.

I have been retired from Spring for several years and now live in Florida, but thanks to the great info line from Wells I was informed of John's passing. I was on the elective team and worked closely with John for years. What a joy he was! Just a delightful man. Always ready to help and laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I was truely moved to see the love and support that was present at the funeral for John. It just shows how much he was loved, and how he touched so many of our lives by his presence. John was such a joy to talk to on a daily basis at work, whether it was in the halls or in EC. You never heard him say anything bad about the kids in his care. All I ever heard, was him explaining to the kids in EC "how it was gonna be". Even though I left Wells back in '06, I still kept in contact.
Margaret, Rebekah and JD, you are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through your time of need.
May God continue to watch over you and to keep you in the palm of his hand.

I was truly heartbroken to learn of Coach's passing. I can't think of a single memory either as a student or a co-worker that involves coach where I dont smile and laugh. Coach Noey was truly one of the most remarkable people I have ever crossed paths with. We are all better people for having the privilage of knowing such a remarkable soul. My learning of Coachs passing was especially difficult for me. I left my career at Wells MS to pursue work in public safety and emergency medecine. The afternoon that John passed away, I was on duty. My heart was leveled when I discovered that by what I know now was divine intervention, I was responding to an emergency at the time. I discovered late that night that had I not been in that exact place at that moment, I would have been the Medic that responded to John's house. Those thoughts truly evoked the most primal of emotions within the depths of my soul. I know now that in some small part John had his hand in that, he would not have wanted me to carry that much pain on my shoulders. As public servants Paramedics, Law Enforcement, and Fire personnel are soon forced to detatch themselves from the human element at some level. It is a subconcious mechanism that we posses that allows us to continue to carry the burden and pain of others, without is destroying us. But no matter how long youve been helping others, there is no majical switch that can be tripped that will spare us from the pain of losing a loved one.
I am truly saddened that I was unable to be in town for Johns funeral, I would have given anything for one last chance to walk past and say "WHOOP"! But I will always cherish countless memories of Coach Noey from my childhood until many years later. I still laugh when I think of him. As I would make my way to my classroom past his with my coffee in hand, he would always remember to take that little jab at me for being an Aggie fan. We have lost a friend, a mentor, and a hero. The heavens have gained one of Gods most precious angels. I'll miss you Coach. We will all miss you more than you could ever imagine. I just hope that I am able to live a life deserving enough, that I too might stand at the feet of god, and see you again! God bless.

John Noey was a great guy. I remember him telling me a great place to buy breakfast tacos, he was right, they were darn good. I never minded going down to EC to turn in work or check on my students because that meant I'd be able to have a nice conversation w/ coach about whatever sport season we were in at the time. At WMS there was a habit of calling each other by our last names, but not John Noey he knew and called everyone by their first names!!! He took the time to learn all our names, our first names...that meant a lot to me. John was kind, gentle and most of all caring and respectful of everyone. I loved his smile and will cherish his friendship forever.

Margaret, Rebekah and JD. Noey was so funny! He Jeff Brush and I used to power walk the track with our p.e. classes. he asked my why I was cheering for the Longhorns during the Rose Bowl, 4 years ago. I told him because I was a texan first! He said it was because I was a "want-a-be" Longhorn!!

I was extremely saddened to hear of Coach Noey's passing. I have been away from Wells for a few years and have lost touch with many people but one never really loses feeling for them! He was a great man who loved his family dearly, as well as, all of his students and friends. He loved his job and did it with a better and more positive attitude than most people I know, including myself. I thought of Noey about a month ago when I signed my son up to play K-ball at ORWALL. I remembered a time when I walked into the gym one evening and there he was sitting on a five gallon bucket in the middle of the gym with a five gallon bucket sitting beside him. J.D. was under the basketball goal with his bat. I watched Noey pitch one golf size whiffle ball after another to J.D. working on his batting. I bought a package of those whiffle balls! See ya on the other side Noey!!!

To: The Noey Family
This is my first year teacing at Wells Middle School and I must say that "Coach" was one of my BIGGEST supporters. As a first year teacher, support is te main thing you need to hang in there. I will miss my buddy's smiling face dearly and we will forever hold a place in my heart. I can hear him now "Good Morning Mr. Hamilton. You have a good day and remember if you need to get away, I'm in the room." (SMILE)
May God bless the Noey Family during this time and ALWAYS for an ANGEL has been called from labor to reward!

March22nd was a sad day for me. I got word that a good friend had passed away. I want to thank John for the last 26 years we knew each other. Thanks John for never hesitating to do the mundane jobs of our profession with me. The time we spent sortin equipment, changing locker combinations, and working the concession stand seemed to fly by because of our conversations about everything. Thanks John for all the meals you bought me. The fact that you hated speaking to large groups of parents kept me well fed for 25 years. Thanks John for all the memories that I have of our hours spent driving th stadiums all over Texas to scout for Westfield. Even though we both enjoyed the countless games we watched,working the play sheets with you allowed us to decide which athletes should go to Texas. Thanks John for being a positive role model with your life.You came to work everyday determined to do whatever it took to develop good Americans. You were a good husband,father, and coach and you made and impact with your life.

Margaret, Rebekah, and J.D.,
I cannot tell you the shock and sadness that was overwhelming at the news of John's passing. As you well know, we were "next door" teachers for nearly 20 years. John was such a kind, wonderful, earnest, and giving person. The job he held was one of the most difficult, if not the most difficult, position in the school. He saw no one other than children "at risk." Those kids were not always nice to John but, John was such a strong example, he was ALWAYS nice to those children. We would visit most mornings and often leave our classroom doors ajar so that we could look out for each other (in a sense). I will never forget the time that one of my students completely went out of control. John was one of the first to respond and to try to hold the student to protect me and all the while trying to talk calmly to the young man. As the kids would say, "we tried to have each other's back." Of course with John being a Longhorn and me being from Arkansas, we (especially during football season) often had discussions about our respective teams...usually ending in laughter. John had such a contagious laugh. In fact, John was such a wonderful person that HE was contagious! He was such a good friend, a man I admired and a man who could be trusted. During the past week, so many thoughts have flooded my mind...Rebekah's birth; J.D.'s birth and the struggle J.D. had at the beginning; the kids coming to school with John and me wandering next door to say hello and give them a treat of some sort; J.D. getting into sports, your dogs...a flood of thoughts and all of them precious memories to hold dear as our lives go on. I remember awakening in the hospital to find John sitting at the end of my hospital bed holding a bouquet of flowers, with Rebekah on one side and J.D. on the other. I remember returning to school at long last and receiving the biggest smile and bear hug I have ever in my life received. Having dinner with your family. Yes, Margaret, precious memories. My thoughts overflow and my prayers are directed for you, Rebekah, and J.D. as the long, hard days of adjustment start to form. I know the anguish. John is at rest and eternal peace...who knows, perhaps he has already bumped into Gerald on one of the Heavenly streets. He will continue to look over you and his love for you and your chilren was absolutely eternal. May God bless you in the days and years to come. Please contact me if I can help. Tell Rebekah for me, we are going to go get that spaghetti (she mentioned it Friday night). Until then, may God watch over you and bring you His reassurance, peace, and comfort. With love from Gumpert

I have known John from his very first day at Wells Middle School. From day one John was loved. His smile and teasing endeared him to all of us. As coaches came and went there was a few of us that stayed at Wells for a long long time. John was one of those coaches that stayed and what it grew into was a family of great people. John was an inspiration to all of us. He always treated every one with kindness and respect. We all learned how to be better people because of John. He lived his life as a role model to all of us. We not only have lost a great man but we have lost a family member. John can now watch all of the UT games from the sky box. HOOK EM

Coach Noey was one of the most inspiring people i have ever met. He gave me along with all my teammates alot of courage and respect when we needed it the most. He was also a very good listener and gave great advice, and he was always someone i could go talk to when i needed it most and i thank him for that. He will truly be missed and i will keep him and his family in my prayers. Thanks Coach!

I met Coach Noey when I started teaching at Wells in 1996. He was the nicest person and once he got to know you, you were his friend. He never failed to speak and ask how your family was. I am sorry to hear of his passing and will cherish the many years we worked together. My sympathy goes out to his wife and kids. He will be missed by all.

Coach Noey was a great man who touched so many lives, including mine. He could brighten up your day and not realize what an impact his gentle words had. His kind spirit will forever be missed, but Coach Noey will forever live in my heart! My thoughts and prayers go out to Margaret and the kids. Rest In peace Coach Noey.
Poem of Life
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord

John, like many, I'm going to miss you. Your friendship meant a lot to me all of those early years; attending MC High School together, riding to school, playing ball together, working at Forbes Grocery Store together and many more happy memories of our growing up that I will always cherish. I went to Alvin CC because you went there to play ball. You'll always be in my heart brother. God Bless. Rick Noriega

We will miss Coach Noey. Wells seems so empty without him. He was that kind, gentle spirit that we all needed when things got rough. He had such a heart for the kids and for all of the staff as well.
I will miss our daily morning visits, and waving each time I passed his classroom.
My deepest sympathy goes to his family. I pray that they find strength and comfort to get through these hard days.

Coach Noey was such a kind hearted and gentle man! Each time I delivered student work to E.C. he always greeted me with a smile, and when I asked how my students were behaving (I knew they would be tough) he NEVER had anything to say but kind words. He worked so well with our kids here at Wells, and they truly miss him. My heart is heavy for the Noey family. His legacy will live on! God Bless!

This is indeed sad news. Honestly I haven't kept up much with Ol'MCHS over the years, but I have many fond memories of John. He was a great guy and good friend with always a kind word to all. We went to school together for 12 years, and if I think of him now it is the gold baseball jersey getting the final out in that magical '75 State Championship. Rest in Peace John.

As I read through some of the letters from friends of John Noey, I can't help but picture that great smile that John always presented when we spoke. He was truely one of the "good guys" that we all hoped to surround ourselves with. What a tremendous privilage it was for the Wells middle school students and athletes to have had coach Noey as a caring mentor in that community. We will miss his committment and loyalty and hope and pray that some of that rubbed off on his fellow faculty members. While the Noey family has lost a father, I know that his time spent in that role was plenty enough and quality enough to last a lifetime. Good luck and God bless to the Noey family, the Spring I.S.D. Athletic Department will keep you in their thoughts.

There are so many great things to say about this man, I don't even know where to begin! It was awesome knowing him while I was a student at Wells MS and having that friendly face around during my middle school years helped me get through that challenging time in my life. When I came back to Wells, this time as a teacher, I was so thrilled to see that same friendly face. And he even remembered who I was, which meant so much!! Coach Noey affected so many people's lives and he and his family will always hold a special place in my heart....

Words can not express the sorrow I feel knowing that Coach Noey is gone from earth in spirit. I will miss seeing him every morning outside my door wishing me a good morning. Knowing that God has taken him into his arms to a safer place with no more suffering or hurting, makes me feel even better knowing he is at peace looking down on us. I will truly miss him and his kind heart to my kids. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with the family.

Wow, what an exquisite man! Coach Noey has been a friend of mine for 13 years and I can honestly say that I have never met a nicer man. John was full of so much sincerity. When he asked how I was doing as well as my family, I knew he wasn't asking the question just to make conversation, he actually waited to hear an answer. I will forever remember John Noey and all the wonderful years we spent coaching together, the long Saturdays we spent at the swim meets waiting for our kids turn to swim and watching our boys play baseball.
The Heavens above are about to receive a wonderful Angel.
God Bless you John Davis. You will always be in my thoughts.

I just started here in Spring ISD this school year and Caoch Noey was one of the first people I met here at Wells MS. Early in the morning and the evening, there was that smile and the cheerful Hello that followed. I pray for peace and a lifetime of memeories to get his family through this time. Oh how God has blessed heaven with an angel like Coach Noey, who by the way is probably yelling Hook'Em Horns!!! from heaven. :)
God Bless the Noey Family!!

I had the privilege of working with John back in the '90's at Wells Middle School. He was just one of the nicest and kindest people I've ever met.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences to John's family. I had the wonderful opportunity and privilege of coaching John during his freshmen year at Mt. Carmel High School and to this day, I
have the fondest memories of John. Indeed, he was a gifted athlete playing on the freshmen football team and then, earning the starting firstbase position on the Varsity team.
He was such a pleasure to coach as I
will always remember during difficult times, he would give me that little smile, saying everything would be "OK".
I was never so proud of any of my former athletes as I was the day John and his teammates won the state baseball championship...John was a terrific leader who I am sure will be
greatly missed by his family and friends. As I am planning to attend
Mt. Carmel HS class of 1975..35th class
reunion, I will give much thought to John and his family will great respect and appreciation.

Man, is life fragile! My prayers go out to the family at this time of grief.
Just like Mark Ross's comments below, I have known John since we were about 10 and were running around playing baseball, football, swimming, camping, etc. Mark, I remember that "Exorcist" movie! We spent so many times over at each others house and even vacationed together as kids with each others family. We shared being Texas-Ex's to the extreme with a love of all things burnt orange. John was a member of my wedding party 27 years ago and I am so blessed to have grown up with him and to have known him as a very loyal friend.

I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I will always cherish the many happy times we had together during our high school years. Playing sports together, going to Astros and Oilers games, the Super Bowl at Rice Stadium, the first football game played at the Super Dome in New Orleans and trolling Bourbon Street afterwards, the State basketball championships in San Antonio, going to see the "Exorcist" and staying up all night because we were too scared to close our eyes and go to sleep, arguing about the Horns and the Aggies, homecoming when he was the "king", just to name a few. John was a special friend and I feel like a lucky man for having known him. RIP John.
