Noah Michael Rubright

It has been 16 years since we lost Noah. I still think of him often. And I still miss him dearly.

Periodically I would meet Noah at his mother’s home when he was visiting. I came to know him as a young man who was seeking a life that would be meaningful and contributory. A high standard had been set by his parents in this regard. Noah and my conversations were always agreeable—he was polite, respectful, always gleaning what information he could about life from many perspectives. His quest was for a path that suited him, not a ready-made life that satisfied others’ preconceptions about...

To Ben and the Rubright family:

I was deeply saddened by the news of Noah's death. While it has been a long time, I remember Noah well, and I want to express my sincerest condolences in this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am saddened to see the brother of a classmate at Marist has passed away. It is so difficult to understand why good people are taken so early in life and not given a chance to experience everything he still had ahead of him - a life with his wife, adventure of travel and work, building a family. This saddens me greatly. May his wife find peace. And to my classmate Ben and his family, the same. Our community's thoughts are with you.

When Vickie told me what happened I was shocked and became empty. Not much I can say other than I will say a prayer for Noah tonight and hug my sons a little longer tonight.

As a member of the Marist family, we would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to the Rubright family during this difficult time.

Well, I don't know how to start this, except to start it. Noah has
been my best friend since only shortly after I met him in Grad School.
Funny to think it's only been 3 years or so. I get the feeling that anyone he befriended feels the same way.

Shared interests may spark an acquaintance, but sharing experiences creates that strong pull that we have to our best friends. Any outing with Noah was a joy, from the longest bike ride to simply meeting up for...

We played soccer with Amy in Boulder, and only got the chance to meet Noah a few times. But we knew what an extraordinary man he was and what a great life he had led and what lied before him. Our deepest condolences to Amy and her family, may you take solace in fond memories.
Noah, may the bike path in heaven be smooth and sunny with good long climbs.

Noah and I have been friends for going on 20 years. Is wasn't long enough. Amy and family, I am so so sorry. Noah was simply wonderful. You had to love him. I will always remember him with a smile on his face and all the long talks. I will miss our friendship more than words can express. What a tragic loss.
