Max Brannon & Sons Funeral Home - CalhounNoah Hayden Chastain, 19, of Fairmount, Georgia, passed away on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. He was born in Calhoun, Georgia, on February 16, 2007, to Kevin and Karen Chastain. He was preceded in death by his “Nanny,” Annie Mulkey.
He is survived by his parents, Kevin and Karen Chastain; brother, Kyle (Amy) Chastain; sister, Harleigh (Dylan) Dixon; Paw-Paw, Herman Mulkey; Maw and Paw, Troy and Janie Chastain; girlfriend, Payton McReynolds; nieces, Mayleigh Dixon, Harper Chastain; nephew, Ridge Dixon; many aunts, uncles, and cousins also survive.
A son, a brother, an Uncle. Noah was an old soul that would give you the shirt off his back and help you with just about anything. He loved his family, he loved making us all laugh, but most importantly he loved the Lord. If you had a conversation with him, you knew he had the kindest of hearts. He was a freshman at KSU finishing up his spring semester. He was pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Anything that Noah done he done to the best of his ability. He grew up on the wrestling mat watching his brother, Kyle, and soon stepped into his footsteps of being a dominant wrestler and never failed to give God the glory no matter the outcome. Outside of school and spending time with his family he enjoyed fishing and hunting and being in the nature of God. He was a devoted Christian and spent every day in the word of God. Rest in peace, Noah, until we meet again. We love you.
