Noah Scott Darling, age 43, passed away on March 4, 2026, in Olympia, Washington, due to complications resulting in cardiac arrest.

Noah was born on March 16, 1982, in Tucson, Arizona, to Lori Wood (Darling). As a child he attended a Christian school and was raised in Tucson before moving to Lacey, Washington, with his mother in 1997. Noah lived in the Olympia area for 20 years and became a familiar presence within the community of Candlewood Manor.

Noah attended an automotive education program and worked in restaurants as he could. He was known by those who worked with him as dependable and kind.

In his free time, Noah enjoyed playing video games, watching and following sports, bowling, and spending time playing pool. Some of his most cherished moments were the simple ones, playing rummy with his mom and sister and sharing Holidays together.

Those who knew Noah remember him as quiet & soft spoken, with a gentle nature and a subtle sense of humor. As a child he was witty and mischievous.

Noah will be deeply missed & remembered by all who knew him.

Noah is survived by his mother Lori Wood, step father Don Wood, his sister, Carmen (Will) Enochs; his nephew, Jaxson; his uncle, Terry

(Yvonne) Darling; his aunt, Debbie Darling; and numerous cousins who will carry his memory in their hearts. He was preceded in death by his uncle, Jim Darling.
