Noah Michael Withrow

Noah Michael Withrow could not wait to start his life, and so he decided to make a four-week early entrance on December 5, 2006. Noah was an absolute blessing to all who knew him during his short life. At fourteen years old, he was diagnosed with cancer, which he bravely fought for over four years until his passing at just eighteen years of age on August 25, 2025.

Noah was a sweet, kind and thoughtful young man. He was not a big talker, but he was a huge listener even when you did not think he was listening. Noah was a deep thinker who had a huge heart for those he loved. School was difficult for Noah until he ended up at The Cottage School in Roswell, Georgia for his ninth and tenth grades of high school where he was able to excel and meet some wonderful friends.

Noah was known for his positive attitude despite his illness. He would often use words like amazing to describe his day and how he was feeling. He had a wonderful sense of humor and could make his family, friends, and even strangers laugh. Noah was an utter joy to be around.

One of Noah's favorite things to do was putting together Lego sets. His bedroom was full of the Lego sets he completed throughout the years. Noah loved gorillas and dinosaurs and would tell anyone who would listen interesting facts about these animals. One of Noah's most favorite places to go was Zoo Atlanta where he would spend as much time as he could watching the gorillas. He enjoyed playing video games by himself and with his friends. Noah especially loved his dogs, Millie and Baxter, and enjoyed playing and cuddling with them.

Noah also enjoyed spending time at his Mimi and Opa's lake house on Lake Tellico in Loudon, Tennessee. He loved to swim, ride in the boat, tube, jump off cliffs, and swing on the rope swing with his parents, siblings, grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins.

Noah's family is devasted by the loss of their sweet Noah and will cherish the memories they had during their time together. Noah leaves behind his parents, Kimberli and Michael Withrow, who loved him more than words can express. He was the cherished sibling of his older sister, Emma Withrow, and his younger brother, Luke Withrow. Noah is also survived by his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins who loved him dearly.

Though Noah's time with us was far too short, his spirit will live on through the countless lives he touched and through our memories of him. He will be remembered for the love, laughter, and light he radiated. Noah will be loved and missed forever.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, September 13th, at 10:00 a.m. at The Episcopal Church of St. Peter & St. Paul, 1795 Johnson Ferry Road, Marietta, Georgia 30062. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Zoo Atlanta at https://give.zooatlanta.org/tribute-donations.
