I think of Noah quite often although I only knew him through exercising at the same club, but his death had a profound impact on me. Nice to see they have honored him by dedicating a stretch of highway on Georgia Avenue to Noah.

A brave public servant who made the ultimate sacrifice. Prayers for him and his family both blood and blue.

I only came to know of Noah and his many families through my care. I was taught all over again what courage, grace, loyalty, perseverance, helplessness, hope, and honor really means. I remember those stunning blue eyes. Even though they weren't looking back at me, I knew they could tell stories. I ask God for His grace. Please God hold Noah and his brothers, sisters, parents, and extended families in your loving arms. Grant us who are left behind to forgive, as we don't forgive, God will not forgive us. He is a merciful Lord. In the meantime, I ask my Heavenly Father to guide me on a path to help change laws and encourage personal responsibility and accountability in our thoughts and deeds. Amen.

Hearing of this tragic senseless stupid death of such a cherished soul was a heartbreak for me. Words fail me - hoping his family is somehow able to heal although that hole in their heart will sadly always remain.
