Anyone who knew Noe knew love, laughter, and joy. He brought light to every person he encountered—young or old, stranger or family. His smile was infectious, his presence unforgettable.

On June 2nd, Noe’s life was tragically cut short in a devastating car accident while riding as a passenger. The loss has left us all shattered, trying to make sense of an unimaginable pain.

Noe was hilarious, sweet, effortlessly cool, and deeply ambitious. Though he sometimes doubted his own potential, he rose to every challenge and chased every goal with heart and determination. He thrived on encouragement—especially the words, “I’m proud of you”—and lived to make his loved ones proud. He lit up every room and brought laughter wherever he went. Noe was the kind of young man who stays with you forever. The kind we need more of in this world.

Noe leaves behind his devoted mother, loving older sister, kind older brother, and a wide circle of friends, mentors, and family who adored him.

As a former teacher of Noe and now a friend of the family, I have created this fundraiser to directly support Noe's Mother, Veronica, the recipient of all donations, in being able to afford funeral costs to honor her son.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you. And to everyone feeling the weight of this loss: we’re holding you in love.
