We will miss your smiles and how excited you got when the candles on the cakes came by and knowing that cake time was soon!
Your courage and strength over the years was inspirational. Rest in Peace surrounded by our loved ones already in heaven.
All our love and strength to Lauren today and always, on Noah’s passing.
Love to you Jesse always the best big brother Noah could have ever had.

I first met Noah in 2017, and from then on he’s always had a place in my heart.
Being close with Lauren all these years gave me the chance to share some special moments with him.
He had a light all his own — full of courage, determination, and that cheeky spark when something made him happy. Noah was brave, full of spirit, and carried more strength than most people will ever know. His smile and love of life touched everyone around him.
To my best friend Lauren, to Jesse, and to all the family — my love and strength are with you. Noah will always be remembered, always loved, and never forgotten.

Sorry I can not go to it, thank you for being you and being yourself and being strong when you can be strong 💪.
He called you home too soon and you leave a big hole in your family and friends hearts that will take some time to heal.
It hurt your family and friends each day to grieve your loss and all you meant, to be lots of love to people.
Love you, lots of love to your family.

It has been a pleasure knowing you Noah during your time at school. From your first cheeky grin as a very cute new prep to seeing the young man you were becoming, I was lucky enough to know you. Noah your infectious smile, gentle nature and great courage and tenacity will always be remembered. We think schools are to teach students, but we learned more from knowing you than can ever be taught within the confines of a classroom. You are already missed.

Fly high beautiful Noah, your beautiful big smile will always be remembered.

Sending much love to you Lauren and Jesse at this sad time ❤️

Noah’s beautiful smile/grins along with his interesting finger signs ( was it 1 middle finger or 2 fingers waving😜) will be sadly missed
but remembered on the Strathfieldsaye bus.
Noah would make my day when I had to load him and his wheelchair onto the bus for his bus ride which he loved. So many fond memories.
Deepest sympathies to Lauren and the family.

Noah, your beautiful smile would light up the room. You touched so many lives in your short time with us. Your memory will live on with us at BSDS.
Thank you for the laughs and smiles during late bus duty. Reading stories and watching Mister Maker with you was always fun, a fun way to pass the time waiting for buses.
Sending love to your family and all those grieving your loss.

Deepest sympathies to Noah’s family, friends and the Bendigo SDS community. I will always remember you and your cheeky laugh during our interactive sensory stories, in PLC 4. Going over the hills in the Agora whilst “Going on a Bear Hunt” was one of your favourites; and you didn’t like the Gruffalo Teeth (marbles), but you laughed along anyway. You were always happy to join us for any birthday celebrations, especially when we sang Happy Birthday. You will be very missed, Noah. You were a wonderful son, brother, student and friend. 🩵💙🩵💙🩵

Noah saying goodbye to you is so difficult. You were such a bright little sparkle in our room and your giggle was absolutely infectious. You were a superstar at communicating your wants and needs using your eye gaze to do so. Throughout every day we would give you a little wriggle and jiggle to help make you more comfortable. Every time I would look up at you and get a little sigh and a huge smile, I knew that you were telling me you were now comfortable. The huge smile on your face was the nicest thank you anyone could ever ask for and a constant reminder of why I do what I do. May you always be the brightest shining star in the sky.
Condolences to Lauren, Jesse and family.
