One of my favorite memories was attending Noah's graduation. We were reminiscing the whole time on how he was graduating FAMU now, which was always his dream. Also, how he'd come and stay with me over the summer in Tallahassee and go to the games and hang out with me and my friends.

The memories that meant the most was our phone calls. Noah always made it a habit to end our conversations with something motivational, but the one that carried me through my hardest times in school was: “No matter how much lie throws you, keep pressing though. You’re going to make it to the finish line.”

Noah is the definition of grace. He was so selfless that no matter his circumstance, he still put the needs of others first. He was understanding and forgiving. I have a few memories with Noah but I keep them close. My favorite memory is seeing Noah holding his niece for the first time. Noah’s happiness was contagious and I couldn’t help but stare and enjoy their moment, a moment so tender that we became stuck in time and everything was right. Noah cared about family most. One thing he made sure to do is tell me that I was family and include me. Thank you for caring for me. Thank you for saying you lovet me at the end of our phone calls… I love you too! Thanks for being an awesome Uncle (Aubree will know about her Uncle Nono!) Until we me again.

My favorite memory is when we went to Honda Battle of Bands in Atlanta, I believe it was the first time we had seen each other since graduating and it reminded us both of when we were in middle school, both adamant about attending FAMU when we were older. It was a weekend spent reminiscing and celebrating what we loved, music, our school and our friendship….

My favorite memories with Noah will have to be the game night he hosted and his birthday party! He was so happy! I loved seeing him laughing, surrounded with love and just having a genuine good time. We hadn’t seen each other since college so it meant the most to me when he reached out and said he wanted to see me at his gathering! I had just lost my father not too long ago and he had no idea how much it meant to me for him to invite me out with him and the rest of the crew! I needed that more than he will ever know. Even when he wasn’t feeling well, he still made it a point to get everyone together. Ever since college Noah has always been a great mentor, a leader and just a selfless person. From meeting freshman year, to staying at The Commons together and becoming good friends. Because of Noah I’ve met some great people and he has touched each and every one of our lives in an amazing way. I will never take our time spent together for granted and I miss him dearly ❤️
