Some have big roles, some smaller roles. Noah flat out just did his job as a Union Knight player. He was tough, worked through injuries and disappointments, and came back to battle again. Undersized by a body for his position but not a heart. He had a great motor. Thanks for being part of my life Noah, until we meet again. Coach Hadachek ABC Family | Mar 18, 2021 Noah will be truly missed here at ABC. With his jokes and playfulness, he had the ability to make us laugh by simply walking thru a building with a joke or random fact. He was always trying to make us smile. So kind helping where he could, fixing our vehicles, bringing us gas, whatever it was he did it without hesitation because thats who he was. So thank you Noah for your humor, your kindness, your questions, your ideas, and your friendship. -All of us at ABC. Mrs. Wittenburg | Mar 16, 2021 Prayers to all especially the families.- Noah was a wonderful student at UHS. Always well mannered, polite, and hard working. He was so pleasant, usually a smile on his face or drawing a smile from others. Peace to family and friends. Load more comments Thank you for the comment!
