Noel Greaux left us all too soon on May 21, 2023, at the age of 52. A cherished friend, devoted son,

and beloved member of the Huntington Beach and Reno communities; Noel's vibrant spirit,

unwavering loyalty, and selfless nature have touched the lives of many.

Noel's journey began on October 19, 1970, bringing joy and love to his family and friends. He was the

beloved son of Donna Eggleston, a woman of strength and grace, who guided him with love and

instilled in him the values he carried throughout his life. Noel‘s mother and maternal grandparents

held a very special place in his heart.

Tragically, Noel also experienced the profound loss of his dear brother, Ryan Greaux in 2021. Ryan’s

support and the two brothers’ shared experiences shaped Noel into the remarkable person he became.

The memories they created together will forever be cherished.

Noel discovered his passion for wrestling at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, where he

dedicated himself to the sport and forged lasting friendships. Wrestling became more than just a sport

for Noel; it became a metaphor for his resilience and determination. After graduating in 1989, Noel

furthered his education at Orange Coast Community College, where he earned his Associate's Degree.

During this time, he explored diverse interests including music, Vespa and Lambretta scooters,

architecture, politics, history, and the art of gastronomy and wine.

Noel's professional journey took him into the vibrant world of the service industry. As a waiter and

bartender, he excelled in his craft, providing exceptional service and creating unforgettable

experiences for patrons at various restaurants, sports events, and social gatherings. His warm smile,

infectious enthusiasm, and genuine care made him a favorite among colleagues and customers alike.

Noel’s conversational skills formed the core of his love of hospitality.

Noel's true joy was the company of friends. He reveled in bringing people together, hosting gatherings

filled with music, delectable food, and laughter. Noel's gatherings were legendary, creating a space

where cherished memories were made and friendships blossomed. His ability to create a warm and

inviting atmosphere was a testament to his generous spirit and kind heart.

Above all, Noel was known for his unwavering loyalty, honesty, and dedication to those he held dear.

He was the person you could always count on, the shoulder to lean on, and the listening ear in times of

joy and sorrow. Noel's selflessness was unmatched, and he embodied the true essence of friendship.

Whether in Huntington Beach or Reno, Noel touched the lives of countless individuals, leaving behind a

legacy of love, kindness, and compassion.

Noel Edward Greaux will forever be remembered as a beacon of light; leaving behind cherished

memories, a treasure trove of shared experiences, and a void that can never be filled. As we mourn his

untimely departure, let us also remember his mother, Donna, and his brother, Ryan whose spirits will

forever be intertwined with Noel's.

Noel’s spirit will continue to guide us, reminding us to cherish our friendships and embrace life's joys.
