Condolences as well to Noah’s family and friends. In addition to being a loyal son and grandson, I remember him being a true artist with a keen sense of fun.

I’ll never forget the day that Noah and my late husband Richard made their first real connection. It was during a party at Candice’s in the late 1990’s, on the very porch in this photo. Noah was a little shy to begin with, but he opened up when he discovered that they shared a passion for photography and music.

It wasn’t long before they started posing everybody for snapshots, and then Noah got us all to sing at the top of our lungs, while Richard taught us how to strum the porch rails with chopsticks and wooden spoons, and Noah kept the beat on a bucket with his grandmother Anny's gravy ladle. 

Thanks to him we had a blast that day, and I pray that everyone will find consolation and comfort in their own happy memories. He certainly touched us all, and we are richer for having known him.

I was shocked and saddened by the news of his passing . I am friends with his parents whom I met in San Francisco in the 70s when I was doing volunteer work with the Catholic church media center as part of my conscientious objector alternative service instead of the draft. The are great and creative people and so fun to be with. I mostly knew Noah when he was a child as his dad Kenny called him "the little Snapper"   A few years ago I attended Noah's show of his photographs in Santa Monica CA and that was the last time I saw him in person.  My heart goes out to Kenny and Candice Blakey who will always be my friends     Sincerely   Hugh Schone

My prayers and condolences on the loss of Noah. 
Noah was one of my best friends while growing up in Raymond. I always looked forward to his arrival for the summer. We would spend each day, hanging out, going to the Raymond swimming pool or riding bikes all over town. As we became adults, we wouldn't speak as often, but when we did, it was like old times.

Noah was my mentor and dear friend for over a decade. We met when I became his tenant, but that quickly became just a small part of our connection.
Over the years, we’d develop a bond centered around many shared interests and experiences. Music, art, food, tech, history, philosophy, business.. Noah had such enthusiasm for sharing his latest interests with his friends. It was always a joy to hear him describe the magic in something he had discovered, and why he found it to be remarkable. 

He had a rare mix of spontaneity and deep intentionality—always up for an adventure, and incredibly thoughtful in how that adventure would be curated for all who came along.

He was generous with his time and honest in his care, He was deeply invested in his many principles, the things he believed in, and the people he loved.

His presence in my life, and all who came through his castle (656),  was warm, grounding, and enormous. 
He shaped me, and so many others, into better men and emphasized the importance of kindness and compassion by default.  

Thank you, Noah. For everything.
I cannot seem to find words to do you justice.. every statement feels small compared to the profound impact you’ve made. I am so grateful for the life you lived with intention. and so generously shared with those around you.
We miss you- and will miss you dearly, my friend.   

My deepest condolences to Noah’s family and loved ones in this time.

I was lucky to know Noah not just as a landlord, but as a mentor and friend. We shared a deep love of music, many jam sessions, and late-night donut runs that I’ll never forget. He brought so much warmth and character into our lives. His presence will be deeply missed. My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.

My heart hurts for you Aunt Candy and Uncle Kenneth.  

See you later "cuz", thank you for all of the amazing memories. 

Love,

Anna

Please accept our sincere condolences. We will keep you in our prayers.
