In the early morning of Saturday, November 14th, 2020, a multiple car and semi wreck happened between Gridley and Biggs California leaving 4 families distraught, hurt, and angry at the world for taking 4 young lives. Noah Anderson, his beautiful girlfriend Kira, and her friends were making their way to drop off Noah and Kira at home in Yuba City from Chico. What turned from a late night get together to a horror story is leaving us with questions and hopelessness. They never came home. They didnt make it passed that crash that was waiting for them. The day of the accident, we waited for them to come home and as it neared dinner time a sinking feeling set in after hearing about the crash only an hour before. Noah's best friend and parents took off to Chico to hunt these children down. And then to hunt down a ping that popped up in Redding all of a sudden showing where the party they attended that night was held. A mothers intuition and a sinking feeling is what led to his mother demanding answers at the crime scene which led to the answers everyone was looking for and dreading. The 4 of them drove through solid patches of fog and never being able to see or correct as they were led into the disaster. These 4 kids didnt deserve this. They were going to their homes. And they were all taken much too early from this world.

Noah was born August 12th, 2002. He was the 6th born child in the family. And he was born with the BIGGEST heart. He was everyone's big brother, little brother, friend, family, he was the one who didnt turn his back on anyone no matter what they threw at him. Everyone has a story with him, everyone has a photo with him. He grew up in Hawaii and made the move back to the states after his mother was diagnosed with stage 3C cancer, which he was the biggest cheerleader throughout the process and care for. Him and his family moved to Yuba City, California, and in 2017, made the big leap to the great state of Texas, where Noah's dreams of the military blossomed to a bloom where he worked out and worked hard along side his military uncle and veteran mother. Moving back to california led to the summer of his life learning to drive tractors with his father and brother working in the Agriculture field of work. As the years passed, he spent his time building relationships and a family of friends through the skate park in Yuba City. He bought his own very first BMX bike after hard work spent at his Papas and saved birthday money. He spent a lot of time at the mall, the gym with his younger brother, in the backyard swimming with his friends and family, in the kitchen dancing with his mother, at the river fishing with his father, taking trips with his older brother and friends, evenings with his newborn niece, in his bedroom livestreaming and playing his music a little bit too loud at times, and nextdoor helping the elderly neighbor when she needed him. He believed in his President, he believed in his country, he believed in his heritage, and he was a PROUD American. He wore shotgun shells along with dog tags around his neck and when he turned 18, he transitioned to a heavy set Nordic symbol necklace. He was proud of who he was. He was happy with the person he was. He was the best little big brother a person could ask for. He was a supportive son. He was a best friend. He was your family away from family if you needed it and he was there as a baby sitter for his friends children when they needed a baby sitter. He was the guy who was always there and called on.

Noah had just turned 18 in August. This was going to be his year. He loaded up in the car with his Mother and Father and cast his vote for the 2020 Presidential Election. He aspired for the military. He aspired for a house. He was applying for jobs in a pandemic hoping to get out there, build his credit, buy a home in Texas, and marry his beautiful girlfriend Kira. She made him a better man and he loved her deeply. They had picked out the types of flowers and colors they wanted. They had 2 fur babies they considered their children. They were planning on joining the military together and starting a family.

Kira is a beautiful soul, an old soul, and a giving soul. Rarely thought of herself and very quickly caught the hearts of the family and integrated herself in. She caught the heart of a 2 year old little girl with a bond like glue within seconds of seeing eachother. Before moving her way down to be with the family, she lived 2 trees from the top of a mountain in Weeverville California. She was fearless and full of life and was a genuine breath of fresh air. She was politically independent and that didnt stop her from becoming a part of a republican family. She judged no one and loved everyone.

The cost and expenses are for funeral costs, a memorial, celebration of life, and a memorial plaque. We love them both dearly
