Support Noah's Family in Honoring His Memory

My name is Mizanna and I am the older sister of Noah Bagby who will forever be seventeen. Me and my family would like to give Noah the memorial he deserves, honor Noah's memory, and say our last goodbyes. I am asking for donations to help cover Noah's memorial service, the flowers, his casket, headstone, and the burial plot. We would like to be able to raise $25,000 by July 21st 2024 in order to be able to afford Noah's funeral. On July 3rd a tragedy stuck our family that has affected everyone so deeply, from me and my mom all the way to Noah's teachers and friends. Noah was taken away from us far too soon, he left us an hour before he got the chance to turn 18. My mother always noticed that he had the biggest smile on his face everyday, and she always looked forward to waking up and getting a hug from him every morning. He was a big ball of bright energy that lit up every room he walked into. He was a huge leader and advocate for the kids in the community to strive and become better everyday. He encouraged all the young kids he interacted with to stay out of trouble, stay in school, and to listen to their parents. He was always someone you could call if you needed someone to talk to, whether that be emotional support, or for him to get excited for you about your accomplishments. Noah had just graduated and got his high school diploma on June 15th. My brother had so many great plans that he'll never be able to accomplish, but what he did accomplish, he was very proud of and you could see it in his smile.

He loved fishing and he became quite the fisherman over the past couple months, catching everything from Bass, Rainbow Trout, and even a trophy Muskie. He loved to fillet the fish with some help from mom, and she would always fry them up for dinner. We have lots of great memories with Noah and that's what we want Noah to be remembered by. Growing up with Noah and having a younger brother was the best thing that could have ever happened to me and there are no words to explain how much my life has changed since July 3rd. Noah always lifted the spirits of others he was around. We've had teachers, friends, and parents of friends call and tell us how he was such a delight to be around. Noah had big plans to go to Technical College and go into the HVAC industry and start his own family with marriage and kids. Its beyond sorrowful that his life was taken from us but we can honor him by always talking about the kind things he did, remembering the good moments you had with him, and never forgetting his name Noah K Bagby. Noah will truly be missed but never forgotten.

We are asking for support because we did not expect a tragedy like this to ever happen, so we are unprepared and didn't have insurance for Noah. Our family doesn't have enough funds to be able to take care of everything by ourselves. Any leftover funds will go towards helping our mom move from the home he was killed. We will cherish any funding that we receive. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers <3 thank you for your donations, and helping our family out in these hard times.

 Thank you so much everyone for helping us meet our goal ❤️. I wasn’t expecting this to reach so many people and it’s a blessing that so many donated. I cannot thank everyone enough for all the help and support we have gotten. Noahs spirit and energy gives me the strength to keep going and not give up, and I will continue to do what it takes to get Justice for Noah

Again thank you everyone, you definitely brought smiles to me and my mother’s faces now that we know we have the money to lay him to rest. 

I’ve bumped the goal up so that way me and my family can get extra support for the loss of work, and the costs of moving to another place because there is no way my mother would want to keep living at the same place that my brother passed away in front of. It’s already heart wrenching what happened but we don’t want to add to that having to go outside and look at the same spot in the driveway my brother took his lasts breaths at. Changing the goal can also help my mom find some short term housing options while we get everything figured out in the meantime. We will be seeking specialized counseling for grief, the loss of loved ones, and ptsd which will cost us some money out of pocket to seek out the help we need to heal. Again our family is so thankful and grateful for everyone in the community that is helping us ❤️

New update July 21st, 2024:

We have had both services for Noah thanks to all the donations we received we were able to go above and beyond and show Noah all of the love we aren’t able to show him since he’s not here anymore. Thank you for everyone that came to his memorial on July 20th and supported our family, it warms our hearts ❤️ and reminds us that we are loved and Noah will continue to be loved past this lifetime. Thank you again everyone ❤️❤️❤️ all your blessings are so appreciated
