Annette & Jeff, our hearts where broken when we heard the news. We all loved Noah and he will surely be missed. Our prayers go out to you and the family.
My condolences to the Tibbetts family, as well as Noah’s friends and his fiancé.
So sad to see a life cut short. Noah- you were certainly a well known figure in the weight room. You will be missed by many but I hope you have found a peaceful place in Paradise. God bless you buddy and your family for such a tragic loss that they now must face.
Annette, Jeff and Amanda,
Our hearts go out to you, and we are praying that the Lord will comfort and embrace you at this very difficult time. We enjoyed knowing Noah over the years at Lassen Pines in our kids group, later as a helper, and at Murrieta Hot Springs. We are comforted that now he is with his Savior and Lord.
My fiancé Andre Jarrett in case there is any confusion. I am his older sister. Just to clear up if any confusion.
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made….All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!” Psalm 139: 13, 16-17 Praying for you Jeff, Annette and Amanda!
Noah will be missed. I remember when he was part of the children’s group both in Murrieta and Lassen Pines, and then he graduated to being a helper. I pray that God’s presence full of love and peace will surround you, and that He will comfort and strengthen you during this difficult time. Psalm 29:11, 2 Corinthians 1:3-4. Know there is a day coming when he will wipe away all tears and there will be no more death or mourning. Revelation 21:4
Noah will be missed. Between Murrieta, Oak Glen, and Lassen it was good to get to know him. So sorry for your loss, there are no words to express the grief we have and our grief does not compare to yours. May the God of all Comfort, Comfort you during this difficult time.
Jeff and Annette my heart is broken for you two many hugs and lots of prayers to help you through this tragedy.
My condolences to the family. Losing someone we love is very difficult so we all need comfort to deal with our grief. 2 Cor. 1:3,4 tells us where we can find comfort.
