Ok, I didn't know this kid, but I swear every Junior High/High School aged person in Centerville has been crying the past few days (including me). Noah was a seventh grader at Centerville Junior High School. He was born with a hole in his heart (like me, but mine healed up) and ended up having some five surgeries because of it. He had a pacemaker and while doing his paper route Monday night his body for some reason rejected it, and he had a heart attack. When he was found he was brain dead. They took him to the hospital and he was on life support until around six the next evening, when they pulled it.
At school we have been signing placques and big sheets of paper with condolences to the family and I think this has probably been the main topic of most people's conversations. I didn't know Noah personally but I hear he was a great kid and Centerville Junior High will mourn the loss of their student.
If anyone who reads this believes I have the facts wrong, you can feel free to correct me. If you would like to read his obituary the link is right here:
