    This was my friend, he was a wonderful person. He'd been my brothers' best friend for as long as I can remember... (My brother Tyler *Newberg* not Nuberg) Many people loved him, and miss him. He will always be remembered and loved forever in my heart. Noah Pierce a Hero, never forgotten, always missed, always loved.
