Noah’s Bench and Tree Installed
We are very grateful for all who contributed through the GoFundMe campaign so that a bench and tree could be set up in memory of Noah. The bench and tree are located right where Noah worked as a camp counselor for kids and led them through many story adventures — like “zombie apocalypse capture the flag”. Noah was a budding birder and the bench and tree are near an area that is being restored as a habit for birds and bees. It is also close to the park center’s fire circle which seemed a fitting place for one who liked to entertain by telling stories.
Patches and Pins
We have made patches and pins of two of Noah’s character drawings of himself. Our hope is that they can be artifacts to help keep his memory alive but also conversation starters around depression awareness. If you are interested in getting a patch or a pin please reach out to us at rogers.todd.l@gmail.com
