Noah Strange, 18, a spirited soul known for his adventurous nature and enduring sense of humor, passed away on June 9, 2024, in Oaktown, Indiana. Noah was born on July 8, 2005 in Lafayette, Indiana, immediately nicknamed Mr. Peabody, where his infectious laughter and love for life left an indelible mark on all those he encountered.
A beloved son to Ronda and Dustan Strange, Noah grew up surrounded by a large, loving family which included siblings Shane (Tricia) Strange, Skylor Strange, Catherine (Tavon) Prater, Gaige (Anthony) Enochs, Will Loveing, David Shea, and Cody (Shyanne) Carter. His role as Uncle “Noahie” to Aaron, Abby, Sammy, Bella, Raylynn, Beau, Jackson, Jeremy, James, Haislee, and Greyson filled him with great pride and joy. Noah was preceded in death by his cherished Granny, Pappy, Mamaw, Grandma Strange, his uncle Bub Marsh, and his niece Nevaeh. His memory will live on through his numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Completing his education in high school, Noah went on to be a diligent worker in the automotive industry. Outside of his work, his life was rich with diverse interests ranging from assembling intricate Lego structures, playing Call of Duty on his Xbox, to indulging his keen eye for fashion, notably his admiration for Versace and Jordan shoes, as well as being an herbalist who had a “green thumb”. Noah cherished spending quality time with family and friends, keeping active at the gym, cruising in his white Jeep, and feeling the wind through his hair as he rode on the back of his dad’s motorcycle as a younger boy. He truly lived life to the fullest; his life was a highway.
Noah’s legacy is one of laughter, love, and the attitude with which he approached every day. He will be profoundly missed and forever remembered as a beacon of light and love in the lives of those who knew him. Memorial contributions may be made to the family.

There will be a Celebration of Life held at a later date.
