Noah Nicholas Smith was born to Robie and Linda Smith of Jewell, July 8, 1999. He was called to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, April 16, at the age of 16.
Noah was a sophomore at BHS. He was an outstanding academic student, as well as an extremely gifted athlete. "Bobber" as he was affectionately known by his family (ask the family for the origin of the nickname) was a passionate and fierce competitor, whether it be with a ball, a bat, or a book, Noah always pushed himself to be the best at everything he did. "If you ain't first, you're last!" was a quote he often used. He was loved and respected by his family and friends. He enjoyed his niece and nephews. He also loved working on the farm. In his free time he would be out shooting baskets or playing X-box.
