Beyond organised sports, Noah loved staying active and adventurous. He enjoyed challenging himself at the gym and spending time at the bike park. Some of his happiest memories were made attending Liverpool FC and Luton Town FC matches with his father.
Above all else, he cherished spending time with his friends and family; they were the heart of his world, the family's statement continued.

The family expressed their gratitude for the kind words and support from the community during this incredibly difficult time. We are utterly devastated; Noah's death has left a hole in our lives that will remain forever, they said, capturing the profound grief of their loss.
The collision also left two other teenage boys with serious injuries. They were taken to hospital for treatment following the incident. The community of Flitwick and the wider Bedfordshire area are now mourning the loss of a young life full of promise, as the legal process begins for those charged in connection with the tragic event.
