Obituary For Noah Hiebert

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the sudden passing of our precious son Noah on Sunday, November 22, 2015 at the age of 4 years. He passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Grande Prairie.

Noah was born at the QEII Hospital in Grande Prairie on December 19, 2010. During labor he suffered a severe brain injury that led to him being diagnosed with severe cerebral palsy. He was wheelchair-bound and non-verbal, but he adored his father Caleb more than anyone else in the world. He was obsessed with Video on Trial, and loved to be bounced around on bumps in the road while in his wheelchair. He loved school and had many friends who adored pushing him around in his wheelchair and reading to him in class. He loved swimming and hot tubs, and had an infectious giggle.

His favorite game was to be lifted slowly from the ground to as high as you could reach, and then dropping him suddenly to start the game over again. It was from this game that we first heard him laugh at 12 months old.

Noah never had it easy in life, but he had the most memorable smile and he brightened the lives of everyone around him. We may have only had 5 years to enjoy with him, but the lessons he taught us about love and compassion will remain with us forever.

He is survived by his loving parents Olivia Greenham and Caleb Hiebert; his grandparents Robert and Nola Greenham, and Eugene and Brenda Hiebert; his [A]untie Ramsay, his Auntie Olivia and Uncle Dan; and his cousins: Evan, Lily, Luke and Lincoln.

Noah’s Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, November 28, 2015, at 10:00am at Oliver’s Funeral Home in Grande Prairie (10005 107 Ave). There will be a luncheon following the non-denominational service.

There will be a second service on Saturday, November 28, 2015 at 2:00pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Grande Prairie (10135 128 Ave). There will be a luncheon following the service.

    I imagine that Noah arrived at heaven's gate and when the keeper said, "hello", Noah found that he had a voice and said hello right back. And when he was offered angel wings he realized he could stand, and said "I don't need to fly, thank you, I will walk and run and jump". I cannot imagine the sorrow of losing a child, but in my heart I know that he is free. And that he will always be with you.

    So sorry to hear about your sweet little man. We first met when I donated milk to your sweet prince. My heart aches for you as parents. Thinking of you

    Very sad to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

    So sorry to hear of your loss. What a relief it is to know that Jehovah sees our grief and 'collects our tears...recording them in his book', perhaps beside Noah's name, that is surely now recorded in that book of life. Ps 56:8. How comforting it is to know he not only is able and willing to right the wrong of death but that he also longs to see these ones enjoying perfect life. We eagerly await the ressurection with you when we can enjoy getting to know our loved ones as healthy young adults.

    Olivia & Caleb, My heart breaks knowing that your Noah is no longer with you. There could never be enough words to tell how special he was to so many - even those who never had the chance to meet him. Thank you for sharing him with all of us, the pain and the joy - every step of the journey. Sending comfort and love always, The Warden Family Stacy, Chris, Noah & Luke

    Please know that you have our deepest sympathies. Children are Jehovah's gift and we know that you cherished the gift of your son and grandson, Noah. Keep that little memory close to your heart until we see him again in the resurrection. He is in the best place he could possibly be now, safe in the memory of his Creator. We are glad to have had the opportunity to meet him in his short time with you. May our God of all comfort strengthen you in your sorrow. Your friends, Harvey, Sharon and Robin

    Caleb and Olivia, We are so sorry to hear about Noah's passing. Following Olivia's posts helped us appreciate what a beautiful little man he was. And you are so right, the lessons we learn from sharing time with these children are so important. You will miss him a great deal. We also send our love to the Grandparents on both sides, and Olivia and Dan and the children. Our thoughts are with you all, Doug and Margo Stewart Evansburg, AB
