Obituary of Kenneth Noah

Kenneth N. Noah age 54 of Fort Morgan, Colorado and formerly of Hugo, Colorado passed away Wednesday, October 26, 2011 at his home. Ken was born November 13, 1956 in Flagler, Colorado the son of Norman Franklin and Madonna Elizabeth (Schalk) Noah. He grew up and attended schools in Hugo, Colorado and graduated from Hugo High School in 1975. Ken played sports in high school and had a strong work ethic and could always be found mowing lawns for extra spending money. After Ken graduated high school, he worked construction with Red Myatt and he also worked for the auto parts store in Limon, Colorado. For the past nineteen years, Ken has worked for the state of Colorado as a port of entry officer at the Port of Entry in Fort Morgan, Colorado. Ken enjoyed his job and was always known for his sacrifice and dedication to his work. Ken rarely missed a day of work and his loyalty and hard work will be greatly missed. Ken enjoyed traveling, especially his trips with his pick-up truck and camper. You could say that Ken was a great captain of the highway, because he traveled many places all over the country where he chauffeured his mother Madonna to the state of Georgia where they would visit his sister, Danelle and her family. He liked camping with his mom at the Black Hills in South Dakota and the casinos in Deadwood which was really one his mother’s favorite places. Ken’s biggest passion and hobby was his slot cars which took his friends and himself to the Chicago and Cleveland Slot Car Conventions. It was something he found relaxing to work on after he got off work at night. He has won several first and second place trophies and had a few articles written up about him in some of the national magazines. Ken will be greatly missed by the by the many friends he made wherever he went and by his family he loved so much. Ken’s special email addressed will be missed by all, “Kennoah”@twol.com and he would like everybody to know this is not a goodbye but rather a see you all in heaven. His big heart, his spirit, and his love will be expressed in everybody’s daily lives forever…. Ken is survived by his loving and devoted mother, Madonna Noah of Hugo, Colorado; one brother, Donald J.
