Noah Matthew Hoover, 26, Indiana, passed away Monday, January 2, 2023.
The son of Gary Hoover, Creekside, and Patricia (Bruce) Loughry, Indiana, he was born April 9, 1996 in Indiana.
Noah was a 2014 graduate of Marion Center Area High School, where he carried on his brothers’ legacies of being a talented athlete in football, basketball and track & field. He will be remembered as a sweet, kind, generous and respectful man who was friendly to everyone. He always had a big smile on his face, a jolly demeanor and never passed up an opportunity to crack a joke or prank someone in the wittiest of ways. He loved hanging out with his family, playing darts, video games and spending time with his best friend, Siera Clark, and her son, Drew. He also loved spending time with his nephews, Sidney and Nolan, and would often play Pokémon Go, football, basketball and many other activities with them. His nephews loved him dearly and looked up to him. He loved Superman and Scooby-Doo and was an avid Steelers and Penguins fan, rarely missing a game. He also shared a unique bond with his brother, Dan, and his nephew, Wyatt, by being one of the three red heads in the immediate family. He had a special relationship with his brother Aaron, who are two years apart, as they were always heavy in competition with one another in sports and video games. Finally, he enjoyed spending time with his father on annual fishing trips as well as hiking, traveling and going out to dinner with his mom and stepdad. Ultimately, Noah will be remembered as a good-hearted person that was loved dearly by his friends, family, and all of those who crossed his path.
