Noah Lynn Stratton , our beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, recently passed away at his home in Blanco, Texas.  Noah was born on New Year's Eve of 1971, and was always proud of the fireworks displayed on his birthday.

Noah is survived by his mother and stepfather, Janice and Richard Williamson; his father and stepmother, Gary and Jody Stratton; his brother and sister-in-law, John Kristian and Heather Stratton; his sister Honey Arnold; his sister and brother-in-law Natalie and Christopher Abbitt; and his brother and sister-in-law Jesse and Mary Stratton.  He was also a very special uncle loved very much by his nieces and nephews Mackenzie Abbitt, Syd Abbitt, Joshua Stratton, Aubrey Stratton, Autumn Stratton, and Julia Stratton.  His dog, Miska, also will miss him terribly.

Noah was a free spirit who lived life to the fullest.  He grew up in Oak Hill, Austin, and Blanco, Texas, and spent several years in Anchorage, Alaska, where he graduated from East Anchorage High School.  He had a passion for salmon fishing in the icy waters of Alaska and anywhere else where he could take his fishing pole.  Keeping with winter sports, he loved ice hockey and was an avid fan of the Las Vegas Golden Knights.  Noah had many friendships developed through common interests, such as cards/poker, woodworking, and motorcycle sports.

Although Noah has left us way too soon, we will hold on to memories filled with his contagious laughter and smile.  His family will honor his memory at a private gathering at a future time.
