Noah Kushner, 16 years old, of Tampa Florida and born in Bethlehem Pennsylvania, left behind all his tremendous pain and burden when he opted to depart on November 14th, 2011. He bequeathed all his memories, his irreplaceable philosophy, and his love for life and for others to his mother Beatrice S. von Nagel, his father Bruce J. Kushner, his brother, Alexander S. Kushner, and his twin sisters Julianna L. Kushner and Chanler D. A. Kushner, but also to all his friends at Tampa's King High School and in particular the IB Class of 2013. Also grieving with us are the following paternal relatives: Grandfather Sheldon E. Kushner; Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins Patty, Amos, Rebecca and Liza Friedman; and Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins Barbara, Chris, Marissa, and Nicky Cameron. Sharing our devastating loss as well are the following maternal relatives: Grandmother Monica Chanler Laurin; Aunt and Cousins Katherine and Arthur von Nagel; Uncle, Aunt, and Cousin, Sebastian von Nagel, Deborah Tibbetts, Julian von Nagel; Uncle and Cousin, Benjamin and Mia Chanler Laurin; Uncle, Aunt, and Cousin, Gregoire von Nagel, Julie Petchey, and Nicholas von Nagel; Uncle, Aunt and Cousins, Fabien, Anete, Adrien, and Jonathan von Nagel; and Great Aunt and Cousins Pauline, David, and Julie Petchey. To honor Noah, we'll strive to live a life that Noah would have been proud of, a life of love, joy, ethicality, and goodness, led always with humour and altruism. We endeavor to share and learn with and from one another, as Noah had done and would have kept doing. We want to thank everyone for all the compassionate notes we received and for the tremendous participation from the King High School Students at Noah's Life Celebration on December 14, 2011.
