Noah Kasimir Junt, 19, of Kennewick, Washington, passed peacefully from this earth into the presence of the Lord on August 12th, 2023. He was the younger of two sons, born to Kasey and Paula Junt, on June 23rd, 2004, in Kennewick, Washington.

During his early childhood, Noah's hobbies included playing flag football, soccer, and baseball. His parents were very involved, coaching many of his sports teams. He was very adventurous during this time and enjoyed riding his bicycle, from anywhere in the neighborhood or up the mountain. His father introduced him to remote-controlled airplanes and rockets, which he took a strong liking to. He was also a gifted skateboarder and spent many hours learning tricks at skate parks. Noah enjoyed "popping wheelies" on anything with wheels, which ranged from dirt bikes to wheelchairs. Noah's nurturing nature drew him towards a love for plants and animals. One of his favorite past times was tending to his garden, which included flowers and other unique plants. He often complained that he couldn't grow tropical plants because he lived in the wrong planting zone. To combat this issue, he took it upon himself to build a miniature greenhouse in his bedroom, which included about 50 exotic plants. He made his parents proud through his love for horticulture, as it decorated their house. The maple tree he grew from seed still dominates the backyard. When his allergies forced the plants out of his bedroom, he discovered his love for raising fish and filled every wall with an aquarium. At one point, he even convinced his parents of the need for a 125-gallon fish tank in the living room. And if that wasn't enough, Noah dug a 12-foot-deep-pool-sized pond for his freshwater fish with nothing but a shovel and tenacity.

Noah was intelligent, graduating at the early age of 16. He pursued a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. He was gifted with a mechanical mind, and worked with his cousin Jack Bunger, whom he learned many carpentry traits from. He used these skills to take on many home projects and repairs, which he loved doing. Any time there was an issue, he was on top of any and every repair. After his father's passing, he spent a lot of time fixing the dirt bikes as it brought his family together during his childhood. At his final place of employment, Noah was surprised to find himself a niche as a successful Salesman at Spectrum. He found a purpose in serving his community through making genuine connections and was grateful for the experience.

He was brave and willing to take on any challenge, no matter the difficulty. He enjoyed competing with his older brother, often challenging him to wrestling matches and weightlifting competitions. He was continuously working on his health and fitness to maintain his physique. This included his 6-pack abs, which he was very proud of. He was intense, always giving more than 300% to the things he loved. His dedication showed as he was referred to as the strongest teenager at the gym. Noah also had a curious mind and saw the world through a different lens. He was a deep thinker, constantly questioning things about life and his surroundings. His humor was unique, and his laugh was contagious. His quirky personality never failed to put a smile on those around him. He brought joy to others by sharing obscure facts at random times.

Noah was an empathetic, sensitive 19-year-old. He was never afraid to be vulnerable with his feelings and wore his heart on his sleeve. Noah was big on saying "I love you" to his loved ones, and never failed to say it, even after an argument. He checked in on everyone, ensuring they were okay, and always supporting others emotionally, even if he wasn't doing well. His main priority was family, and he had a very special love for his dogs, Mini, Max, and Millie. Noah cherished every moment he spent with his family, enjoying simple conversations and walks. He also had a special love for Christ. He desired for everyone to get closer to God and was always encouraging those around him to attend Church. His devotion to God made him extremely selfless. He was often helping the less fortunate, often giving more than he had. His strong faith grew as he knew God would provide. Noah was appreciative of God's creations and enjoyed the small things in life. He was passionate about nature, taking an interest in trees and flowers. If he came across a unique flower, his face would light up. He spent countless nights stargazing, pointing out constellations in the sky. Noah left a profound legacy of love and left a mark on those who were fortunate enough to have met him.

Noah is survived by his mother, Paula, older brother, Jacob, and honorary sister, Henna Farooqi. His aunts, Cynthia Junt, Marci (Rick) Bower, Noria (Dave) Tetreault and Lorry Perkins, and his Uncle Monte (Tami) Junt, grandparents, Paul (Judy) McMakin and Vicki (Dave) McCurry, numerous cousins, and dogs, Mini, Max, and Millie. He is preceded in death by his beloved father, Kasey Junt, and grandparents, Larry and Monica Junt.
