Noah was born to Clemence Charboneau and Marques Littlewind on August 23rd, 2001 in Devils Lake, ND.  Noah was in the 5th grade and attended Minnewaukan Public School.  Noah always had a smile on his face and was a joy to be around all the time. Noah was quite the character and has lots of crazy and funny stories to tell. Some of Noah's favorite foods he liked were: breakfast burritos, pizza, spaghetti, ramen noodles, and every kid's favorite…cereal.  Some of the activities he enjoyed with his brothers, sisters, cousins, and friends were:  riding bike, jumping on the trampoline, basketball, football, swimming, playing with toy guns, playing army, computer, and playing games on the  X-Box like Halo Reach, Modern Warfare 2, Halo ODST and Black Ops.  Noah was a big help with whatever needed to be done, whether it was yard work or house work.  He was always willing to give a helping hand.  He enjoyed family time every chance he got, especially on Sunday mornings when Reuben would cook up a big breakfast for everyone. He was always the first one up and the first one served.  He enjoyed going to the park to play with his brothers and sisters, stopping at the store for goodies such as chips, pop, something sweet, or just going to town to eat with the family.  Noah was a very intelligent, smart, happy-going kid who touched many hearts.
