Noah Isaiah Fachenda-Gutierrez was born on March 4, 2002 in Madera, CA to Alica Gutierrez. Noah gained his wings on November 11, 2024 in Oceanside, CA.
Noah was a loving son, grandson and a friend to many. He was brave, witty, and kind hearted. Noah had a smile like no other.
Noah resided in Madera for most of his life. After high school graduation, Noah enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Noah was stationed at Camp Pendleton from 2021-2024. According to his mother, “when Noah returned from boot camp you can tell he gained confidence in everything he did.” His personality shined. Noah enjoyed spending time with family, going to concerts, going out to eat and shopping online for anime.
Noah will be missed by all his family and many friends.
