In Loving Memory of Gary David Noar

Gary Noar, age 66, of Trinidad, passed away from complications of kidney cancer & pulmonary embolism on December 6, 2024. Gary was an adventurous spirit and avid hiker. He loved motorcycles and exploring the great outdoors.

Gary was a loyal friend, brother and uncle, and was a loving pet-parent to his cat Max aka Maxine aka “Not My Cat”.

An informal get-together to celebrate Gary Noar’s life will be held on Jan. 19, 2025, 1 p.m. at Trinidad Town Hall. Friends and family are invited to join in remembrance and support.

Gary Noar was born in Lynwood, California in 1958. He graduated from Bellflower High School in 1976. He moved from Southern California up to the Trinidad area around 1983.

Gary graduated from Cal State Humboldt with a B.S. in Computer Information Systems in 1998. Due to a lack of jobs locally, he moved to Alaska about a year later to work at a university in their I.T. department.

Around 2002, Gary got an I.T. job at Cal State Humboldt, and worked there until he retired in 2023.

We are very thankful that the good Lord blessed Gary with an extra 18 months of life beyond the original cancer prognosis.

We appreciated his sense of humor and the way he heartily laughed at jokes. We deeply miss Gary — and will always remember his kindness and thoughtful ways.
