Noah Hockley

Noah has lived his entire life in Gilpin County. We can remember when we brought Noah home from the hospital. From that day until the age of a year and a half he only sleep from one hour up to three due to acid reflux. That said he has amazed us over the years in all of his accomplishments. 

He started out young raising ducks, chickens, a turkey, and goats. Along with the cats and dogs. He has an amazing gift with animals. 

Noah always sets out to do his very best in the things he loves to do. Baseball was a hit for him. He loved playing shortstop and pitching. He enjoys hiking, camping, swimming, and hunting. He has very good survival skills and strength. Speaking of strength, he loves to always stand up for others and along the way train them to build muscle along with respect and integrity. 

Noah coached and taught at a Latina-owned workout facility in Northglenn, Colorado, called Warriors Club Vive En Control. This young boy has definitely turned into a man. His motivation is strong and inspiring. 

He has worked at The Isle Casino where he was a shift lead at Starbucks. He is now working at the Monarch Chophouse. Managers at the Monarch Casino have asked Noah to help write a business plan to help them replan and drive more business to their coffee shop, java etc., at the casino. 

Noah also is an inspiration to others by keeping God first in his life. He reads the Bible and prays. Noah, your mother and I know you are such a wonderful blessing to us and we have had a fun time watching you grow up so far. Congratulations on graduation from Gilpin High School.
