Noah Paul Yamilkoski
March 23, 1998 — May 26, 2011
While in the arms of his loving parents, Jesus came and carried Noah Paul Yamilkoski age 13 home on Thursday, May 26, 2011, after an inspiring, valiant battle against cancer. Noah was born March 23, 1998, the son of Paul E. and Kristi A. (Dague) Yamilkoski in Hickory, North Carolina. He was a seventh grade student at Center Point-Urbana Middle School. Noah gained his courage from God’s word, including his favorite verse “I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength” Phil 4:13.
Survivors include his parents; Paul E. and Kristi A. Yamilkoski; two sisters, Tori and Tiffany; his grandparents, Paul J. and Cathie Yamilkoski of Toddville, Iowa; Dick and Linda Fellows of Center Point; and great-grandmother, Susan Engelkens.
Also surviving are uncles: Robby Dague of Center Point and his children, Ryleigh and Avery, Andrew (Tammy) Yamilkoski of Toddville and their children, Jazmine and Aidan, Matthew (Stephanie) Yamilkoski of Toddville and their children, Korin, Ashley, Anthony, and Andrew, and “Aunt” Kim Vock of Iowa City.
He is also survived by a tremendous extended family: the community of Center Point, the Center Point United Methodist Church, the Stormin’ Pointers, and the staff of the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital, including special doctors and nurses Mary, Amy, Rich, Brian, Sarah, and Trish and social worker, John who cared for Noah during the treatments he received while fighting against cancer since the age of 5.
Noah enjoyed Tae Kwon Do, riding his bike and skateboard, and playing Pokemon and many other games. He loved helping and giving to others. He was an adventurous child who threw danger to the wind and lived his short life to the fullest.
