After a tragic incident at Comox Lake last weekend, friends are asking the community to rally behind the family of the 17-year-old who passed away.
A GoFundMe was started to support the family of Lucian Noble and raise funds for the family to have a celebration of life.
Family friend and fundraiser organizer Courtney Houston said Noble’s life was just getting started and he was a gentle soul, who cared and loved with his entire heart.
“The love he had for his mom and dad, and sister Ava was like no other, he was such a caring young man always willing to help when needed,” she wrote in the GoFundMe.
Noble died Saturday, July 5 after jumping from the Devil’s Ladder cliff at Comox Lake and failing to resurface.
Paddleboarders located him nearby and, despite lifesaving efforts by them and first responders once they arrived, he was pronounced deceased.
As of Thursday afternoon, $2,855 has been raised for the family and the fundraising has a goal of $11,000.
