Noah M. Pitsenbarger

Noah Michael Pitsenbarger, 15 months, went to be with the Lord on Dec. 12, 2012, at the University of Virginia Medical Center after a courageous battle with leukemia.

Noah was born Sept. 4, 2011, at Rockingham Memorial Hospital and was the son of Brandon Lee Chandler and Ravyn Pitsenbarger Chandler.

Even though he was diagnosed with cancer, he was always a strong, vibrant little guy whose smile always lit up the room.

He is loved by his brother, Sean Mason Pitsenbarger; sister, Marlee Grace Pitsenbarger; maternal grandmother, Donna Wright; paternal grandparents, Jeffery Allen and Kathy Bare Chandler; aunt, Taylor Brooke Chandler; two uncles, Benjamin Clay Chandler and Rashad Ashton Pitsenbarger; and numerous extended family and friends. He will be dearly missed by all that knew him.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, 2012, at the Kyger Funeral Home Chapel in Harrisonburg, with Pastor Kevin Gerber officiating. The family will receive friends following the service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to UVA Children’s Hospital, 1215 Lee St., Charlottesville, VA 22901, or The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Donor Services, P.O. Box 4072, Pittsfield, MA 01202. Online condolences may be made to Noah’s family at www.kygers.com.
