Georgetown, KY — The close-knit community of Georgetown and surrounding areas is heartbroken after the sudden death of 12-year-old Noah King, who passed away on Thursday, December 12, 2025, leaving behind a family and circle of friends stunned by the loss of such a young life. Noah’s passing was confirmed in a formal obituary published by Clark Legacy Center and shared on Legacy.com, where friends and neighbors have already begun leaving heartfelt messages of sorrow and support.
Noah was more than just a student at his local school — he was a cheerful presence, described by peers as someone who could light up a room with a smile or friendly word. Many classmates and neighbors posted their remembrances online, recalling his kindness and the easy way he made others feel seen. “He was really nice to me and we got really close,” one former bus-mate wrote, while another noted how Noah’s friendly nature left an impression even on those who didn’t know him well.
At just 12, Noah was in the prime of his youth — still discovering his interests, building friendships, and dreaming about what lay ahead. His family described him as a loving son and sibling, someone who brought laughter into their home and whose absence will be deeply felt during holiday gatherings and everyday moments alike. The warmth he shared with his parents, siblings, and extended family was evident in every story shared online.
Teachers and school staff also expressed their grief, remembering Noah’s gentle curiosity and how he engaged with classmates. While details about the circumstances of his death have not been publicly disclosed beyond the obituary, the outpouring of condolences shows just how widely he was cared for and how deeply his passing has been felt across the community.
To honor Noah’s life, a visitation has been scheduled for Wednesday, December 17, 2025, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Clark Legacy Center located at 601 East Brannon Road in Nicholasville, Kentucky. This time has been set aside for family, friends, classmates, teachers, and community members to come together, share memories, offer condolences, and support one another through this painful time.
Despite the sorrow surrounding his passing, those who knew Noah are focusing on the joy he brought into their lives. From simple moments of laughter at home to the everyday adventures of school and play, the imprint he left on others’ hearts is clear. Stories shared by classmates speak of a boy who was gentle, friendly, and always willing to brighten another’s day.
As the family prepares for services and a future without Noah’s physical presence, they — and the wider Georgetown community — are holding on to the memories he made and the love he shared. In posts on memorial pages, prayers and supportive words continue to flow, illustrating how a young life, though brief, resonated with so many. Further details about services and remembrances may be provided by the family in the coming days.
