Noah was THE sweetest, most loving young man. Diagnosed with autism at a young age, he excelled in programs and schools for special needs students and brought joy and inspiration to all who knew him.
He is survived by his parents, Ray & Lisa Kaforey, brother Nicholas Kaforey (Izzy), sisters Rebecca Christman (Bill) and Megan Vandewinckel (Matt), grandparents Larry & Sue Smith and Patricia Taillie, nephews Jackson and Blake Allen, niece Savanna Christman, and several uncles, aunts, and cousins. He is preceded in death by grandparents Anthony & Betty Kaforey, grandfather Bernie Kotwas, uncles Frank Calabrese and Tony Kaforey, and aunt Charlene Kaforey.
Noah's educational journey included Quest Elementary, Merton Williams Middle School, and Hilton High School (Class of 2014) in Hilton, New York, and a graduate of the Bell Program at Roberts Wesleyan University.
In his career, Noah worked at the University of Rochester in the Project Search program. For the past four years, he has volunteered at Lattimore Physical Therapy in North Greece, where he is loved and treated as a Lattimore family member. He enjoys hobbies such as building Legos, bowling, Wii, board games, hiking, swimming, bingo, reading, watching his many favorite TV shows, and attending country music concerts.
Bartolomeo and Perotto Funeral Home (1411 Vintage Lane, Rochester, New York 14626) is assisting with the arrangements. A viewing will be held on April 4th from 4:00 to 7:00 pm.
