Noah Scribner prepared to complete the Pimpanogos High School next week, and soon set out to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of the saints of the last few days-his life after a fatal crash in American Fork Canyon.

According to the Utah Highway Patrol, the 17-year-old drove a motorcycle at around 2:09 p.m. that drove to the west on State Route 92 when he lost control as he rounded off a corner and pulled him off and plunge off the street. The front wheel of the bicycle came off and scribner suffered serious injuries. First aiders who arrived, worked on fulfilling life -saving measures, but he died at the scene, said UHP.

In a Gofundme account that is set up to collect money for the burial costs, Scribner's family described him as a “valued son, brother, uncle and friend who brought so much love and laughter into her life”.

The loss of scribner is not only felt by his relatives and relatives, but those who knew him best at school also remember to serve his infectious personality and wishes.

Robyn Bretzing teaches physical education at the Timpanogos High School and was Scripter's Leadership Advisor in the school's packing program.

Bretzing said several of his siblings and relatives also took part in Pimpanogo's high, so she is quite familiar with her family. But she enjoyed getting to know Scribner in the past three years.

“Noah was a remarkable young man,” she told Daily Herald. “He had such a funny personality and really dealt with other students in our team and throughout the school. They would always see how he went along the hallway, who said hello to people, even if he didn't know her, he wanted to make sure that she remembered and accepted.”

Beyond the classroom and the corridors, his Loves said that scribner danced the ballroom, enjoyed working on cars, being outside and spending time with family and friends.

“I thought it was great how he used his talents to find friends and find connections for life,” said Bretzing.

These lifelong connections include other dancers and faculty members of the Byu Youth Dancesport program with which he improved his craft as a dancer, said Director Brittney Wakefield.

She remembered to meet Scribner at a young age, but said that he had more passion than most dancers who are twice as old. Then to work with him over the years to realize his dancing dreams.

In a statement sent to the Daily Herald, Byu Youth Dancesport member Julie Petersen told a memory of a dance competition when he was ten years old. He had become bad and feared that he could need someone who could replace him.

“But Noah was determined to be a team player and told me that he could make it. Shortly before the team went on the floor, he was sick in a nearby trash can. Not a minute later he got up, smiled on his face and danced like nothing happens.

Wakefield said, although his time on earth is limited, his memory and mind are valued forever.

“Noah and the Scribner family have been members of the Byu Youth Dancesport community for a decade. He was one of the hard -working, committed and passionate dancers with whom I ever had the privilege.

Byu Youth Dancesport has planned a vigil from candlelight in honor of scribner on Thursday at 8 p.m., which takes place in OREM 1697 N. 320 West.

At the Timpanogos High School, the feeling was dark in the days since the death of Scribner, and Bretzing said that she and others were destroyed by the news and still tumbling with the loss. According to this fatal incident, the Alpine school district has provided consulting meetings for those at school who want to.

“When tragic events take place, we make sure that the students have resources and our specialists are willing to provide this support. It is something we do very well, although the need is at the most difficult times,” said Rich Stowell, communication director of the Alpine school district, in an explanation.

Bretzing said that she would remember scribner because of his big heart and friendliness towards others.

“I don't think he recognized the way he had and many students begin to recognize the influence he had on so many, only because of who he was,” she said.

From Wednesday the crash was still examined, said UHP.
