“He will never do all the things he could have achieved through his hard work and the kind of person he is, and it is very difficult to swallow,” said Natalie Schultz, his ballroom teacher.

A beloved ball dancer, a student athlete, a son, a brother, a uncle and a friend will not soon forget by those who knew him best.

“He illuminated a room when he came in and everyone felt like that. We had no idea how much,” said Wilks, Scribner's uncle Kutv said on Thursday. “People would feel that he was her best friend, and for me that is the legacy of him, which he only made to feel comfortable, no matter where he was or what he was doing.”

The high school senior was looking forward to making his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of the saints of the last few days in Honduras. Then he wanted to come back and join the BYU Ballsaal team.

Friends and family said that he all made him feel loved. In the past three days, many have come by to offer Scripner's family support and love. Hundreds of donations to a Gofundme page to pay for his funeral.

“He was one of the most talented dancers I have ever worked with,” said Schultz, his ballroom dance teacher. “I think you will remember him as a very talented dance as a very good friend who will always be there.”

The family hopes to build a scholarship in his name to continue Noah's legacy.
