Noah M. “Pudge” Sharpe

Noah M. “Pudge” Sharpe gained his angel wings on Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2024, while surrounded by his loving family. He was 15 years old.

Noah and his twin brother Jacob were born on July 7, 2009, in Milwaukee, Wis., to parents Daniel and Darling (nee Gutierrez) Sharpe. The boys were originally triplets with brother Nathan, who was born sleeping at 28 weeks.

The family has lived in Port Washington since 2005. Noah was very involved in the special education program in the Port Washington-Saukville School District and was currently a freshman at Port Washington High School. His favorite programs included speech therapy with Ms. Pinke, vision therapy with Mrs. Koppa and music therapy with Ms. Melody.

Noah was a member of New Life Church in Grafton, where he loved to participate in Christian worship time and praise music. He was the ambassador of Noah’s Place, affiliated under Mel’s Charities of Ozaukee County, and looked forward to helping host events at his family’s home every year.  Even though he was primarily homebound, Noah loved to spend time outside listening to the birds or going on rides with his family.

Those left to cherish his memory include his parents Daniel and Darling Sharpe of Port Washington; brothers Isaac (Vanessa) of West Bend, Zachary (girlfriend Abby Shaurette) and Jacob Sharpe, both of Port Washington; niece Kalani Sharpe; and grandmothers Rafaela Moncada (special friend Bob Lammers) of Oak Creek and Patricia Sharpe of Milwaukee.

He is further survived by uncles Michael (Alyson) Sharpe, Tony (Tina) Gutierrez and Jairo (Reyna) Gutierrez; aunts Johanna Gutierrez, Scarlet (Sam) Owen and Shaddaira (Michael) Edwards; godfather Daniel Frey; special caregiver Socorro Montoya; cousins; other family members;  and friends.

He was preceded in death by brothers Nathan and Adam and grandfathers Salvador Gutierrez and James Sharpe.

Funeral services for Noah will be held at 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, at Eernisse Funeral Home, 1600 W, Grand Ave., Port Washington. Pastor John Timothy will preside over the service. The family will greet visitors at the funeral home Friday, Oct. 18, from 3 to 5 p.m.

Noah will be laid to rest the following day at Pinelawn Memorial Park in Milwaukee.

If desired, memorials in Noah’s name can be made to Noah’s Place c/o Mel’s Charities.

Pudge’s beautiful laugh will now grace heaven’s space and will be forever missed by his family.
