This is an incredibly painful and devastating loss. Noah Snyder’s passing, alongside his teammate Scott Michaud, is a tragedy that has rippled through not only the Haudenosaunee Nationals and Marquette University communities, but through every heart connected to them.

This is an incredibly painful and devastating loss. Noah Snyder’s passing, alongside his teammate Scott Michaud, is a tragedy that has rippled through not only the Haudenosaunee Nationals and Marquette University communities, but through every heart connected to them.

Noah was more than an athlete—he was a young man who honored his heritage, uplifted his team, and carried a deep sense of responsibility and pride in everything he did. To lose someone with such promise, integrity, and spirit is beyond heartbreaking.

The tribute paid by the Haudenosaunee Nationals beautifully captures the depth of who he was: a respectful representative of his people, a dedicated teammate, and a person whose light touched many. His legacy will live on—in the stories told, the games played in his memory, and in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

May Noah and Scott be carried gently into the arms of peace. And may those mourning them feel held by the strength and unity of their communities.

With deepest sympathy and respect. 🕊️
