"Noodles"

Noodles, a beloved figure known for his incredible talents as a general contractor specializing in roofing, passed on November 22, 2024, in Indianapolis, surrounded by his closest friends. Born on May 1, 1967, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, he was the cherished son of Darlynne Lemieux. 

A man of many layers, Noodles was not only a professional who excelled in his field but also an individual rich in personality and kindness. He earned a bachelor's degree in English and was working diligently toward his master's degree, reflecting his lifelong love for learning. His friends knew him as the best companion anyone could ask for, always willing to lend a helping hand or provide unwavering support. He cherished his cats and had a notable affection for animals, showcasing a softer side amidst his rugged exteriors.

Outside of his professional achievements, Noodles immersed himself in hobbies that brought him joy and peace. He reveled in the great outdoors, often seen hunting or taking peaceful naps under trees surrounded by deer, appreciating nature's tranquility. His Harley was more than just a motorcycle; it symbolized his adventurous spirit. Noodles was also an avid collector of guns and knives, blending both passion and hobby into a unique pursuit. He enjoyed lazy afternoons in his hammock, where he would bask in the sun like a snake, relishing the beauty of his backyard by the lake.

A dedicated member and loving brother of the Midnight Riders Motorcycle Club, Noodles was a vibrant presence at The Elk River Sportsmen Club, connecting with many who admired his zest for life. His departure leaves a profound void in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His friends recall the warmth of his smile, his infectious laughter, and his unwavering ability to brighten any gathering.

He is preceded in death by his mother Darlynne, his uncle Chuck, his grandma Anna “Guffy”, Cousin Jimmy.

He is survived by his beautiful daughter Tina, his 5 aunts: Jane, Geryl, Anna, Karine and Linda. His uncle Doug, his cousin Garrett. His many nieces and nephews and his 8 wonderful cats.

He is also survived by his dear brothers in Midnight Riders Motorcycle Club. They will never forget you and will continue to ride in your spirit.

Noodles' visitation will take place on December 7, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by a heartfelt funeral service at 12:00 PM, both held at Washington Park East, located at 10722 E Washington St, Indianapolis, IN 46229.

His memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those who loved him and were fortunate enough to call him their friend. His spirit, full of love and loyalty, will continue to inspire all who remember him. As we celebrate his life, we take solace in knowing that he rests peacefully, surrounded by love and fond memories.

Noodles Prayer

I can travel in any direction and find a warm bed, and a hot meal, and see a face I missed. On the road there is only wind. A nomad is always alone but has a most fulfilling life. I have met more people of more types than I even imagined could be possible. My life if I described it would hopefully be completely unique! I have met some really incredible people! When I'm gone, I want to leave behind a million smiles but want only a few to know my name. When my day comes my brothers will pick up a shovel and bury me with their own hands. I'm not sure I deserve more than that? If that itself. But since those are my cards. I'm going to write this down, and I hope it makes you sad, happy, think about stuff and love yourself.
