Noah Jon Dinger, 24

Noah was born Jan. 27, 1999, in Colville, Wash., to Seth Dinger, who raised him in Kellogg, Idaho. He graduated from Kellogg High School in 2017, where he met his wife, Kaylei. 

He knew from a young age that he wanted to be a miner like his father and grandfather before him. He began mining in 2019 and began working for Moran in 2022. Noah and Kaylei welcomed their first son, Rylan, in 2020 and their second son, Maddox, in 2022. They were married Sept. 1 of 2022. Noah's greatest joy was spending time with his wife and sons. 

He was a fan of the Broncos and the L.A. Dodgers. He loved listening to podcasts, rock and rap. He loved comedy shows, skiing, camping and family trips. He was a huge fan of all things spicy and Noah was passionate about cooking. Earlier this year, he discovered a love of dirt biking. 

Noah is survived by his wife, Kaylei, his two sons, Rylan and Maddox, his parents, Seth and Angela Dinger, his siblings, Neveah Schabell, Madyson Umphenour, Kylee Carlson, Gavin Dinger, Jay Dinger, Jeremiah Reese and his grandmothers, Judy Dinger and Patty Carlson. He was predeceased by Dale Dinger, in 2009. 

To know Noah is to have loved him. Noah was a beloved husband, a dedicated father, and a cherished son and grandson. His memory will live on, and his legacy will be carried on by his sons. We will always remember Noah as the life of the party, the guy with the widest smile, and the man who had a way of connecting with everyone in the room.

A memorial will be held at Kellogg High School on Nov. 25 at 2 pm. Reception to follow service at the inland lounge.
