<div itemprop="description">First born to Meighan Dawn Ferris-Miles and Jonathan Ross Miles. Grandson to Judith (nee Cuthbertson) and Gordon Miles and Shirley (nee Springgay) and John Ferris. Proud big brother to one-year old sister Rachel Mae. Nephew to Sasha Miles and David Zeegen and to Lisa (nee Tollefson) and Robert Ferris. Cousin to Benjamin and Olivia Zeegen. <br /> <br /> <br />Noah was a trailblazer baby. He was always the first among his many little friends to roll over, grow those first few painful teeth, crawl, or just generally get moving and talking. <br /> <br /> <br />Noah packed a lifetime of love and laughter into a few short years -- one of his first words which he repeated over and over was, &ldquo;happy!&rdquo; <br /> <br /> <br />Noah was an independent adventurous boy even in his early days in the infant room at Woodfield Child Care in Leslieville. He graduated to the toddler room in January 2014, and was happily causing trouble in the preschool room beginning last winter. Noah loved his teachers at Woodfield, and his family knows the feeling was mutual. For Halloween, Noah and his best buddies at Woodfield were superheroes. This fall, Noah and his family moved to their new house -- and Noah chose the paint for his room a bright &quot;Captain America&quot; style blue. <br /> <br /> <br />Noah was a world traveller and adventurer. He joined his mom's annual &quot;Girls' Weekend Away&quot; when he was less than two months old. He explored the rainforests of Costa Rica at six months old and the forests of the Adirondak Mountains at 8 months old -- all from the comfort of a backpack. Later as a toddler, you couldn't drag him out of the pool in Costa Rica or later in El Salvador. He swam in the lake and played on the dock at the cottage with the Miles family. He rode the tractor and combine and fed the donkey at the Ferris farm in Feversham, Ontario. This winter, he tamed Blue Mountain in just two ski lessons. He also looked forward to his weekly soccer sessions with Little Kickers. <br /> <br /> <br />Noah will be remembered for working hard and playing hard &ndash; as a baby he would wear everyone out with his games, and then crawl from the family room to the stairs and ask to take a nap. Noah's family read to him every day and he certainly had his favourites. For Christmas this year, Santa brought Noah a Lightening McQueen remote control race car, as specifically and repeatedly requested months in advance. <br /> <br /> <br />Throughout his first year of life, Noah visited a Toronto grade 3 classroom every three weeks as part of the Roots of Empathy, a program designed to prevent schoolyard bullying and create a culture of more caring, empathetic students. The kindness Noah&rsquo;s students show each other throughout their school days will be his legacy. <br /> <br /> <br />Noah did not live a long time, but he led a big life that was filled with love, right to his last day at home with his family. <br /> <br /> <br />Noah&rsquo;s family is thankful for the amazing support and love from their faith community at The Meeting House in Toronto. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Roots of Empathy Program or Children&rsquo;s Wish Foundation are welcome. <br /></div>
