"I was hoping that things would turn out better than they did", said Brenda Neice, who attended funeral.
Community members said they want answers as to how something so bad could happen to such a good boy. Police are still sorting facts from fiction to determine exactly how Noah ended up in a septic tank. For days, Noah's case has been a heartbreaking mystery in the tight knit community.
"I shiver when I stop and think about it," said Mark DeBusk, New River Valley resident. "No five year old boy deserves that, no matter what happened to him, even if he just fell into something."
Noah's tragic death, has Debusk and other parents concerned about the dangers that exist for their children.
