Service Details
Our sweet boy Noah, in the tender embrace of his loving parents Annie and Nick Rivas, was peacefully called to heaven on March 24, 2018. Noah Gabriel, meaning “Rest, Comfort” and “God’s Strength”, was predestined to serve the Lord as our angel. As he rests comfortably in God’s arms, may our angel forever bestow strength and solace to all who loved him.
Noah is survived by his mommy and daddy, Annie and Nick; great-grandmother, Donna Greenwood; maternal grandparents, Greg and Joni (Hockins) Edwards and paternal grandparents, Luis and Ronna (Greenwood) Rivas; aunts and uncles, Brian Edwards, Amanda Rivas, Jack Edwards, Sean and Molly (Edwards) Robinson, and Joey Rivas; cousin, Annabelle Frederici; along with dozens of great-aunts and uncles, second and third cousins, and family friends.
Noah was warmly welcomed into heaven by his great-grandfathers, Ronald Greenwood and Mario Rivas; great-grandparents, John and Marilyn Hockins and Richard and Barbara Edwards; and great-aunts, Michelle Edwards and Theresa Hockins.
A funeral service will be held Wednesday, March 28, 2018 at 12:00 PM with visitation an hour and a half prior at Hamilton’s on Westown Parkway, 3601 Westown Parkway in West Des Moines. Burial will follow at Glendale Cemetery in Des Moines.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be directed to the Kiwanis Miracle League and Mercy Foundation’s Perinatal Bereavement services. We are blessed with an angel in the outfield and sincerely appreciative of the graceful care providers at Mercy Medical Center.

Annie & Nick - words cannot express how heavy my heart is for you. While I can't begin to understand what you're feeling right now, please remember that you are not alone in your sorrow. Not only do you have friends & family who care deeply and are praying for you, but God is walking through this time with you, and He's holding Noah in his arms until you meet again one day. "Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me." Psalm 23:4 *Hugs* to you both.
