KEVIN JOHN NOORLANDER
July 5, 1967 ˜ May 4, 2021
In loving memory of our beloved son, brother, uncle, friend, went to heaven, to be with the Lord May 4, 2021.
He is survived by his parents, Brigitte and John Noorlander of Brush Prairie (Hockinson), WA; his brother, Steve Noorlander; sister, Karin Fahey; nephews, Ryan Fahey, Thomas Noorlander, James Fahey and Phillip Noorlander.
Kevin was an animal lover, but most of all he loved all the big cats; including tigers, lions and cheetahs. He also loved Godzilla and collected them.
His favorite football team was the Steelers. He had a huge collection of memorabilia and a room full of his beloved Steelers.
He was an active 4-H member since high school (Duck, Geese, Chickens) and went on to be a leader and Superindentent many years at the Clark County Fair. He was a PNPA member and breeder and Master exhibitor. Many wonderful people loved Kevin and helped guide him along the way. Louise and Dave Owen were like second parents to him guiding him in 4-H and went to many shows. He was loved by many friends in 4-H.
No one who met him ever forgot his infectious passion for life. Kevin was a huge hugger and you knew you were loved when you got a “Kevin” hug!
His last couple months he spent at Cedar Country home with Chelsea and was lovingly taken excellent care of.

I don´t know what made me think of Kevin today but he visited me and I wondered about him. I think of his smile and laugh. It was so long ago we were classmates. May he rest in peace. Kevin was a special person and I´m sure we will think of him again, often and smile.

My husband, Don and I have been neighbors of John and Brigitte and their family for over 35 years. We have had the pleasure of watching Kevin care for his many ducks, geese and chickens over the years. Every summer, we attended the Clark County Fair and one of the highlights was searching out Kevin's entries in the poultry barn. We even had the pleasure of seeing him there several years as he was supervising his 4-H kids:). I will always remember Kevin for how polite and friendly he always was and will miss seeing him out in his backyard tending to his birds. I am sure Kevin is looking down from Heaven on his family and friends with love. We are keeping all in our prayers as I know Kevin will be missed so much.

All 3 generations of my family really liked Kevin. We liked his enthusiasm and knowledge of poultry. His willingness to help whenever anything needed to be done and most of all his kindness. Kevin was a special person.
