Eight-year-old Noah Bush was found dead in a construction pit full of water in May 2024.

JESUP, Ga. — Editor’s note: A previous headline inaccurately stated that both boys charged in relation to Noah Bush’s death were responsible for killing him. According to the case charges, this was incorrect; only the 11-year-old faced charges of involuntary manslaughter. The headline has been updated to reflect this.

Friends and family of an 8-year-old boy who was found dead in a construction pit in Jesup, Georgia are honoring his life one year later.

Noah Bush was first reported missing on May 15th, 2024. His body was found hours later.

Noah’s family held a memorial service Thursday at Unity Church of God in Jesup. Noah’s mother, Demetrice Fuller, said this has been a difficult year.

“This past year has been a significant struggle for my family and me. While some days are more manageable, there are still tears, intense feelings of guilt, and reminiscing about Noah. We try to engage in activities he once enjoyed. It has been a very difficult time for all of us,” Fuller expressed.

Noah was just like every 8-year-old boy. He loved the color red and he loved sports.

“He’d stand outside literally until dark because he’s got to make 30 free throw shots in order, without missing one, before dinner,” Fuller said.

Most importantly, Noah had a good heart.

“A kind, sweet, confident, determine, little boy,” Fuller said.

An 11-year-old and a 10-year-old were implicated in relation to Noah’s death. They both faced charges of concealing the death of another and criminal trespassing. Additionally, the 11-year-old was charged with involuntary manslaughter and battery, as he confessed to holding Noah’s head underwater.

One year later, the pain has not gone away. It could be felt throughout the room Thursday as family and friends came together to remember Noah. Wearing his favorite color, they shared songs and poems, and shed tears.

Noah’s oldest brother Jamarion Greatheart still holds on to his basketball jersey. He said it is a reminder to keep going just like Noah.

“His biggest thing was ‘I’ll never give up, no matter what you’ll do, I’ll never give up.’ He was destined to live and have a bright legacy,” Greatheart said.

Noah will forever be remembered as a boy who never gave up. His family will now never forget him.

“There is no closure for me…not until I’m gone,” Demetrice said.

Following the memorial service, family and friends released balloons and lanterns near Noah’s gravesite.

The two boys were both sentenced to two years in a juvenile detention facility.
