Massachusetts 17-year-old teen dies doing what he loved; killed in dirt bike crash
A Massachusetts teen has died doing what his family says he loved to do.
According to several accounts, 17-year-old Noah DuPont of Rutland was participating in the Southwick 1 GP J Day Off Road event Sunday when, while racing, lost control of his dirt bike and passed away at the scene.
According to Noah’s Aunt, his enthusiasm for racing was infectious and he lived life at full throttle.
“Whether he was tearing up the track or simply discussing the intricacies of his beloved machines, his eyes sparkled with excitement that was contagious to all around him.”
Family says that while Noah’s time on earth was far too brief, “his legacy will endure through the countless memories he created and the lives he touched. His spirit will continue to inspire us to embrace life with the same fervor and fearlessness that he exhibited every time he revved his engine and soared down the track.”
Services have not yet been announced.
