Glen Burnie Community Grieves the Tragic Loss of Noah Tabor Blackstone, 20, in Motorcycle Accident

GLEN BURNIE, MD — October 13, 2025 — A profound wave of sorrow has swept through the Glen Burnie community following the tragic and untimely death of Noah Tabor Blackstone, a 20-year-old whose vibrant spirit, kind heart, and deep sense of purpose touched the lives of many.

Noah lost his life in a devastating motorcycle accident earlier this week, an incident that has left his family, friends, and neighbors grappling with grief and disbelief. According to the Anne Arundel County Police Department, Noah was riding his motorcycle near the intersection of Solley Road and Nabbs Creek Road when he lost control and struck a tree. Despite immediate emergency response, the injuries sustained in the collision were fatal.

The community is left mourning a life that, though tragically cut short, was one of great promise, strength, and love.

A Life Full of Promise and Passion

Noah Tabor Blackstone was not only known for his love of motorcycles and the open road but for his genuine warmth, steady presence, and compassionate nature. He had an adventurous spirit that was matched by a kind and thoughtful soul — a rare combination that made him unforgettable to all who knew him.

“He had the heart of a lion and the soul of an old friend,” said Jordan Willis, one of Noah’s close friends. “You always felt safe with Noah. Whether you were stranded, going through something hard, or just needed someone to talk to — he was there. No questions asked.”

A graduate of North County High School, Noah was passionate about mechanics, engineering, and design, and had recently begun an apprenticeship in motorcycle repair, combining his love for bikes with his talent for hands-on work. He dreamed of opening his own repair and custom shop someday, and he spent countless weekends working on bikes in the family garage with his father.

A Heartfelt Impact on His Community

Noah’s death has sent shockwaves through Glen Burnie and beyond. Friends have flooded social media with photos, memories, and tributes, painting a picture of a young man who lived life with intention, humility, and gratitude. From lending a helping hand to a stranger to mentoring younger kids in his neighborhood, Noah led with empathy and kindness.

His mother, Amanda Blackstone, described him as “the heartbeat of our family.”

“Noah had a laugh that could fill a room, and a mind that never stopped dreaming. But more than anything, he had a heart for people. He gave love freely and received it deeply. Our world will never be the same without him.”

In addition to his parents, Noah leaves behind two younger siblings who adored him, a close-knit group of childhood friends, and extended family who lovingly referred to him as “the glue” that held their circle together.

Community Response and Support

In the wake of Noah’s death, a GoFundMe campaign has been established to help the family with funeral expenses and to support a memorial scholarship in his name. The scholarship will focus on providing financial assistance to local students pursuing careers in the trades — a tribute to Noah’s own goals and values.

A candlelight vigil is scheduled for Saturday evening at Sawmill Creek Park, where the community will gather to honor his memory, share stories, and celebrate the impact he made in such a short time. Friends plan to ride in a motorcycle procession in his honor — a final ride to remember the young man who found freedom and joy on two wheels.

A Legacy of Light and Love

Though Noah Tabor Blackstone’s journey ended far too soon, his legacy lives on — in the laughter of his friends, the strength of his family, and the memories shared by all who were blessed to know him.

“Noah was the kind of person who left a mark — not loud or flashy, but meaningful,” said Pastor Elijah Greene, who will be officiating his memorial service. “He lived from the heart, and that is what people will remember. The love, the loyalty, and the light he carried.”

Rest in peace, Noah Tabor Blackstone

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. Ride free, forever.
