Eulogy for 6-year-old Noah Pozner: Victim of Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting Lovingly Remembered by Uncle Alexis Haller [TRANSCRIPT]

On Friday, December 14 at approximately 9:40 a.m., 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot his way into the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, ultimately killing 20 young students (ages 6-7) and six faculty members. The tragic event has left the nation - and the world - in utter shock and devastation. On Monday, December 17, the uncle of one of the young victims, 6-year-old Noah Pozner, read a tearful and touching eulogy at the child's funeral. Alexis Haller of Woodinville, WA remembers a young boy whose life was devastatingly and unjustly cut short.

"On Friday, Dec. 14, we tragically lost a most beloved member of our family. Noah was a 6-year-old little boy, and he was so dear to all of our hearts.

Words cannot express the unfathomable loss we feel.

Noah was a wonderful son and a loving brother. He was kind, caring, smart, funny, and sometimes even a little mischievous. He liked to tell his sisters that he worked in a taco factory; when they asked him how he got to work, he would give them a funny look as if to say he knew something that they didn't.

Noah was a little kid. He loved animals, video games and Mario Brothers. He was already a very good reader, and had just bought a Ninjago book at a book fair that he was really excited about reading. He was also very excited about going to a birthday party he had been invited to. It was to take place on Saturday, Dec. 15.

Noah loved his family dearly, especially his mom, his dad, his big sisters Danielle and Sophia, his big brother Michael, and his dear twin Arielle. He called Arielle his best friend, and she was - and always had been.

If Noah had not been taken from us, he would have become a great man. He would been a wonderful husband and a loving father. He would have been a backbone of our family for years to come. His loss, and our loss, are deep indeed.

It is unspeakably tragic that none of us can bring Noah back. We would go to the ends of the Earth to do so, but none of us can.

What we can do is carry Noah within us, always. We can remember the joy he brought to us. We can hold his memory close to our hearts. We can treasure him forever. And all of us, including the family, the community, the country and the world, can honor Noah by loving each other and taking care of each other. That's what Noah would have wanted.

Noah, we love you so much, we miss you dearly, and we will never, ever forget you."

Jack Pinto, 6, an avid New York Giants fan and wrestler, was also buried on Monday, Dec. 17. Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz visited Pinto's grieving family, and wrote "Jack Pinto, My Hero" on the young boy's cleats for NY's Sunday afternoon game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Rest in Peace:
