Noah Jones

Noah Jones is the younger brother of Miles Jones and the third member of a trio of chosen brothers that included Elliot Landry from the time Noah was four years old. Born around 2004, Noah grew up never knowing a time when Elliot wasn't part of his family—Elliot entered the Jones household in 2008 when Noah was four and Elliot was five. This meant that Noah's entire childhood was shaped by watching his parents Candy and Micah model radical hospitality, watching his older brother Miles defend vulnerable people, and learning that chosen family is as real as biological ties.

From early childhood, Noah learned gentle care by example. He watched his mother Candy recognize Elliot's medical needs before they became crises, offering muffins and apple juice proactively. He learned from his father Micah that masculinity could be rooted in gentleness—carrying exhausted children, massaging aching joints, never treating vulnerability as weakness. He watched his brother Miles stand up to bullies, create blanket caves for sensory regulation, and refuse to let anyone hurt Elliot.

Noah absorbed these lessons and made them his own. By age 6-10, he was already Elliot's gentle companion—sharing fruit snacks (always offering the red ones first because those were Elliot's favorite), staying beside Elliot during medical crises, defending him from cruelty without being asked. When Elliot fainted from heatstroke during P.E. class at age 11 and ten-year-old Noah was the one who stayed by his side, talking him through panic when he woke confused and terrified, it was because this was what family did.

Noah saw Elliot not as the "simple" or "slow" person that teachers and adults labeled him, but as someone worth knowing and learning from. Despite Elliot being older and significantly larger—eventually reaching 6'8" and over 350 pounds—Noah never treated him with condescension or pity. He recognized Elliot's kindness, his gentle spirit, and his worth as a person.

During Elliot's COVID-19 hospitalization at age 16-17, Noah supported his brother Miles's desperate flyer campaign and participated in the community rallying to bring Elliot home. The experience of nearly losing their chosen brother shaped all three of them, reinforcing the depth of their bond.

Early Life and Background

Noah was born around 2004 to Candy and Micah Jones in the Montgomery, Alabama area. He was only four years old when Elliot Landry entered their lives in 2008, which meant Noah grew up never knowing a time when Elliot wasn't family. His earliest memories likely include Elliot's presence—a towering, soft-voiced boy who was gentle despite his size, who needed accommodation and care, who belonged with them as much as Miles did.

Noah's childhood was shaped by watching his parents model radical hospitality and chosen family care. He saw his mother Candy provide childcare for Elliot while Jazmine worked, recognize Elliot's medical needs intuitively, teach basic signs when words were hard, and advocate fiercely for vulnerable children. He saw his father Micah carry Elliot when joint pain made walking impossible, massage aching joints, teach that softness was strength.

Noah learned gentle accommodation from toddlerhood—sharing apple juice and muffins without resentment, making space on the couch when Elliot needed to rest, offering the red fruit snacks first because those were Elliot's favorites. He learned from watching Miles stand up to Sean when he hurt Elliot, create blanket caves for sensory regulation, and defend Elliot from neighborhood kids who mocked him.

By age 6-10, Noah had internalized these values completely. When Elliot fainted from heatstroke during P.E. class at age 11, ten-year-old Noah was the one who stayed beside him—terrified as his chosen brother collapsed hard, unable to catch him, but immediately present when Elliot woke confused and panicking. Noah talked him through it, stayed calm, reminded Elliot he was safe—because that's what family does.

Cultural Identity and Heritage

Noah Jones is a Black young man from Montgomery, Alabama, who has never known a world in which Elliot Landry was not his brother. Where Miles chose Elliot as family through the conscious act of a seven-year-old who saw a child being hurt and decided to intervene, Noah's chosen-family bond was formed before conscious memory—sharing red fruit snacks as a toddler, growing up alongside a child whose body and mind were radically different from his own, learning accommodation not as a concept but as the texture of daily life. For Noah, disability was never something to be educated about or sensitized to. It was simply part of the household he grew up in, as unremarkable as his father's AAVE or his mother's cooking or the Montgomery heat.

This early, organic integration of disability into Noah's understanding of the world carries particular cultural significance for a Black child growing up in the Deep South. Black communities have complex, often unspoken relationships with disability—generational patterns of informal caregiving that go unrecognized by formal systems, cultural frameworks that sometimes explain disability through spiritual rather than medical language, the practical reality that Black disabled people face compounded marginalization that their communities absorb without institutional support. Noah grew up in a household that rejected the silence and the shame. Candy and Micah made Elliot's needs visible, speakable, and central to family life, and Noah absorbed this as normal. His gentleness with Elliot—staying with him during a heatstroke crisis at age ten, offering comfort through physical presence—reflects the same ethic of care his parents modeled: that tenderness toward vulnerable people is not weakness but the highest expression of the values his family carries.

Elliot Landry - Chosen Brother

Noah formed a bond with Elliot during their high school years as part of the tight trio with his brother Miles. He looked up to Elliot despite Elliot's struggles, seeing the gentleness and kindness beneath the intimidating size rather than reducing Elliot to labels like "simple" or "slow."

Noah witnessed Elliot's kindness at Piggly Wiggly (giving stickers to children, offering carnations to customers who looked sad), saw how the community loved Elliot, and recognized his worth as a person. He also witnessed the cruelty Elliot faced—the mockery, the dismissal, the fatphobia and ableism—and learned from his brother Miles how to defend someone from that harm.

The three of them became brothers in every way that mattered, bonds forged through presence and loyalty rather than biology. When Elliot was hospitalized with COVID-19 and fighting for his life, Noah likely participated in the community effort to bring him home, learning early what it means to show up for chosen family in crisis.
