It is with heavy hearts that we ask everyone to please keep the family of our dear 6:20 Fitness member, Noel Lomax, in your prayers. Last night, Lomax tragically lost his life in a head-on collision after another vehicle crossed the median and struck his car.
If you knew Lomax, you knew he was one of the greatest guys you could ever meet. He always had a smile on his face, encouraged everyone around him, and truly treated everyone at 6:20 Fitness like family. His kindness, friendship, and presence meant so much to all of us.
This is a heartbreaking reminder to never take a single day for granted and to always hold your friends and family close.
Lomax, you will be deeply missed by everyone at 6:20 Fitness. You were an incredible person, a great friend, and a brother to so many of us.
Love you brother. ❤️
