Funeral services for fallen Bexar County Sheriff deputy Noah Calderon held Friday morning

SAN ANTONIO – Noah Calderon, a Bexar County Sheriff’s Office deputy who died in a crash near Corpus Christi last month, will be laid to rest on Friday.

The services for Calderon, who was the youngest deputy ever hired by BCSO, began with a public viewing at the Miracle Center.

A prayer service at the Miracle Center then followed and a procession departed to Mission Park North Cemetery.

There, honors will be rendered. The Mission Park North Cemetery is located at 20900 IH-10 West.

Calderon died alongside his fiancee, Samantha Grace Handy, in a crash on Aug. 12 at Highway 188 and FM 796 between Sinton and Mathis. An 18-wheeler collided with their vehicle, which was also carrying Calderon’s younger brother, who was injured and airlifted to a San Antonio hospital.

The San Patricio County Sheriff’s Office said it appears the 18-wheeler may have failed to yield to a stop sign.

Calderon’s body was returned to San Antonio in an escort later that week.
