South Lyon boy, 5, dies after early Christmas

Noah Biorkman, the 5-year-old who received more than 1 million Christmas cards from around the world when it became apparent he wouldn't live until Christmas, died Monday of stage IV neuroblastoma in his home in South Lyon.

Noah was diagnosed in February 2007 and went into remission six months later, according to his Web site, www.carepages.com/carepages/NoahScottBiorkman/. In September 2008, he relapsed.

The effervescent child -- who charmed doctors and nurses at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor, where he got much of his treatment -- enjoyed Matchbox cars and Thomas the Tank Engine, Kedrin Gall, Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan's development director, said Monday.

• DISCUSS: Did you send a card to Noah?

The year he was diagnosed, the organization granted Noah's wish for a trip to Disneyland.

Noah is survived by his parents, Scott and Diana Biorkman. The funeral will be for family only.

Memorial contributions may be sent to Noah's Pediatric Oncology Fund, Department of Pediatrics and Oncology, U-M, 1500 E. Medical Center, D4202MPB, Ann Arbor 48109, or to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan, 230 Huron View, Ann Arbor 48103.
