Gage Don Michael Nolen

Age 16

Borger, Texas

A bullet hit both. One died.

He was excited to be Daxtyn’s uncle. Maybe he would take him fishing on the lake, something he loved to do. He would definitely want to take him hunting, another of his favorite outdoor activities.

He was a lifetime resident of Borger, Texas. At Borger High School he was a football and track and field star.

On June 5, 2018, Gage Don Michael Nolen, 16, was in a park with his friend when a single gunshot struck both of them. He was pronounced dead at Golden Plains Community Hospital. Only Nolen died.
