19 Year Old Michigan Kid Celebrates 1st Birthday After 17 Years Living Off The Grid

BROOKLYN, MI – Dec. 10, 1993 is just another date on a calendar to most of us, but to Noah Boyce, 19, of Brooklyn, Mich. it’s a very special day.

It’s his birthday – one he didn't know he had until he was 18 years old.

“It was pretty awesome to have a birthday,” Noah said. “I didn’t know what to expect, but people started giving me presents and birthday cards.”

Besides not having a birthday, Noah had no birth certificate and no Social Security number. There are no records that show he ever went to a doctor or dentist, received any immunizations or attended a public school as a child.

As far as government documents go, Noah didn’t exist.
