Christopher M Noel

Christopher Michael Noel was born on February 12, 1995, in Durand, Wisconsin, to David and Nicky Noel. Chris died unexpectedly in a car accident on January 11, 2025, at the age of 29. He grew up and spent his entire life in Pepin, Wisconsin, a community he loved deeply. Chris was known for his selflessness, unwavering kindness, and willingness to drop everything to help anyone needing a hand. His generous spirit and love for others left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
At a young age, Chris discovered his passion for farming. He loved spending time watching, learning, and working alongside neighboring farmers. Fields, barns, and milking parlors were where his love and deep connection to agriculture began. As he grew older, Chris worked with Komisar Farms and R Green Acres, where he not only honed his skills, but also gained extended families as a result. Later, he achieved his dream job as a Field Salesman at Lindstrom Equipment. This role not only allowed him to pursue his passion, but gave him the opportunity to form countless, meaningful relationships that enriched his life, and the lives of those around him.
Chris found complete joy in the outdoors. He would often be found hunting and trapping in Hicks Valley. Lake Pepin was another favorite where he enjoyed boating, fishing, and wakeboarding with his closest friends. He also loved snowmobiling, golfing, and tinkering with his equipment. Chris had a desire to travel. He experienced countless travel opportunities all over the country. Clearwater Beach, Florida, however, held a special place in his heart where he would often seek peace and relaxation. Whether surrounded by family, friends, or his beloved golden retriever, Duke, Chris cherished every moment shared with the people and places he loved most.
Chris was a selfless, kind soul with a tremendous heart. He brought immense joy to everyone who knew him. Deeply loved by all, his impact on our lives will be forever felt and cherished.
Chris is survived by his parents, David and Nicky Noel; sister, Julie (Alex) Carlson; nieces, Eleanor Carlson and Aida Carlson; nephew, Clyde Carlson, and grandparents, Mike and Natalie Fleming.
