Paul Noble, a devoted father, son, and brother, passed away on August 21, 2025, at the age of 59.

Born May 7, 1966, in Hawkesbury, Ontario, to John and Gladys Noble, Paul grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago. He graduated from Elmhurst College, where he played football and walked onto the baseball team – a testament to his determination and competitive drive.

Paul built a successful career as a Sales Executive, working with a variety of companies in the manufacturing industry. He was respected for his drive, dedication, straight-forward manner, and his ability to get things done.

Outside of work, Paul enjoyed golfing, afternoon Harley rides, and spending time on the slopes skiing. He also dedicated time to coaching William’s youth football and baseball teams, as well as Abe’s youth baseball teams. Coaching gave him a way to share his love of sports. His style was often direct with a competitive spirit, and always fueled by a deep desire to see his boys and their teammates succeed.

Above all, Paul’s pride in his sons was evident and ran deep, though not one for sentimental words or displays of affection. His sharp sarcasm and quick wit were a hallmark of his personality, which along with his strong will and enduring presence will be remembered by those who loved him.

He is survived by his two sons, William Noble and Abe Noble; his father, John G. Noble; his brother, Kevin Noble (Julie Noble); and his sisters, Susan Noble and Lisa Noble. He was preceded in death by his mother, Gladys Noble, in 2020.

A Celebration of Life will be forthcoming. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Paul’s memory to Colorectal Cancer Alliance, colorectalcancer.org
