Willard Noel Jr. Obituary
Willard Leon Noel Jr., 65, of Indianapolis, IN passed away peacefully at Community Hospital North surrounded by his family on February 24, 2023, following a long battle with lung disease.
He is survived by his wife, Monika (Walraven) Noel; his mother, Christina Means; sons, Daniel (Selina Minardo) Noel and Charlie (Stephanie) Noel; grandchildren, Nevaeh and Carter Noel; brother, Wade Means; sister, Tina (Roy) Hamilton; father-in-law, James L. Walraven; and several aunts and cousins.
Will retired from Ford Motor Company. He previously worked for Lesley Seal Coating and served in the United States Army. He was a graduate of Tech High School.
He enjoyed bowling, fishing, wood crafting, DIY projects, spending time at the ‘Lake’ and the ‘Farm’ and being the most entertaining character at any given moment. His greatest joy in life was the time spent with his grandchildren and the love he felt for them.
Per his request, there will be no services.
Special thank you to the Turpin family for the tremendous amount of support and the Community Hospital Hospice Group – especially his caretakers Lauren Furr and Kimble Johnson and his family physician, Dr. Charles Platz.
Our loved one is finally at peace and may he be soaring amongst our other Angels!

Monika, all family members, and best friend Donnie. We've lost a great guy. As has been mentioned Will was always the most entertaining character at any given moment. Having known him for over 50 years he always embrace me and my brothers. You'll always be in our thoughts and prayers....and I personally Will, I'll keep your laughter in my heart.
Love and miss you my Friend.
