March 31, 1940-January 18, 2021
William "Bill" F. Noonan, 80, passed away on January 18, 2021 surrounded by family and friends. Bill was a loving Husband, Father, Grandfather and a good friend to many.
Bill was born in Iowa City, IA on March 31, 1940 and grew up in Davenport, IA. He attended Saint Ambrose High school where he was an All-State scholar athlete. Bill accepted a scholarship to play basketball at the University of Notre Dame, was a member of the Monogram Club, and graduated with a degree in Economics in 1961. He married his first wife, Mary Traver, in 1963 with whom he had four children. They moved from Davenport, IA in 1968 to Anaheim, CA where he worked in the car business. Bill enjoyed attending Angels and Lakers games whenever possible. As a family, going to the beach was a favorite pastime.
In 1975, Bill and his family settled in CO where he made his home. In 1992, Bill married the love of his life Celia Jo (CJ). They loved dancing, traveling, and socializing with friends. Bill retired from Rickenbaugh Cadillac in 2008 with over 50 years in the automobile industry. Bill enjoyed fishing, golfing, and was an avid sports fan. He loved watching Notre Dame and all the Denver sports teams. His favorite places included Notre Dame, the California coast, Breckenridge, CO and Mexico. Bill was a true Irishman and never missed a St. Patrick's Day celebration.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Laverne Noonan and his younger brother, Richard. He is survived by his wife, CJ of Centennial, CO, his brother Karl (Grace) Noonan of Stanley, NC and his sister Nancy Noonan of Atlanta, GA. Bill is also survived by his children Kathryn (David) Forgach of Tucson, AZ, Bridget (Todd) Bandy of Lenexa, KS, Jeffrey (Tamara) Noonan of Madison, CT, Jennifer Kelly of Fort Collins, CO; 10 grandchildren Drew, Emily, Erin, Nick, Allie, Libbie, Garrett, Catie, Connor and Megan as well as 3 great grandchildren.

Hi Cindy,
Thank you for your kind message, I remember you from Rickenbaugh over the years. Dad struggled with COPD and it finally took its toll, so I am sure he is watching over us and appreciates your kind words. I am sorry you had to find out on-line.

CJ, Nancy and Carl, I am so sorry for your loss. I haven’t seen you in years. Tuesday we buried Bud. I remember when Paul would come to visit, the snoring shook the house. Laurie died in 1987 on the 4th of July and we buried Dad on the fourth. I hope you find joy in remembering your husband and brother.

William was my first cousin & we did get to visit his family in Colorado, which they opened their home to us. I Also babysat Kathy & the twins ( they were babies) when Bridget had surgery, when they lived in Davenport. He was such a kind, compassionate, & fun man. Love & prayers to the family,
