July 24th, 1949 - October 20th, 2025

Bandon, Oregon-Kenneth "Nipper" Noble, a man who lived his life to the fullest, was born in California on July 24, 1949 and passed away on October 20, 2025, in Bandon, Oregon after a three-month illness that was eventually diagnosed as cancer.

Nipper spent over 40 years in Utah and resided in Wayne County (Teasdale), Utah for the last 15 years of his life. He had just recently moved to Bandon to spend more time doing what he loved most, kite surfing on a beautiful lake beside the Oregon coast with friends he had made there over many previous summer visits.

Upon graduating from high school in Costa Mesa, California, Nipper enlisted and spent two years serving in the U.S. Navy. After his time in the navy, he moved to Park City, Utah, where he worked for many years in hospitality and food services as well as in the construction industry. He was an avid skier and a member of the ski patrol. He also enjoyed other outdoor activities that included hiking and horseback riding with his wife Dana and wind surfing in Mexico with friends from Park City.

Nipper is survived by his wife, Dana Landale of Park City, and his sister Beverly Vandercook and her husband Jon of Los Angeles. At the time of his death he had three precious pets, a dog named Zepher who was immediately adopted by a friend in Bandon, and his cats Stubby and Cosmo, who were brought back to Wayne County and are up for adoption at the Color Country Animal Shelter (CCAW) in Torrey. He had adopted both cats from CCAW, where he volunteered and was devoted to the animals in his care.

Nipper will be missed by his family and all his friends in Wayne County, Park City, Mexico and Oregon. Those who knew him well will remember him as a good-hearted man who was witty, cheerful, and always ready to lend a helping hand. A memorial will be held next year in Park City to celebrate his life.
