Dr James M. Noble, loving Husband, Father, Grandpa, Son and Brother, passed away peacefully at home after a courageous battle with leukemia.
Born in Wilcox, AZ in 1954 to David and LaRue Noble and raised in Tempe, AZ. Jim graduated from McClintock High School, ASU and Baylor University Dental School, having practiced dentistry in Tempe for over 36 years. He was so loved by patients and staff.
Jim had a great love of the outdoors, particularly the beautiful White Mountains of Alpine, AZ, spending cherished time there with generations of family over the years.
Jim’s passion for flying led him to fly his own plane over miles of breathtaking Arizona terrain.
A devoted ASU Baseball fan, he rarely missed a home game.
His family instilled a love of music that lasted a lifetime, playing tuba in his High School’s Marching Band and singing in the church choir until just recently.
As a young man, Jim served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Rome, Italy.
Jim’s greatest love was his family and is survived by his wife, Sarah. He was previously married to Jeannine and together they have 6 wonderful children, Joshua, Samuel (Rebecca), Nicole (Randy), Ryan, Jeffery and John David (deceased). 4 loving stepchildren, Brandt, Loren (Lauren), Michael, Meredith, 7 sweet grandchildren and many beloved siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews and Aunts.
