Allen Kenneth Noble, 65, of Austin, Minnesota, became an Angel on Wednesday, July 6, 2016, at his home after a long hard battle with cancer.

Allen was born on Sept. 28, 1950, to Kenneth and Louise (Allen) Noble of Sparta, Wisconsin. He attended school in Sparta. In 1967, Allen entered military service in the United States Army. During his military duty he served in Germany, and in Vietnam from 1969 until his honorable discharge 1971. Allen was a proud veteran. After his two tours of service, Allen met and married Sandy Stephen. Together they raised one child, Teresa, born May 2, 1975.  They later divorced. Allen spent much of his time with his daughter Teresa, son-in-law Bob, his four granddaughters: Samantha Bahl 23, Katelin Bahl 18, Lily Halvorson 7, and Elly Halvorson, 7. All 5 of his girls meant the world to him. He also enjoyed his cribbage games with his buddies Johnson and Doc, his rides to the casino in his 1967 Chevy Impala convertible and helping anyone who needed it.
