Mike was born July 13, 1950, the son of Charles Noble and Mary Boyce Noble, in Des Moines, Iowa. He graduated from North High School in 1969. As a high school student, he excelled in wrestling.

He also took classes late at The University of Kansas. He was a teacher in the Kansas City, Missouri School District and substituted in several local schools. Later he sold real estate.
As a youth, Mike spent his summers at his grandparent’s farm near Seymour, Iowa. He had many fond memories of his grandmother and the time he spent on the farm. He also enjoyed working as a farm hand on a neighboring farm and fishing with his cousins. Among his hobbies were running, bicycling, hunting, and fishing.
Mike is survived by a daughter, Kathryn A. Noble, of Lawrence; a sister, Patricia (Patty) Dunham, a nephew, Tyler Palmer, and a niece, Lindsey Palmer, all of Stockton, California; and several uncles, aunts, and cousins in Iowa. He was preceded in death by both parents.
