Samuel D. Noble, much beloved son of Deborah Noble, of both Charlton, MA and Simsbury, CT, born on Nov. 8, 1993, passed peacefully from this life on October 16, 2020 after a brief illness.
He leaves his mother Deborah Noble, Deborah’s husband Alfred Theodore, Jr., his bubby, Barbara Arens, sister Leah Abraham and her partner Andrew Casarsa, brother Brian Noble and sister in law Chrissy Kane, brother in law Arun Abraham, nephews Ethan Abraham, Caleb DeGray and Owen Noble, aunt and uncle, James and Wendy D’onofrio, cousins Sean and Connor D’onofrio, dearest friends Mallory Spencer and Matt Zukowski, Artem Kay and Natalia Shulyaeva and “his boys” as he liked to call them: Ben, Robbie and Ethan. Sam was predeceased by his grandfather Martin L. Arens Jr. and his father Richard L. Morse, Jr.
The family wishes to thank all Sam’s friends and has co-workers at Carousel Industries for their love and support. It meant so much during this difficult year. Also, the Overlook VNA and Hospice who provided excellent, loving care for Sam in his last months.
Sam loved his family, his friends, music, cooking, good food and sports! He had his favorite teams but enjoyed just about any sports competition. He and his Bubby shared this passion and spent many happy hours watching games together and texting each other about them when they were apart.
Sam had a wonderful sense of humor and a quick wit. His nephew Ethan often made him laugh out loud. Sam loved all his nephews and was eternally grateful to Leah, Arun, Brian and Chrissy for bringing them into his life.
Though the last few months were a challenge, at the end Sam made the tough decision to live his life on his own terms and for that reason he had some peace at the end. His mother will miss him dearly as he was the greatest joy in her life. He was always (and will always be) her “Shorty” even when he towered a foot over her.
During Sam’s last few weeks there were many festive, happy gatherings with family and friends at which Sam was an active participant. For that, his mother is very grateful. Because of these celebrations with Sam before his passing, there will be no services at this time, but we will plan a Celebration of Life at future date to be announced.
Remember Sam as he was, with a smile and a good beverage, because that’s what he would have wanted. Life is for living, because each moment is precious. Live it with love and joy and enthusiasm. Treat each other with kindness and empathy. Keep his memory alive by doing that every day. Don’t worry about the little things. It’s the time that matters most, so use it wisely.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Sam’s memory may be made to: Second Chance Animal Services, 111 Young Rd., P.O.Box 136 East Brookfield, MA. 01515
The Robert J. Miller-Charlton Funeral Home, 175 Old Worcester Rd.is assisting Sam’s family with arrangements.
