Noble Theo Werner

Noble Theo Werner, Jr.  (73) of Spokane Valley, WA passed away on May 10, 2025, of natural causes.  He was born on August 24, 1951, in Enid, OK to Noble Theo Werner and Iva Levina (Anthis) Werner; while on a family trip. He had four older sisters - Jewell Dean, Rose Marie, Mary Ann and SharonLee.  They settled in the Spokane valley where he attended Spokane area Seventh Day Adventist schools and graduated from Spokane Community College in 1976.  He enlisted in the Army and served with the 585th Engineer Company in Vietnam. 

He married Linda (Ricke) Werner, and together with their sons’ Noble and Charles Werner, they built a life together for 44 years, becoming re-acquainted with distant relatives and making cherished friends along the way.  He was a carpenter and had a hand at building homes and businesses in southern Idaho, North Dakota and the Pacific Northwest.

Noble was an avid Seahawks fan.  He stuck with them through thick and thin.  He also enjoyed classic movies, classic cars, motorcycling, horseback riding and hunting, but his favorite past time was spending time with his grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife Linda, sons Noble (Kristen) Werner III, Charles (Ashley) Werner and daughter Trisha Lee (Werner) Link from previous spouse, Debra Holloway (deceased). Also three sisters,  Jewell Dean Herbrandson Stokes, MaryAnn Lyons and SharonLee Nicholson, 13 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.  He was predeceased by his parents, his sister Rose Marie Borchers and step-son Lee (Ricke) Martwick.

He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He will be sorely missed. Until we meet again.
