The earth has lost a great outdoorsman and true southern gentleman. Benjamin Franklin Noble, III, 79, of Kennesaw died on April 21, 2020. Ben was born July 17, 1940 to Benjamin F. Noble, Jr. and Helen Roberts Noble in Atlanta, GA. Ben is survived by his wife of twenty-six years, Dale Cason Noble, his two sisters, Carole Young of Marietta, GA, and Cathy Noble of Taylorsville, GA; son, Chandler Noble and his wife, Erin of Acworth GA, stepson, Donnie McCall and his wife, Kayce of Greenville, SC, daughters, Kim Noble Brown of Acworth, GA, Stacey Noble Parker and her husband, Sean of Marietta, GA, stepdaughters, Paige McCall Scott and her husband Walter of Birmingham, AL, Polly Cason McCall of Kennesaw, GA; and ten grandchildren. After graduating from Marietta High School and attending the University of Georgia, Ben went to work with his father at Noble Pontiac. Each fall for twelve years, Ben would travel to Montana to work as a hunting guide. After Noble Pontiac, Ben started Noble Land Co., which he pursued until he retired. Ben loved hunting and fishing and sitting in his poolside cookhouse. He also enjoyed working on his crossword puzzles and was passionate about gardening. He had an infectious smile and laugh that lit up the room, and always made you feel welcome and special. Ben’s eyes would sparkle when talking about a hunting or fishing story. Ben’s adventures allowed him to harvest many world-class animals including trophy white-tailed deer, and western game. Ben was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He loved his dogs and you rarely saw him without them. Ben walked with confidence and loved a good joke. He stood firm in his beliefs and knew right from wrong. Due to the coronavirus restrictions, a private memorial service will be held for family only at 11:00 am on Friday, April 24, 2020 at Mayes Ward-Dobbins Funeral Home in Marietta, GA. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Jude and the Humane Society of Cobb County.
