Brian F. Noel

He leaves behind his loving wife Debbie of 29 yrs., his brothers, Bruce, Norman, and Don; 9 nieces and nephews; many grand nieces and nephews, two God children, and many friends.

Brian started at the early age of 12 delivering newspapers. After graduating from Hialeah High School in 1965 he joined the Coast Guard and subsequently graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Wildlife and Forestry. Brian became General Manager of Voyager Marine making unique marine hardware. While at Voyager he developed a patented “hasp hinge”. Brian went on to form “Brian’s Patio” and it became a landmark on US1 in Stuart for 23 years.

Brian loved fishing and the outdoors and had his first wooden canoe at 14. Brian was like a fish underwater and could hold his breath up to three minutes. He often caught Florida lobsters barehanded. Brian traveled throughout the US and Canada with his wife in his RV for 9 weeks every year for over 25 years. Together, they loved and enjoyed the outdoors having visited many National Parks. Brian was a very giving person and believed in paying it forward and helping people on a daily basis. Brian loved animals and often nursed injured birds and animals back to health and releasing them back to nature.

A funeral service will be held at Aycock Funeral Home Young and Prill Chapel, 6801 SE Federal Highway in Stuart at 12:00 Noon, Monday January 16, 2017 with a celebration of life to follow.

Even in death Brian is paying it forward. He has donated his body to the University of Miami Health System for ALS research. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Treasure Coast Hospice or Martin County ALS resource support group foundation. Please visit Brian’s online guestbook at www.youngandprill.com.
