Curtis Noble Obituary, Death – We are writing to inform you that Curtis Noble passed away suddenly earlier today. Our hearts are heavy as we share this news with you. Since 2018, Executive Vice President Noble has served on the Executive Board of the Alberta Professional Fire Fighters & Paramedics Association. In this capacity, he has been an essential contributor to the association’s efforts to enhance the quality of life for a significant number of individuals. His leadership, which was distinguished by his dedication and passion, was responsible for a significant number of advancements that were made for workers, firefighters, and other first responders in Alberta and Canada.
Curtis was an advocate for the removal of stigma associated with first responders seeking help for mental health issues, as well as for the mental health supports that are currently available.
He was the primary mover and shaker behind many of the developments that resulted in the expansion of cancer coverage for firefighters and the families of those firefighters. Because of his approach and work in the political forum, the APFFPA was able to engage decision-makers and ensure that the health, safety, rights, and entitlements of our members were understood and supported. This was made possible by the fact that we were able to ensure that they were engaged. By ensuring that the APFFPA was able to successfully engage decision-makers, this was made possible. We developed as individuals as a result of Curtis’s guidance.
Medicine Hat was home to Curtis’s career as a firefighter for Local 263, which he held for many years. Not only was he happy to serve his community as a Qualified Officer, but he also was happy to serve as a leader in the IAFF. Both of these things made him very happy.
Our deepest sympathies go out to Curtis’ loved ones, including his family and friends, as well as all of his brothers and sisters in the Medicine Hat Firefighters family. There are going to be a lot of people who can’t function normally without him.
I am thankful to you, Curtis, for everything you’ve done to assist other people in their time of need. You have made things better for all of us, and you will be remembered for the positive impact that you had on our organization as well as the lasting impression that you made during your time here.
