Danny M. "Choo Choo" Noble was born January 21, 1952 in Kaufman, TX to James M and Helen Smith Noble. Danny loved anything that had wheels. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, wagons, he loved them all and could find beauty in even the ugliest ones. He drove the best and the worst and each one was his favorite. He also loved his baseball playing days as a young boy, working at Dan's Vegetable Stand in Blossom, Tx., shooting a game of pool with his friends and last but not least, his coffee buddies at Hawkins and the sweet ladies that took care of him. His love of cars however could never replace the love for his family.
Danny was preceded in death by his parents, niece Tiffaney O'dell and great niece Emersyn Reese Schook. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Marla Smith Noble; daughters, Kelli Noble Collard and Shelli Noble Barron (Samuel Eller); grandchildren, Harley Collard (Tyler Logan), Weston Collard, Camron Barron (Hannah), Jayson Barron (Ashanti), Jaylee Barron, Ty Eller, Autumn Eller (Kevin Rudd); great grandbabies, Tatum Logan, Beau Ray Barron, Kanean Searcy, Nova Barron, Isaac Jeter, Saylor "Soupy" Barron and Xander Rudd; brother, Jimmy Noble (Peggy); sister, Genia Noble Grant (Johnnie); brother- in- law, Tommy Smith; sister- in- law, Tina Smith Penny (Roger); several nieces and nephews; great nieces and nephews as well as aunts, uncles and cousins.
In Lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made in honor of Choo Choo to the Rocky Branch Volunteer Fire Dept., Chambers Hospice or the charity of your choice. The family would like to extend a very special heartfelt thank you to the wonderful staff at Chambers Home Health &Hospice who took wonderful care of him.

We are all going to miss Choo Choo not going to be the same not seeing him at the Rod Runs. Took me awhile to get use to not seeing weird Harold & Dee Dee at the car shows, now we have lost Choo Choo. With them 3 up there in heaven I Know Them 3 are going to be a HOOT.! Love and prayers Marla.
I will never forget when Choo Choo first got to Dangerfield, there were a bunch of us at Jones parking lot, he backed that red Chevy Nova through the glass plate window in Jones store, we hid his car between all of our pickups and they never found out who did it,LOL
Whenever I pass by the old Jones Shopping Center I can still hear the echoes of Choo Choo’s train sounds from almost 50 years ago. Although life took us down different paths Choo Choo always remained a very dear friend of mine. He will be greatly missed by many.
Always loved when they came to the Mena Rod Run. Their smiles and laughter as they reminisced about other shows and adventures was so much fun. Such a joy with them there. ChooChoo will be sorely missed and my heart is with his Marla and family as they go through this sadness. May you all have peace during this time.
To Sweet Marla, my my how many years has Choo-Choo & you along with so many that had so much fun together ard all the street-rodders attended events up in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc, etc, etc? Fond memories were made for these days where we pay our respects for having spent time with dear friends we’ve treasured over the years. Prayers go out to you & yours as we will miss Danny. All our love, friendship, blessings & deepest sympathy in His precious name, the Name of Jesus,🙏✝️️

there was nobody like ChooChoo. i met him and Marla when i went to work at Hawkins. i just loved ’em from then on. i don’t get out much, anymore, but i tried to keep up with how they were doing. i ran into ’em in some store, don’t remember which one, a few months ago. i’m so glad i got to talk to ’em. he was a mess and we all loved him, just like everybody else that ever met him. it breaks my heart that he’s gone. i love ya’ll and we’re praying for ya’ll to be able to get through this the way he woulda wanted you to. remembering with humor and joy all the good times and laughter that he gave ya’ll through your lifetime. this is the end of an era at Hawkins. i love ya’ll!!!
I remember being at Mena with my mom and stepdad, Suzie and Bob Watson at the rod run. Choo Choo had everybody laughing and he probably still is now.
He was such a good person I good husband and father! I remember growing up and him working on his hot rods! You will be truly missed! Rip Choo Choo! Praying for his family!

To Marla and The Immediate and Extended Family of Danny “Choo Choo” Noble with Deepest Regrets and Condolences.
If Finer Human Beings than Marla & Danny Noble ever walked the face of this planet I have yet to meet them…..
Beth and I would see Marla & Danny in Daingerfield every few years when we would go back to Daingerfield for a wedding, reunion or other occasion. We would usually go to Hawkins and visit for an hour or two. Beth and Marla had been friends since their school days in Daingerfield….
It did not matter if it had been weeks, months or years since we had seen them, they were always the same sweet couple that we remembered from decades ago……
Being married for 50 years is a testament to their love for each other and their love for life and family…..
May God Be With You All And Bless You With A Sense Of Peace Now And In The Difficult Days Ahead……
Submitted With Love And The Greatest Respect,…..
