Michael "Mike" Noser, 76, passed away March 23, 2026, in Kalispell of natural causes. Mike was born and raised in Seattle where he enjoyed outdoor and water activities in the ocean and Puget Sound area. In the late 1960s he was drafted and trained as a medic for his enlistment in the US Army. He then worked various shipyard and construction roles in the Seattle area before moving to Libby in the early 1970s.

In Libby, Mike worked in the housing construction field, automobile repair and for 25 years as a property assessor for the state of Montana in Lincoln and adjacent counties. He met and in 1980 married Terrie Solem. Mike’s favorite activities included alpine and water skiing, snow shoeing, boating, hiking and motorcycle riding. Known for his meticulous attention to detail in any personal or professional undertaking, Mike took pride in any project he undertook or his possessions.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Vera Noser, his older brother, William, and twin sister, Patricia. He is survived by his wife, Terrie, and in-laws, nieces and nephews in Montana and Washington.

Following his wishes, no formal services will be conducted. His family will conduct small gatherings honoring his life. In lieu of flowers, donations to David Thompson Search & Rescue are requested in Mike’s remembrance (PO Box 1552 Libby, MT 59923 or via dtsar.org).
