Arizona House Speaker Steve Montenegro today announced the passing of former State Representative Noel Campbell, who served Legislative District 1 from 2015 to 2021.
“Noel Campbell lived a life defined by service,” Speaker Montenegro said. “He served his country in uniform, protected our communities in the air and on the ground, and brought that same sense of duty to the Arizona House. Our state is better because he chose to serve. Our prayers are with Noel’s wife, Mary Beth, his family, and all who were fortunate to know him. He will be remembered with respect and gratitude.”
Campbell served three terms in the Arizona House during the 52nd, 53rd, and 54th Legislatures. He chaired the House Transportation Committee during the 53rd and 54th Legislatures, where he was known for his practical approach, steady leadership, and respect for the legislative process.
Before his time in the Legislature, Campbell served as a United States Navy combat aviator during the Vietnam War and later retired as a Commander in the Naval Reserves. He continued his federal service as a pilot and agent with the United States Customs Service and later served as a wildfire pilot for the United States Forest Service.
Both of LD1’s current Representatives offered remarks honoring Noel Campbell’s legacy. Rep Selina Bliss said “Noel Campbell was a champion for Legislative District 1 and for the state of Arizona. He served with honor and cared deeply about the people he represented. God bless him, and rest in peace.” Rep Quang Nguyen referred to former Rep. Campbell as a mentor and friend.
