Brian S Noel 11/03/1973 – 09/14/2024
The Trinity family suffered a profound loss last month with the passing of Brian Noel at the age of fifty. As the founder of Trinity Consultants’ Environmental Consulting operations in Albany, NY, Brian’s hard work, enthusiasm, and dedication were instrumental in creating a successful team and shaping the Albany Office into what it is today. Brian’s life was marked by impressive accomplishments, both personally and professionally. He was an Eagle Scout, obtained a degree in Chemistry from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Fredonia, and went on to receive a degree in Chemical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). Even before graduation, he began a career at General Electric (GE) that spanned nearly 20 years, where he held various key roles across several GE divisions. Before establishing the Albany office in 2016, Brian was the Americas Air Program Leader for Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), which had purchased the GE Plastics business in 2007. Beyond his professional achievements, Brian had a zest for life and adventure. He was an avid outdoorsman who relished the challenge of descending glacial crevasses in Alaska. His passion for astronomy led him to travel the world and observe numerous solar eclipses. His global responsibilities at GE afforded him the opportunity to travel for business as well, visiting facilities in Latin America, East Asia, and beyond, where he developed a deep appreciation for their cultures and cuisines. He took immense joy in some of the simple things in life, like jamming to his favorite band, the Canadian power-rock trio Rush, and in recent years, he pursued home brewing, honing it to an impressive, advanced level. From the moment Brian joined Trinity, he made a significant impact and quickly became a valuable and respected member of our Trinity family. His consummate team spirit, valuable input, and collaborative expertise were highly valued. In turn, he deeply valued his colleagues as both professional collaborators and as human beings. Brian’s approach to everything he did, attacking life and work rigorously and enthusiastically, left a lasting impression on all of us. His absence is deeply felt, and his legacy will continue to inspire us. Brian will be dearly missed, both professionally and personally. His memory will remain an integral part of the Trinity family, and our thoughts are with his loved ones and colleagues during this difficult time.
