Beavers Wrestling Alum Ken Noteboom Passed Away

CORVALLIS It is with a heavy heart that we pass along this information to all of you that former Beavers wrestler Ken Noteboom, a 1959 Oregon State University graduate, passed away at his home in Junction City in late June.

Noteboom was a four-year wrestling lettermen for the Beavers and an avid supporter for the OSU wrestling program. In 2013 he was presented with the Martin Chaves Lifetime Achievement Award at Oregon State University. Noteboom graduated as the president of his senior class, and created and co-chaired a Blue Ribbon Committee designed to ensure the perpetuity of the storied 103-year-old Beaver wrestling program.

Noteboom also organized class reunions for 45 years, and co-chaired the Class of 1959 Golden Jubilee Committee that raised funds for the CH2M HILL Alumni Center labyrinth highlighting key OSU events, plus an endowed scholarship: the first class to make two 50th reunion gifts.

A retired banker, Marine, and former president of the Albany and Junction City Chambers of Commerce and the Albany Boys and Girls Club, Ken lived near Junction City, OR.
