He died in a wreck last night. He enriched many lives, brought energy to downtown Jackson, and will be missed by many. No other details are known at this time.
Update: AP just released a story:
"JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Police say the owner of an upscale restaurant in downtown Jackson has been killed in a car crash.
WAPT-TV (http://bit.ly/ohdFVi ) reports that Craig Noone, the owner of Parlor Market, was killed when the Chevrolet Tahoe he was driving collided with a Ford Taurus at the intersection of West and Capitol streets, not far from the restaurant.
Jackson police spokeswoman Colendula Green tells The Associated Press that Noone was killed in the crash that occurred about 1 a.m. Friday.
One passenger was in Noone's vehicle and two people were in the Taurus. Their injuries were not believed to be severe.
Noone opened Parlor Market at 115 W. Capitol St. a little more than a year ago. It focuses on regional and seasonal cuisine."
Update: Press release sent to me a few minutes ago.

Statement on the Passing of Jackson Restaurateur Craig Noone
Craig Noone, chef and owner of Parlor Market Restaurant in Downtown Jackson, passed away on Friday, Oct. 14, 2011. He was 32 years old.
Craig was foremost a very special person and friend, and an extremely talented chef. He had the courage to pursue his dream of opening a restaurant in the heart of Downtown Jackson. Even more, he was an incredibly giving person and touched countless lives with his generosity. He brought great happiness and joy to his family and friends and will be missed by many.
Through Craig’s efforts, Parlor Market, which opened in Sept. 2010, has become one of Mississippi’s premier restaurants. He was a true visionary who saw potential where others didn’t and understood that relationships are the key to the success of any business.
A Jackson native, Craig had a deep love of the city and especially Downtown, and took a keen interest in helping to ensure its revitalization. But most important, Craig was a true friend to all who knew him. While tragic, Craig’s death serves as a testament to the meaning of true friendship, drive, desire and love for those we know.
Parlor Market will be closed through the weekend. Funeral arrangements are pending.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Horrible. Didn't know him on a first name basis but he treated us like he'd known us for years when we went to he place.
The loss of this wonderful young man has broken my heart and many, many others this morning.
Wreck in Jackson or out of town??
No information on CL or WLBT.com...
I knew Craig personally and he will be missed. Great guy. R.I.P my friend
@8:41
Wreck on the corner of West and Capitol I believe.
Pardon my ingornace, but who was Craig Noone?
http://www.wlbt.com/story/15694749/jackson-restaurant-owner-killed-in-2-vehicle-crash
WLBT has uit up now. So sad.
http://www.wapt.com/news/29483237/detail.html
Didn't know the guy, but saw what he was doing downtown and it was very positive. I am certain he will be missed. From the looks of his success, downtown could use more risk-takers like him.
God rest his soul.
And the JFP typo in the title:
Parlor Marker Owner Dies
And credit to WAPT; it is fitting the two of them credit eachother. They both look like milquetoast.
From the C-L:
Police say the owner of an upscale restaurant in downtown Jackson has been killed in a car crash.
Craig Noone, chef and owner of the Parlor Market restaurant in Jackson, was killed in an early morning traffic accident near the Governor’s Mansion.
Noone, 32, was pronounced dead at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, said Colendula Green, spokeswoman for the Jackson Police Department.
Noone was driving eastbound on Capitol Street around 1 a.m. when his Chevy Tahoe collided with a Ford Taurus traveling north on West Street, Green said.
Noone’s vehicle flipped, struck a light pole and knocked down three parking meters before he was ejected from the truck, Green said.
The driver and the sole passenger in the Taurus were not injured, she said.
The accident is still under investigation.
Noone’s death comes less than two weeks after he celebrated the first anniversary of the opening of his upscale dining spot, located at 115 W. Capitol St.
The Jackson native had worked in New Orleans, Italy and Dallas, before returning to his hometown to open his restaurant.
there was no passenger.
One of the nicest guys, and he was having great success at the restaurant.
so sad to hear this, seems like such an unlikely place to
have a fatal auto accident
This news is just awful. Craig sounds like he was a really fine young man with many, many friends.
I am so sorry for his family and friends. M
Now the below has nothing to do with this accident just a reminder to all:
Please everyone drive the speed limit, stay off your cell phone while driving, and please, please always wear your seatbelt.
If you looked up "charter" in the dictionary you would find a picture of Craig, he was cheerful in all weathers.
He loved his friends and his beloved Jackson Academy Raiders were he won the state with them in 95 and 96. RIP #34!
He is also the ALL TIME CAREER HOME RUN KING for the JA Raiders. RIP #34 as a fullback for the 96 State Champions! TD after TD. We couldn'd believe he was interested in Culinary School...Pro wrestling, maybe. Chef...you kidding me?
But just like sports, he attacked, and mastered.
Dear God please look after our sweet, wonderful Craig. We miss you so.
What are you talking about? Just read the story, saw nothing. Put up or I take comment down.
Farewell, buddy.
6:50, really? you choose to be an ass on them vs those on this thread? please. take it elsewhere. a wonderful young man died tragically. this is not the time or place for dribble.
Pippa Jackson
Someone responded to a non-existent posting timed 6:50? "Deleted by administrator" sounds legit; making offensive comments disappear makes people wonder what else disappears here.
Just sayin'.........
As an ex-ER doc I'll only say there was no mention of his seat belt in any of the articles. Hard to get thrown from a vehicle if one is being worn. That's how they prevent tragedies like this. Think about it next time you drive.
I thought the same thing. Seat belts actually prevent ejection. Breaks my heart. Simple. Buckle up. Tragic loss for our city.
I'm So Sorry,to hear of my Step-Brother's Passing,at such a young Age! I agree with the above comments,as to Always wear your Seat Belt,Drive the Speed Limit,Don't Run Red Lights,and Never Talk and Drive,at the same Time.This could of been preventable.My Prayers go out to our Dad,His Mom,and older Brother,and Younger Sister,his neices and nephews,and all of his friends,and Co-Workers! I wish I would have had the opportunity to get to know him and his brother,and sister better.RIP Craig! :(
I did not have the privilege of knowing this young man, but I know he was a visionary. I know he didn't let those who are negative about Jackson or Mississippi deter him from bringing a wildly successful restaurant to downtown. He thought in terms of what could be and what he could do to contribute. He ventured to other places, more exotic places, to hone his talents and brought his dreams for the future home to the place he loved.
We are in such need of young men and women like Craig and the loss to all of us is devastating.
ISt is so incredibiity heartbreakingn to lose such a young, talented peron such as Craig who had so much to bring and offer the Jackson area in terms of a great restaurants where all were welcome that appcreiciated the best that downtown Jackson could offer, and whose visionary ideas for the future can onleney be imagined. Craig had great hopes and dreams of what food and hospitality might have have been become here, and this is coming from people who know him best. A heartbreaking loss for the entire state.
