Amazing husband, best friend, father, son, coach, mentor, leader, entertainer, jokester, prankster, smiler, laugher, kind lover of people, impact maker, legacy creator, lover of life… Norm Stapleton 💕 Anyone could go on forever and ever talking about all his amazing qualities, but one thing thats for sure is anyone who ever knew or was around Norm will carry on his amazing (and most of the time inappropriate) and funny qualities that he always left everywhere like glitter (you know, the kind that you keep finding days later? 😂) because that’s the kind of guy he was, he stuck with you through thick and thin and was always there for you no matter what the cost.
Norm always had incredible words of wisdom to share with you, a trick to show you, a joke to tell, a quote to add perfectly to a moment, or...you couldn't find him and then he scared you and was laughing with you about it! Needless to say he is already so missed by 1000s of people that he impacted directly and indirectly, but his legacy will live on through all of us. Norm lives on through his wonderful family: Loving wife of 14 years married, 19 years together, love of his life, Natalie Stapleton. Amazing children, Norman IV (20), Matthew (13) and Lena (10). Loving mother, Beverly Paschen, caring sisters Farrah Stapleton, Catherine Hayes, Christina Hayes Boggs, and Mandy Hayes. Father, Norman Jr, and brother Michael Stapleton. Also 2 amazing Grandmothers, Betty Ecret and Elsie Stapleton.
Thank you to everyone who has been and will be posting amazing memories and qualities of Norm, it has touched our family tremendously as his spirit will continue to forever. Thank you to everyone for all the love and prayers and support. And just remember..."It's people like you, that make people like me, people like you!"
