Lloyd Kelvin Norman

Following a lengthy battle with Frontotemporal Dementia, it is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Lloyd Norman, age 64 years, on January 26, 2026 at St. Boniface Hospital.

Lloyd will be lovingly remembered by his wife Christie Norman; daughters Janelle (Drake) and Lisa; brothers Keith, Grant, Glen, Clark (Linda); sister-in-law Janice; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

He is predeceased by his parents Leslie and Leah Norman, brother Barry Norman, sisters-in-law Diane and Sue Norman and father-in-law John Thurston.

Lloyd, born in 1961 and raised in Dufresne, Manitoba, was the youngest of six brothers. He lived an energetic, hands-on life marked by hard work, strong family devotion, and deep community involvement. After graduating from Springfield Collegiate in 1980, Lloyd worked a wide range of jobs before building a long career as a service technician for printer and photocopier equipment, most notably with IKON Office Solutions and Canon Canada. He continued working until the progression of Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) forced him to stop in 2021.

Lloyd was passionate about sports and community life. He loved softball—as a player, coach, umpire, and volunteer leader—and later became President of the North East Softball Association, always focused on growing the game at the grassroots level. He also enjoyed curling, golf (especially the annual family “Norman Sewer Tour”), running, and music, with Stompin’ Tom Connors and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ fight song holding special meaning throughout the last six years of his life.

He met the love of his life, Christie, through softball, and they married in 1998, raising two daughters, Janelle and Lisa. Lloyd was a devoted husband and father, actively involved in his daughters’ sports, schooling, and daily life. Known as a “doer,” he was always ready to help, take initiative, and step in wherever needed.

After a double bypass surgery in 2008, Lloyd embraced a healthier lifestyle. His dementia diagnosis in 2021 led to years of gradual decline, which were deeply challenging for his family and friends. Despite his memory loss, music, bingo, visits from loved ones, and time with family pets continued to bring him comfort.

Lloyd is remembered for his enthusiasm, generosity, humour, and unwavering love for his family. He is now at peace, reunited with those who passed before him, and free from the disease that challenged his later years.

A celebration of life will be held for family and close friends at a later date.

The family would like to thank the staff at Oakview Place, Concordia Place 3C, and St. Boniface Hospital 4E for their care of Lloyd.
