Norman was born in Lehi, Utah to Sterling P. and Ellen Butterfield. He was raised in Midvale and graduated from Jordan High in 1956. He loved the country life in Riverton and spent time with cousins milking cows and learning to swim in the Jordan river below the farm on Tithing Yard Hill. As a teen he spent time with his friends cruising State in their hot cars. He loved his 56 Chev.

Norman was an Eagle Scout and went to the World Scout Jamboree in California in 1953.

He was proud of his work ethic and worked at Kennecott (off and on), as a skilled carpenter for Jack Mckee and Jim Campbell. He was a salesman for Bona Allen Saddles, Eutectic Welding Rods, Tom Nunley’s Used Cars, LaPoint Ford, where he retired. Norman enjoyed working for Allied Dev. behind the gun counter in both Murray and Sandy Stores. After he retired, he went to work for Cal Ranch in West Jordan, again behind the gun counter, retiring again last spring.

Norman was a bull rider and loved rodeo. He loved hunting and fishing. He was instrumental with his cousin Rod of introducing his sons, nieces and nephews and many friends to the sport of trap shooting.

Norman is survived by LeAnne Pitcher, his wife of almost 60 years, two sons, S. Clint (Tricia), N. Kevin (Stephannie), a granddaughter Brandee Leigh Stouder (Jason) and two great granddaughters Bristol Hope and Emberly Autumn and two brothers Grant P (Liz) and Craig F.

He was preceded in death by a son (stillborn), his parents, brother Blaine O. (Pam), sister Lola and many cousins who were important in his life.

Norman was so proud of the fine men his sons have become and he reveled in their accomplishments and those of all his nieces and nephews.

There will be no services, as Norman’s wishes were that his body be donated to the U of U Body Donor program. He will be cremated. A Celebration Of Life will be held at a later date.
