Norman Eugene Steadman

Norman Eugene Steadman was born on May 13th, 1935 to Elmer Elwood Steadman and Lottie Parry Steadman in West Jordan, Utah. He passed away on Monday, April 14th, 2025 surrounded by many loved ones.

Stormin’ Norman, as he was affectionately known by many of his children and grandchildren, was an avid outdoorsman. His love for the outdoors brought him on many fishing, hunting, and travel adventures, including a cross-country trip with his wife Donna on his Yamaha to visit his new grandson in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This was only one of his many trips filled with adventure, service, and most of all… love. He enjoyed the companionship of wonderful friends and family who loved him dearly through these many adventures. Norm was always eager to be of service whether it took him to far away cities, to a family member or neighbor’s garage to work on their car, or to haul something on some long, lonely stretch of highway. A desperate plea for help, remodeling project, or motorcycle re-build was never unanswered and thoughtfully and swiftly completed by this amazing man. Even at 80 years of age, you could find him up in an apricot tree trimming its overgrown branches or fixing the sprinkling system on a neighbor’s yard. Age never kept him from serving others with a smile, and it always ended with a hug and kiss when he was done.

There are no words to describe this quiet man with a great big heart who loved everyone unconditionally and was loved by all who knew him. He was master at the grill no matter how many were gathered. After every meal you would find him at the sink washing the dishes whether at home, at a Bingham Family Christmas party, (which was akin to the feeding of the five-thousand), or at his daughter in law’s house. There was always a grandchild or great- grandchild on his lap or at his feet, and an adult child begging for his advice or in need of his skills. He truly embodied humility and kindness and will be greatly missed.

Norman served proudly in the United States Navy from 1949 to 1951. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was joyfully sealed to his loving parents in the Salt Lake Temple in 1981.

He is preceded in death by his parents Elmer and Lotty Steadman, brothers Douglas and Darrel, and sister Aleen Smith.

He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Donna Steadman and their children Corey Nebeker (Crystal), Sheldon Nebeker (Pam), and Pam Gibbons. Children by previous marriage Michael Steadman, Troy Steadman (Shonna), 22 grandchildren, and 29 great-grandchildren. He has one living sister Colleen Graham (Ron).
