Norman Wayne Macy

Norman Wayne Macy, age 44, of Tulalip, WA, died on Saturday, May 28, 2011. He was born December 3, 1966 in Everett, WA, the son of Berlyn Ray Macy and Joanna Kuiken Barker and lived in South Everett until he graduated from Mariner High School in 1985, then off to his many travels and adventures all up and down the West Coast. After a long illness, "Storm" fought bravely, living a full year after his doctors had given up. He got to see his granddaughter, Maleah, born, something he wasn't sure he would see, and he made it to his 16th anniversary with the love of his life, Jeanette.
Norman resided with his life-long partner, Jeanette, for over 16 years, meeting each other in Lake Wenatchee, WA, and moving to Tulalip, WA in 1997, to reside with his father and help him maintain the property there for many years. Norman worked at many crafts and jobs over the years and was not afraid to try or do anything. He did specialized home remodel projects, worked with his father in the tree topping business, and worked in the Lake Wenatchee area with his father. He was a lover of many things, including children, animals, nature, laughter, and as his nephew, Shaun, said, "he was brilliant at everything". He was a character. He had numerous hobbies and interests, including being outside, his love of nature, creating things out of nothing, and making people feel special. He lived life to the absolute fullest and pushed the limits to the extreme. He loved life and wanted to experience everything. He was truly an inspiration to many people, touched more people in his lifetime than we will probably ever know, was loved, and will be greatly missed in this world.
Norman is survived by his significant other/soul mate, Jeanette Kingery, her daughter, Michelle (Bobby); her son, Robbie (Amanda); his granddaughter, Maleah; his sister, Carole and her son, Shaun; his father, Berlyn; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends too numerous to count.
Preceding him in death was his mother, Joanna; his special aunt, Sadie; his grandpa, Elmo; and other family members much loved and missed.
A memorial service will be held at 1:00 pm, Saturday, June 4, 2011 at Solie Funeral Home, 3301 Colby Avenue, Everett, WA.
