Norman Balderrama Obituary

Visit the Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home website to view the full obituary.

Norman Victor Balderrama, age 70, of Phoenix, Arizona, passed away peacefully on October 16th, 2025 surrounded by his loving family.

Born on October 25th,1954 in Phoenix, Norman was a devoted Husband, proud Father, and cherished Grandfather. He is survived by his beloved wife of 52 years Norma, his three sons Adrian, Andrew and Gregg, and his 7 grandchildren, who brought him endless joy and laughter.

Norman will be remembered for his generosity, quick wit, and one-of-a-kind sense of humor. Whether he was in the kitchen cooking or attending his grandchildren's activities, Norman was always the life of the party. He was a tireless man for others and often spent much of his free time supporting his friends and family in any capacity needed.

He dedicated much of his life to a banking career that spanned over 50 years. During his time as a banker he developed many close and long-term friendships that he was particularly proud of over the years. In retirement, he found a renewed passion for traveling, being an active grandfather, and taking care of his beloved dog Bella.

A Mass will be held in his remembrance on Friday, November 7th 2025 at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to any Valley Boys & Girls Club or to St. Francis Xavier Elementary School located at 4715 N. Central Ave. Phoenix, Arizona 85012.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by those who were fortunate to know him.
