Norman Dean Clyde, a resident of Tucson, Arizona, born on August 20, 1930, in Springville, UT, passed away on September 23, 2024. Norman lived a life characterized by dedication, conscientiousness, intelligence, and inspiration. He was a devout man whose life was grounded in his faith, his commitment to his beloved wife of 71 years, Phyllis, his family, and the values he held dear.

Norman was a smart and dedicated civil engineer who retired from W.W. Clyde Co. in 1996. His hard work and reliability made him a cornerstone of his profession. He was honored as the University of Utah's top engineering student the year he graduated, a testament to his intelligence and dedication. Norman's inspiring career spanned several decades and he brought his commitment to excellence to every project he undertook. In retirement, he found joy in hobbies like skiing and making candy, a delight he often shared with those around him.

Norman was a pillar of his community, serving as a Missionary, Bishop, Stake President, and Mission President within his church. His previous residences included Springville, Utah, and Provo Canyon, Utah, before settling in Tucson, Arizona. He is survived by his son, Lance Clyde, and his daughter, Cheryl DuBose, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Norman was preceded in death by his wife, Phyllis Clyde, his daughter, Tawna Smith, and his parents, Edward and Hannah Clyde.

A viewing will be held on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at 11:00 am MDT at Tanque Verde Ward, 9541 East Snyder Rd, Tucson, Arizona. Funeral services will follow at 12:00 pm MDT at the same location. We invite all who knew and loved Norman to attend and celebrate his remarkable life.

Norman and Phyllis were a significant influence on my young life. Up to the age of 9 when my family moved to Salt Lake, my best friend and second cousin was Tawna, and because of that, I spent time at the Clyde home. Both Norman and Phyllis were always kind to me and I loved being in their home. They have left a wonderful legacy.
