On September 10, 2025, Larry Norton of Gig Harbor, WA, passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by his family. He was 85 years old.

Born on March 18, 1940, in Caldwell, Idaho, Larry was the son of Joseph Norton and Mildred Miller. He built a meaningful life through his successful career at Concrete Technology Corporation and, above all, through the loving home and family he created with his wife, Sheila.

Larry is survived by his son, Duane DeBock (Brenda DeBock); his daughters, Dawn Jury, Stephanie Moore (Darren Moore), Adrienne Norton, and Jennifer Murphy (Ryan Murphy); 14 beautiful grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Dean and Richard Norton; his extraordinary wife, Sheila Norton; and his beloved grandson, Christopher Jury.

A memorial service will be held on Sunday, September 21, at 2 p.m. at Haven of Rest in Gig Harbor, WA, with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Key Peninsula Community Services.
