Norman Patrick Ketchum Jr.

Norman "Pat" Ketchum Jr., age 54, passed away on Monday, September 15, 2025. Born in Michigan on March 21, 1971, Pat was the son of Norman P. Ketchum Sr. and Sharon K. (Powers) Wiese.

Pat proudly served in the U.S. Navy, a path sparked by his time in high school ROTC and shaped by a deep sense of duty. He was a die-hard Michigan fan through and through-whether cheering on the Wolverines or working on a new woodworking project, he brought passion and grit to everything he did.

Country music was the soundtrack of Pat's life, and he never missed a chance to line dance with his Uncle Louie. His laugh, his loyalty, and his love for family will be remembered by all who knew him.

He is survived by his children, Aaron (Hannah), Andrew, and Alyssa Ketchum; his grandchildren, Christopher, Oakleigh, Trentyn, and Ashton; his mother, Sharon K. Wiese; his maternal grandmother, Vivian Jourdan; and his brother, Jacob Ketchum. He was preceded in death by his father, Norman.

In keeping with Pat's wishes and those of his family, cremation will take place, and no service will be held. Palmer Funeral Home – Hoven Chapel is assisting the family with arrangements.
