STEVENSVILLE – Andrew Todd Norman, 32, passed away from his battle with cancer on Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2011, at his home in Stevensville and is now in the presence of his savior, Jesus Christ.

Andy was born June 25, 1979, in Missoula to Rick and Margaret Norman. He attended early elementary school in Billings until moving in 1991 to the Stevensville area where he attended Lone Rock School. He graduated from Stevensville High School in 1998. He enjoyed playing football for the Stevensville Yellow Jackets.

Andy has been employed at Figaro Pizza, Subway and for the past nine years at Wal-Mart in Missoula where he was a department manager at the time of his death.

An avid fisherman, he enjoyed taking family and friends to his favorite fishing holes. He loved the outdoors and sports, especially liked and followed NFL football. A favorite hobby was playing video games with friends.

Andy valued family and friends and was fiercely loyal. He was a good listener with a quiet and caring spirit and a quick, sarcastic sense of humor. He was a grateful person, not one to complain. He enjoyed uncle time with his niece and two nephews. Andy will be greatly missed, especially the wonderful hugs he gave.

Andy was preceded in death by his two grandfathers, John Andrew Balch and Ralph Norman, and the love of his life, Rachel Millhouse.
