Daniel Norton

Our beloved son Daniel P. Norton Sr. passed from this earth to be with our Heavenly Father on June 24, 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah due to heart failure.

He was born November 1, 1955 in Porterville, California. He was the oldest son of Joyce and Leland Munson of Baker City, Oregon. He was a U.S. Army veteran and was honorably discharged in 1974, serving his time in California, Washington and Hawaii. He attended school in California and Henderson, Nevada.

 He was an accomplished painter and plumber throughout his life, and loved camping out and fishing as long as his Mother was there to take the fish off the hook. He has six children that he dearly worshipped, and a special sister, Deanne Toomey of Oak Grove, Missouri. They had a brother-sister love and bond like no other.
