Norman Weber

Norman Cannon Weber passed from this mortal life in the early morning hours of May 3, 2026, from the effects of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. He was nearing his 84th birthday. He passed at his home with his wife Nancy and brother Garth at his side. He was born October 1, 1942, in Logan, Utah, to Mondell Cook and Beth Cannon Weber.

He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Nancy Taylor; children Mark Taylor (Kaylene) Weber of Ramona, California; Tamara Weber of Temple, Texas; Michael Taylor Jackson of San Diego, California; James Taylor Weber of Hemet, California; Nancy Lee (Bryan) Werwick of Blanchester, Ohio; and Linda Kay (Scot) DeRemer of Nephi, Utah; eighteen grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents, his sister Janet Weber, brother Richard Mondell Weber, and daughter-in-law Amy Hall Jackson.

After returning from a mission to the North Central States for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he married his high school sweetheart Nancy Taylor in the Salt Lake City Temple. Norman began his studies at the University of Utah, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management. Nancy and Norm began adding children during this time with the adoption of Mark. During this time, he joined the Army Reserve as a medic during the Vietnam War and served for eight years. After completing his university studies, they packed up their belongings and moved to the San Diego, California area, where Norman found employment. He continued his education in the field of finance, earning his Certified Financial Planner degree. They resided there for 45 years. They added five more adopted children to their family while in California. They left San Diego in 2014 to serve a senior mission in the Angeles Philippines Mission. They returned home in 2015 to American Fork, Utah. Norm and Nancy served a second senior mission at the Provo Missionary Training Center.

Norman served in many callings in the Church during his life, including Elders Quorum President, a Bishopric counselor, Stake Executive Secretary, Ward Clerk, Scoutmaster, Gospel Doctrine teacher, early morning Seminary teacher, Institute instructor in the Philippines, and Temple and Family History Consultant. He also loved to sing and always sang in ward choirs wherever he lived.

During Norman’s high school days, he became involved in mountain rock climbing. His favorite spots to climb were Mt. Olympus, the Granite Quarries, and Lone Peak. During his rock-climbing days, he was part of the Sheriff’s mountain rescue team. When he was 15 years old, he got a job working as a counselor with the Boy Scouts of America at various Scout camps around Utah. This was the beginning of his love of Scouting. He worked in Scouting for many years with his boys and other young men, being a good example to those he had the privilege to work with. He loved making Pinewood Derby cars.

Norman was a skilled woodworker. He made a cedar chest for one of his daughters as a high school graduation present. He entered the cedar chest in the San Diego County Fair one year. He didn’t win a prize, but he got free admission to the fair. He did many other projects, like remodeling the home in American Fork. He repaired most of the cars he owned over the years by buying the shop manual, reading how to do something, and then doing it.

Norman’s life was dedicated to his family and the Church. He was a man of integrity both in his profession and his personal life. He was a person who could be in a situation, see what needed to be done, and then just do it—whether it was preparing for a ward activity, cleaning up afterward, or responding in crisis situations. He was always available to help anyone who needed help, going out of his way to do so. He was especially talented at fitting things into a moving van. People would ask specifically for him to oversee the loading of their truck. He had an amazing ability to see how best to fit things into it.

Norman left this life as an honorable son of God, doing his best to keep the covenants he had made with his Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and with his loving wife. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
