Rob Norton
Wayne Annala
Robert (Rob) Lavern Norton passed away
unexpectedly in his home March 17, 2020,
at the age of 59. Rob was born on January
29, 1961 to Robert and Elaine Norton in
Hood River, Ore. He was the youngest, and
only brother to Nancy (Matthews), Carrie
(Billings) and Sheryl (Graves).
Rob grew up in Pine Grove and graduat-
Rob Norton
ed from Hood River Valley High School. In
middle school, Rob played many sports but
his activities became more social in nature as he got to high
school. Rob could be described as a jokester, class clown and
life of the party. While active in FFA, he raised cows and other
livestock. He also enjoyed tinkering with his car and living out
his Evil Knievel dreams on his motorcycle.
Rob continued his education (as he would say) in the
school of “hard knocks,” working a variety of jobs in the
agricultural industry. He started with Willis Family Orchards
and later became a field man at Diamond Fruit, Stadelman’s
and Chamberlain Agriculture. Rob eventually worked with his
sister, Sheryl, at GS Long, where he became the manager. The
key to Rob’s success was his natural ability to “shoot the shit”
with anyone. When you had a conversation with Rob (busi-
ness or personal), you always left having had a good laugh
and being encouraged.
In 1990, Rob married Cheryl Cates, and in 1994 became a
dad to his daughter, Taylor. Taylor immediately melted Rob’s
already very tender heart. Rob married Tracy Sanguras in
1999 and their son, Austin, entered the world in 2000. While
Rob’s role as father and husband was the center of his world,
he also enjoyed coaching, cheering on both of his kids in
sports and taking his family on camping adventures.
Rob could not have been prouder of his kids. He beamed as
Taylor graduated high school and set off for Hawaii to become
a nurse. An added blessing was giving her away in marriage
to Clay, who soon became not only a son-in-law, but a true
friend. He was also very proud to see Austin flourish in high
school and begin his college career at George Fox University,
working toward a degree in criminal justice.
Rob loved people and enjoyed making them laugh.
Everyone who knew Rob has multiple stories of times he
cracked them up with his jokes and wild pranks. Beyond all of
this, his family was the center of his entire world. He lived to
provide for them and make them happy.
Rob gave so much to so many. Whether he was playing
Santa during the holidays, plowing driveways during the
winter, auctioneering at local fundraisers, or calling BINGO
for his mother-in-law’s local sorority chapter, Rob was always
willing to step up and help others.
Rob loved to travel with his family, work in his meticulous-
ly-kept yard, complete home projects, and host barbecues
and poker nights with friends. There were very few people
in the valley who didn’t call Rob a friend. He will be dearly
missed by all.
Rob was proceeded in death by his mother, Elaine Norton,
father, Robert Norton, step-mother, Barbara Norton, and
step-sister, Sally Johnson. He is survived by his wife, Tracy
Norton; his daughter, Taylor (Clay) Cox; son, Austin Norton;
siblings, Nancy (Ernie) Matthews, Carrie (Dennis) Billings,
and Sheryl (Randy) Graves; step-siblings, Sherrie Chevron,
Susan (Larry) Lucas, and Mike Johnson; his mother-in-law,
Debbie Sanguras; sister-in-law, Lindsey (Lang) Cook; broth-
er-in-law, Todd (Katrina) Sanguras; nieces, Joyce Willis, Tina
(John) Combs, Shana Mattson, Sara (Chris) Rumrill, Anika
Sanguras and Kennedy Cook; nephews, Cole Billings, Derrik
Johnson, Reed Johnson, Beckam Sanguras, and Kameran
Cook; great-nephew Blake Willis; and great-nieces Grace and
Tatum Willis.
