In Loving Memory of Norman L. Klotz, 93

With heavy hearts and a lifetime of cherished memories, we announce the passing of Norman Klotz on November 5, 2026, a loving husband of 60 years to the late Rose M. Klotz (DeRosa), a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, and friend.

Norm was born to Eustice Theodore and Vivian Klotz and was the brother of Marquita Curtis. He proudly served his country during the Korean War and went on to enjoy a successful 35-year career in the insurance industry.

Norm lived a long and full life, filled with family, hard work, stories, adventures, and love. He believed deeply in the value of education, determination, and a strong work ethic — values he instilled in his children and that continue to shape the generations that follow. He had a personality all his own, and his stories, opinions, and unmistakable character will be fondly remembered.

Above all, Norm's greatest legacy was his family.

He was the loving father of Theodore "Ted" Klotz (deceased) and his wife, Mary; Matthew "Mark" Klotz and his wife, Nancy; Ava O'Connor and her husband, Mike; Julie Klotz (deceased); and Karla Tartz and her husband, John.

He was also the proud grandfather of Teddy Joe, Ember, Richard, Jason, Joe, Rebecca, Lee, Nicolle, Patrick, Lindsay, Daniel, Brittany, Zoe, Dylan, Morgan, and Skylar. His family legacy extended across generations, including his beloved 22 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild.

Norm is now reunited with his beautiful wife, Rose; his children, Julie and Ted; his grandchild, Morgan Rose; and his great-grandchild, Wells Morgan. While our hearts ache at his passing, we find comfort in imagining the joy of their reunion and knowing that those we love are never truly far from us.

Although we must say goodbye, the love he gave, the lessons he taught, and the memories we shared will remain with us forever. We will miss his stories, his unmistakable personality, and the many ways he made our lives richer.

Forever loved, never forgotten, and always in our hearts.

Norm will be laid to rest beside his beloved wife, Rose, in St. Charles, Missouri, where both were born and raised.

A ‘Celebration of Life’ will be held on December 6, 2026, 11:30 AM-2:00 PM, at ‘The 1859’, 111 South 3rd St., Loveland, OH 45140.
