Bruce's obituary
It is with deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of Bruce "Norm" Rodabaugh, III, who left us on January 11, 2025. Known affectionately as Norm to some, but preferring Bruce for himself, he was born on January 15, 1993, and he fiercely lived every moment until his departure.
Remembered as charismatic, loyal, loving, caring, goofy, and protective, Bruce had a dynamic personality that captivated all those who knew him. His passion for fitness was not just a hobby, but a lifestyle that he loved sharing with others. Bruce was also a dedicated fan of the Green Bay Packers, and found comfort in spending quality time with his family outdoors.
Married to the love of his life, Payton Rodabaugh, since 2015, Bruce was a pillar of strength and love to his family. He is survived by his devoted wife Payton, and their two beautiful children, Marlie and Barrett Rodabaugh. His love for them defined him as a man, and his legacy of love and perseverance will carry on through them.
In honor of Bruce's vibrant life, a Celebration of Life will be held on January 26, 2025, at 1:30 PM at Lacamas Lake Lodge. It will be an occasion to remember and celebrate the joyous life Bruce lived, the love he spread, and the memorable moments he has left with us all.
Bruce "Norm" Rodabaugh, III, lived a robust life full of love, laughter, and strength. He may have left us in physical form, but his spirit will forever remain in our hearts and memories. While we mourn his loss, we also celebrate the fantastic life he lived, and the countless ways in which he touched our lives.
