Norman Emile Klippenstein

July 26, 1975 – January 12, 2026

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of Norman Emile Klippenstein on January 12, 2026.

Norm is survived by his wife of almost 25 years, Rhonda, son Mitchell, daughter Taryn (Kale), parents Ralph and Pat, mother Donna, sister Anna (Joe), brothers Tyler (Natalia) and Dylan, sisters Alana (Danny) and Deanne, niece Kaylene (Michael), nephews Logan and Kash, and numerous other family members. He is also survived by his in-laws Ron and Shirley, and Ryan and Khristin and their daughters.

He grew up in the North End with lots of friends and family. He spent his younger years playing hockey when he wasn’t finding trouble.

Norm was first and foremost a family man. He dedicated his life to ensuring his loved ones had a happy, supportive, and adventurous foundation. Many memories were made on family camping trips, holidays, sporting events, and in everyday life.

Twenty-seven years ago, Norm became a truck driver for Enviro-West. This eventually led to the establishment of Recycle-West, where Norm was a beloved and respected leader.

Norm’s sense of humour and caring attitude made it easy for him to make friends. He will be missed by many and will always be in our hearts.

We would like to thank Hemauer Funeral Home, Voyage Funeral Home, all first responders, medical staff, and all friends and family for their love and support.

Norm’s Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, January 30, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., at the Caboto Centre (1055 Wilkes Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba).
