Lubbock

Keefe Dale Norton, 62, of Lubbock, Texas, passed away on Saturday, June 28, 2025. He was born on July 19, 1962, to Billy Eugene Norton and Norma Lou Nowell.

Keefe graduated from Eula High School in Clyde, Texas, with the Class of 1981. Shortly after, he embarked on a distinguished career in the United States Navy, serving his nation with honor for 22 years before retiring as a Petty Officer 1st Class. After retirement he went to South Plains College and received an associate’s degree in science. His commitment to duty was a hallmark of his character.

Beyond his military service, Keefe found joy in various pursuits. He was an enthusiastic golfer, enjoyed target shooting, and was known for his love of reading, often immersing himself in books. Keefe was also a faithful and active member of Southcrest Baptist Church, where his welcoming presence as a greeter and his vigilance as a security guard will be greatly missed.

He leaves behind his loving daughter, Valerie Norton and granddaughter Evelynn McDaniel of Lubbock; his sisters, Vicki Cox (Jimmy Cox) of Port Lavaca, and Billie Jean Buss (Scott Buss) of North Richland Hills; and his aunts, Lorita Sloan of Atlanta, Georgia, Ruth Davis of Justin, Texas, and Bekki Breisch (Bruce Breisch) of Southlake, Texas, also, nephew MAC Travis Buth, nieces Katrina Buth, Amanda Buth, and Loren Wettig. Keefe was preceded in death by his parents and his beloved grandson, Tony Ayala.
