NORMAN J , sasseville Norman J.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Father, grandfather, brother and uncle. Norman Joseph (Pops) Sasseville left us on August 14th, 2025, at the age of 82, surrounded by his loving family. Pops was Born in Earlton, Ontario on July 8th, 1943. Raised in Swastika, Ontario. A big man in stature and in spirit, Norm was known by all for his booming laugh, generous heart, and unapologetic honesty.

Norm was predeceased by his father Andy in 1997, mother Emerilda in 2014, brother Denis 2008 and his first wife Georgina (Nina) in 2009.

Survived by his loving sons Maurice (Midge), Danny (Amber). Brother Desire (Doreen), Sister Alice (John). Nephews & Nieces, Kevin (Tanya), Jimmy (Laurie), Chris (Angela), Tara (Shane). Grandchildren, Ryan (Salem), Keegan & Kadence. He will also be missed by his great nephews Raiden, Rylan, Jeremiah, Chandler and great nieces Jaylin, Chelsea and Cait.

Also mourning the loss of Norman is his “little buddy” and roommate Victor and his special friend Dawn.

Norm lived life full throttle. He was a hard-working man working for Trans Canada Pipeline for 35 years. He believed in earning your place, speaking your mind, and never backing down from a challenge—especially when it came to a good card game. He had a lifelong love of gambling, not just for the thrill, but for the stories, the people, and the laughter that always came with it. Pops loved to travel to Las Vegas and Casino Rama with his brothers and close friends.

Family was everything to Norm. He showed his love through actions, loyalty, and presence. Whether it was a breakfast gathering, a karaoke night, or a late-night heart-to-heart, he brought people together like few could. He never missed a chance to brag—loudly and proudly—about his three grandchildren, who were truly the light of his life. His love was loud, warm, and unwavering.

He was an avid sports fan, especially cheering on his beloved Habs. He enjoyed watching hockey, baseball & football. Pops was an amazing athlete in his younger years playing broom ball, hockey, baseball and football. He was also a great coach to many and also enjoyed being a referee in many sporting events.

There was never a dull moment when Norm was in the room. He believed that laughter belonged in every corner of life—even in the hard times—and he had a gift for turning ordinary moments into unforgettable memories. His stories, his jokes, his one-liners—those will echo in our hearts forever.

Norm lived his life the way he wanted—boldly, lovingly, and with a mischievous glint in his eye. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and the kind of spirit that can’t be measured in years, but in moments shared and lives touched.

In accordance with Pops’ wishes, there will not be a celebration of life. One of his biggest wishes was for everyone to treat each other with kindness. So, if you’re thinking of how to honor Norm start there. Be kind. Be patient. Be good to each other. That’s what he wanted most.

Rest easy, Norm. You were one of a kind, and you will be deeply missed.
