Norris, Arthur "Casey", age 58, of Centerville, passed away on Monday, August 23rd, 2021. He was born on March 5th, 1963 in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania to Nancy (Hontz) Garcia and Sheldon Norris.
Growing up Casey participated in Boy Scouts and developed his natural mechanical and electronic abilities throughout his time in Columbia-Montour Area Vocational High School, skills he used during his 22-year career in the Air Force. Casey was stationed throughout the United States, Iceland, and Japan working on Electronics and RADAR for the military. He assisted in the training of pilots before and during the Gulf War. He retired from the military as a Senior Master Sergeant. He later worked for Dell EMC as a Senior Solutions Architect for 18 years contracted with the Air Force at WPAFB.
Casey was happily married to his wife of 30 years, Patricia (Hunt) Norris. He always went out of his way to surprise her and his loved ones with items he purchased in secret, and then would wait for them to find the surprise so he could see the smile on their face. He had the biggest, most heart-warming laugh, and it could easily be heard from far away. Casey loved to tinker, taking things apart just to see how they worked, and he enjoyed the challenge of fixing anything and everything.
He enjoyed motorcycles and even raced at the highest level at Mid-Ohio. He taught motorcycle safety while stationed at Yokota Air Force Base in Japan and was also a member of the Yakota Striders. He was also a member of the American Motorcycle Association and the Motorcycle Sport Touring Association. He loved to curl up and read science fiction books, enjoyed target shooting with friends, and always liked to grill with a beer in hand. He was an active member of St. Francis of Assisi as a lector, parish liturgical committee member, and tech committee member. Casey truly loved his family above all, and will be deeply missed.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Nancy (Hontz) Garcia. Casey is survived by his father Sheldon Norris, wife Patricia (Hunt) Norris, children Alicia (Murry) Chelette, Rich (Heather) Dieffenbach, and Andrew (Michelle) Dieffenbach, grandchildren Flynn and Garrett Dieffenbach, and sisters, Valerie Norris Slade, Angela Norris, and Michelle Leiby.
