Norman Alfred Sabye

Norman passed after a brief illness on Monday, October 21, 2024 at his care facility at the age of 95.  A devoted husband and honored veteran, his loss will be felt by his family, the community, and the country he so proudly served.

Norm was born unto Odin and Lucie Sabye (Christiansen) in Chicago, IL and married the love of his life, Lisa  Knudson, in 1987.  Together they shared 37 years of adventures and memory-making moments that spanned the decades.  Their union is one that cannot be broken by time, nor distance, nor death itself.  

Norm was recognized early-on for his technical prowess in the field of communications while serving in the US ARMY, and was quickly elevated through the ranks of his career with the US Government.  Later in life, he was a staunch advocate for veteran care and the work of the Veterans Administration.  His faith in God was deep and it could be seen in both his daily life and his life's work.  He was a dedicated and deliberate man of conviction and commitment; traits recognized by all who know and love him.

In accordance with Norm's wishes, there are no formal services currently planned.  He asked that anyone so inclined to pay honor to his life make a donation to the Veterans organization of your choice or the Veterans Administration.  Norm would consider it a worthy tribute to his name to contribute to anything that provides care to our nation's servicemen and women.

Condolences may be expressed on this page or sent to THE SABYE FAMILY, care of Larson Funeral Home, P.O. Box 327, 12 5th Ave NE, Pelican Rapids, MN 56572.
