(Stormin’) Norman David Karhut

Stormin’ Norman Karhut, as most people knew him, passed after a year and a half battle with cancer on November 22, 2024.

Norm was born in Vancouver, BC along with his brother James and his sister Teresa, both of whom proceed him. When he was eight, Norm moved to Whitehorse with his mother Doreen and his two siblings. While growing up you would find him playing soccer, or down at Rotary Park playing frisbee.

As an adult, Norm took joy in playing golf (disc or ball), either on the greens or virtually with his friends. He especially enjoyed teaching his niece Shantay when she was young out at Annie Lake.

In the summer, Norman frequented going up to one of his favorite places “Dodge”. He enjoyed the simple pace of Dawson City drinking a cold bud and meeting new people. When he could, he would go visit Salt Spring Island to visit friends and enjoy the warm weather and ocean breeze.

Most people who knew Norm, would say he was one of the first people they met moving to town and that he was a comedic fun guy who really liked having a good time, and showing people how to play foosball either at the bar or at a party. Though some would say Norm was difficult to be around at times. He was also very loyal, and you always knew where you stood with him. He will be very missed by the people who loved him.

Norm’s family would like to thank his friends who helped him out throughout the years, especially this last year. And would like to thank the nurses and staff at Wind River House for the care he received in his last few months.

There will be a Celebration of Life on June 20^th, 2025 at the Kopper King Bar, and BBQ at his old trailer. Then his ashes will be scattered on June 21^st in Dawson City. All who knew Norm are invited to come to either and to share their good spirits with a spirit. Contact his niece Shantay on Facebook or at [email protected] for more information.
