Chase was born on Jan. 2, 1991, in Cedar Rapids, the beloved son of Jeff and Cindy (Meyer) Norton. He graduated from Linn-Mar High School and attended Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids. He was employed with Casey's General Store for five years. Chase had incredible charisma. His bubbly personality was evident whenever he entered the room and his sense of humor could always make people smile.

Chase loved life. He was a gifted athlete, talented pitcher and disc golfer. Chase had a passion to be on two wheels, starting with riding his BMX on the trail he built with friends, to BMX racing competitions. As he got older, his two wheels added a motor. He loved riding his motorcycle and the freedom that came along with that. Chase will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

May the Lord bless and keep you. May the Lord shine His light upon you and give you peace. As Chase would say, "Here we come!"

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Chase's family.
