Norman Stanley Gibbs

Norman Stanley Gibbs, Age 90, passed away peacefully on March 17th, 2026 in Montrose Colorado.

Born July 3rd, 1935 in Montrose, CO, Norman lived a life marked by dedication to his profession and his family. He pursued his education at Montrose High School, and later attended college at Colorado State University where he earned his degree in veterinary medicine.

As a large animal vet, his work took him across the world where he lived and practiced his profession internationally in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Ghana, where he was able to contribute his expertise to both farmers and animals in a variety of cultures.

Those who knew him remember his strong work ethic, adventurous spirit, and his never ending studies into improving veterinary science using both Western Medicine as well as a holistic approach.

He was married to his beloved wife Nadine, who preceded him in death, as did their daughter, Shelly. He is survived by his son Spencer (Deedee Gibbs), his Grandchildren: Isaac Gibbs, Hannah Holloway, and Emma Nation. He lived to greet four Great-Grand Children into the world: Cecelia (Cici), Daniel, Isaiah, and Simon; all of whom who he loved very much.

A memorial will be held at Valley Baptist Church on Saturday March 28th at 11:00am.
