Norman Michael Montion

Norman Michael Montion was a dedicated member of the El Paso Police Department for seventeen years and is remembered first for his steady service, his family ties, and the everyday things that made him who he was. Colleagues recall a professional who worked quietly and consistently — a detective whose daily commitment to his community and coworkers reflected a lifetime of public service.

Montion was a family man: he was survived by his wife, a son, and two daughters. Public memorial records note that his son later followed his father’s example and served with the El Paso Police Department, a sign of the impact Norman’s life and work had on those closest to him. Friends and fellow officers who have left reflections about him describe a teammate and companion in routine work and leisure; personal remembrances mention shared times outside of duty, including bowling and other everyday connections that built long friendships.

Beyond his role in uniform, the public record shows Norman’s loss was felt across El Paso’s law-enforcement community and by neighbors who recognized him as part of the fabric of the city. His name appears on memorials that honor Texas peace officers and on sites that preserve the memory of officers who gave their lives in service. Those listings underline both the professional respect he earned and the personal grief of a community that valued him.

While detailed private aspects of Norman’s life—such as a complete birth date, schooling, or hobbies beyond what colleagues recalled—are not part of the public record accessible in this research, what is clear is that he was a real person with a family who carried forward his example. The measured, human details that survive in memorials — his years of service, his roles as husband and father, and the choices of friends and family to remember him publicly — are the foundation of this remembrance.

Norman Michael Montion is remembered not for the manner of his death but for the steady work, dedication to duty, and family ties that defined his life. Those who knew him recall an everyday courage and commitment that continue to resonate with his family and with the El Paso community he served.
