In Loving Memory of Norman Ray Koch Jr.

Norman Ray Koch Jr. was born on September 17, 1946, to Doris Koch and Norman Ray Koch Sr.

Norman proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War as a member of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, known as the legendary Blackhorse Regiment. His service reflected his courage, strength, and unwavering dedication to his country.

Following his military service, Norman worked at Ivy Hill in Terre Haute, Indiana, where he remained until his retirement. He was a hardworking man who valued loyalty, friendship, and brotherhood.

Norman was also a devoted member of the Diablos Motorcycle Club for more than 50 years. His brothers were his family, and the bonds he formed throughout his many years of riding extended across the country. He lived life on his own terms, riding coast to coast and creating memories that will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him.

Norman was preceded in death by his mother, Doris Koch; his father, Norman Ray Koch Sr.; his three beloved stepchildren, Pamela, Cheryl, and Doug, who have all gone to be with the Lord; and his longtime best friend, Joe Conine.

He is survived by his sister, Susie Conine, along with his beloved family and friends, including Tommy Pastor and Mary Pastor; Erik Binford and Amanda; John Baltas and Cheryl; Mike VanNess and Lori; Tony McMillin; Little Mike; R.J.; and his Diablos Motorcycle Club brothers throughout the country.

Ride free, Norman. Your brothers, family, and friends will carry your memory coast to coast.

Forever a soldier. Forever a brother. Forever in our hearts.
