Man dies in tractor accident at Issaquah home

The King County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a possible industrial accident near Issaquah. The Bellevue Fire Department responded to a residence at 10:30 Saturday morning.
John Norman was building a home to make a better life for his family. The 31-year-old died last week when a tractor he was operating rolled over. He was a really strong family man, just a good person too, said mother-in-law Brenda Klos. It s the wrong sequence of order in things. My own faith was rattled, I was like come on, take me, said John's father-in-law, Eric Klos. It s hard to imagine he's not going to be here, said John's wife Breanna. It s a nightmare Breanna and daughter can't wake up from, and it gets worse. We just found out a couple of weeks ago that we were having a girl, said Breanna. It was important to him to bring her home, in their new home, said Brenda. If we could get it done before Abigale is born in September that'd be awesome. A day after Norman's funeral, friends and family knew they had a job to do. It s the rest of the dream that needs to come together, said John's friend, Mike Barter. We'll be able to show his daughters what daddy built, said Eric. The home isn't just a place, it's where John lives on. We won't let her daughters not know their dad, said Brenda. He lives on in our memories.
