Norman V. Inferrera III

Norman V. "Champ" Inferrera III, age 16, of Phoenixville, PA, passed away on Friday, August 20, 2021 in Cooper University Medical Center following a tragic accident while patrolling the shores of Cape May as a lifeguard. Born on October 24, 2004 in Phoenixville, PA, he was the son of Norman V. Jr. and Linda (Kelczewski) Inferrera of Phoenixville, PA. Champ was set to begin his Junior year at the Phoenixville Area High School, where he excelled in his studies and had already begun receiving college offers. With a philosophical approach, he engaged in his classes and was an invested thinker and listener. He had aspirations of majoring in mechanical engineering, just as his father and grandfather had done. Champ was living a life-long dream this summer by working as a lifeguard for the Cape May Beach Patrol. He tirelessly trained to better himself and build up his strength. He followed a strict workout regiment, ate a proper healthy diet, and measured his calories to match his workout routines. He had a determined and disciplined spirit and constantly challenged himself to be the best he could possibly be. He enjoyed biking and fitness, and was learning to surf this summer. In addition to his parents, Champ is survived by one sister, Melanie L. Inferrera of Phoenixville, PA; maternal grandfather, Edward J., husband of the late Elizabeth C.
