Norris was selfless, and he will be remembered as a gentle soul who brought warmth and comfort to all who knew him.

His family, friends, and loved ones will gather to honor his memory and celebrate his life at a graveside service that will take place on 2:00 pm on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at Mountain Rest Cemetery in Kings Mountain., officiated by Pastor Ches Robbins. The ceremony will be a heartfelt tribute to a beloved man who touched the lives of his family.
