It is with deep sorrow and heartfelt grief that we announce the passing of James Norris, a beloved son, a treasured friend, and a gentle soul whose presence touched the lives of so many. James was the beloved son of Mother Norris, a woman known throughout the community for her faith, strength, and unwavering love—a love that James reflected so beautifully in the way he lived his life.
James passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a void that words cannot fill. Though his time with us was far too short, his impact will be remembered forever. He was a man of quiet strength, thoughtful kindness, and deep compassion. His laughter, his warm smile, and his ability to lift others even when he himself was struggling—these are the legacies he leaves behind.
To know James was to know love, humility, and sincerity. He carried the lessons taught to him by Mother Norris with dignity and grace—always striving to do right by others, to offer help where he could, and to lead with love. Whether it was lending a listening ear, stepping up for someone in need, or simply being present with a warm heart, James made a difference in the lives of all who crossed his path.
During this incredibly difficult time, we ask that you join us in lifting the Norris and Jeter families in prayer. They are navigating unimaginable grief, and your support—through thoughts, prayers, and kind gestures—means more than words can express.
Let us honor James by holding close the values he lived by: compassion, faith, loyalty, and love. Let us remember him not only in moments of silence but in how we treat each other, how we serve our communities, and how we show up for those who need us.
Funeral service arrangements and memorial details will be shared in the coming days. In the meantime, the family welcomes your condolences and reflections as they begin the process of healing.
Rest in peace, James Norris.
A son, a blessing, a light to many.
You are loved beyond measure and missed beyond words.
Your memory lives on—in our prayers, our hearts, and our lives.
