Condolences may be extended online at www.oakesandnichols.com.Born October 29, 1954 in Lawrence County, he was the son of the late Dewey Norman and the late May Gray Norman. His tender heart was burdened with the weight of an unjust world resilience never found him in this life. True and loving acceptance extended forgiving hands and carried him away from his pain and strife. His tender heart now rejoices in love that does not cease. His gentle spirit basks in soothing sleep sweetly swaddled in eternal peace. Survivors include his sister and brother-in-law, Gail and Pat Prince of Columbia; brother and sister-in-law, Rick Norman and Michael Farnam of Wilmington, North Carolina; and special aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister and brother-in-law, Phyllis June and Howard Foster.
