Terry Lynn Norman

Terry Lynn Norman was born Sept. 17, 1964, to Eldridge and Joyce (Jackson) Norman of Marlin.

Terry was 57 at the time of his passing on March 1, 2022. His personal motto about himself: “I live to protect and serve. When not at work I fish hard and live life to the fullest.” Although Terry was not a police officer he took great pride in his security job. He was willing to put his life in danger if needed to assist someone.

Terry was a great sportsman. He loved the outdoors, fishing, and enjoyed cooking. He also loved children and animals. If you were friends with Terry on Facebook I am sure you saw all of the wonderful meals be made. One of the best things about hin and his cooking was that he was always willing to share.

Terry was quick witted with humor along with a little sarcasm and for those who knew hi you know that to be true. He had a heart of gold and was loved beyond measure by his family and friends. He also loved them all very dearly. He will be greatly missed.

He is survived by: his brother, Johnny Norman and wife Tammy, plus their children Kevin Norman, Kashley Sykora and husband Scott, Trey Kilpatrick and wife Iris and their child Kalypso, also aunts, uncles and numerous cousins, second cousins, and third cousins.

A gathering to celebrate Terry’s life was held March 12 at Nutt Pavilion in Marlin. All security officers present were honor guards. Thank you to all for prayers, thoughtful words, your attendance and contributions.

Special thanks to Pro Security Group, Waco PD, AMR and management/maintenance at the apartment complex where he lived. Also thank you to Lake Shore Funeral Home and Crematory for all of their help.
