Norman L. Byars

Norman Lee Byars, Sr., 49, died at Merit Health Gilmore Hospital on June 15, 2016. Born on May 10, 1967 in Tupelo, he was the son of Cecil Byars and Mary Wilson Guthrie.

Norman attended Shannon High School. His love of cars and ATV’s led him to be an employee of Bishops Auto Center. He also was employed by the Gold Connection. Norman attended Bethel Apostolic Church in Amory. Being an outdoors man, he loved fishing, boating and most of all, grilling out. In his spare time, he loved to listen to “old” rock and roll and country music.
He was looked upon as one who cared for all people. Norman was a hard working man who loved his family. He especially enjoyed going to the water park with his son, Robin. One enjoyment in his life was buying toys for all of his children and grandchildren.
