Floyd Veren Norris passed away on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at his home in Jasper, Alabama at the age of 96. Floyd had a gift for making something out of nothing, a trait he learned from his father who rose from humble beginnings, worked in the coal mines, and eventually owned his own mine. Watching his father faithfully provide for his family while helping pastor a church shaped Floyd’s faith, work ethic and resourcefulness – qualities he later passed on to his children and grandchildren. Floyd’s ambition, strength, and values led him to work in the coal mines, work on the railroad, pursue an education, and serve his country in the Air Force, where he became a decorated pilot in the Korean War. Floyd’s wife, Betty Jean, joined him in Japan while serving his country. It was there they welcomed a son, David, and daughter, Kay. Upon returning to the states, Floyd enjoyed a meaningful career as a Captain with Delta Air Lines. He shared his passion for flying with his family, using his instructor rating to teach many of them to fly. Together they enjoyed a life of adventure through flying, travel, real estate, and the world of art, all while keeping their faith in God first.

Floyd is preceded in death by his wife, Betty Jean, parents, Martin and Christine Norris, his sister, Lorene, and grandson Kyle Stephens. He is survived by his wife, Gail “Honey” Norris of Curry, his son, David Norris and wife, Susan, their sons, Christian Chatellier and wife, Chance, their children, Matthew, Laiken, and Bianca; Dustin Norris and wife, Emily, their children, Ava, Dayna, Lee, and Joseph; and David Norris Jr. and wife, Anna, their children, Greyson and Briggs. He is also survived by his daughter, Kay Norris, who lovingly stayed by his side through his final journey, her grandsons, Jack Stephens and Pete Stephens, her daughter, Ashley Ludtke, and her children, Kylie, Kobe, and Korbyn Ludtke, and three great-great grandchildren, Kylan Lewis, Davina Benedict-Ludtke and Kamila Kae Benedict-Ludtke. Floyd is also survived by his niece, Rhonda, nephew, Danny, and many other family members.

The Norris family wishes to extend their love and gratitude to Floyd’s caregivers for the past three years, Sonya Grace and Sylvia McLain, and to Southeast Hospice who cared for Floyd with care and love.
