Michael Alan Norris, 67, of Erwin, passed away early Monday morning, August 11, at Harnett Woods Nursing Center.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter Rufus and Reva Jane Ryals Norris; and two brothers, Jerry Wayne Norris and Walter Herbert "Herbie" Norris.

Michael is survived by three sisters; Donna Norris Hair (Danny Williams), Teressa Marlene Norris Silvas (Froylan), and Cami Lori Norris Viganas; and many neices and nephews.

A visitation will take place at the Dunn Funeral Home of Erwin on Thursday, August 14 from 3:00pm-4:00pm, followed by a funeral service at 4:00pm.

Prior to being disabled, Michael worked as a carpenter for many years and could build anything from wood. He was a loving person that loved his mother and brother, "Herbie", as well as his sisters or "sistas" as he would say, and his special pups. He was a kindhearted individual that would go out of his way to help. He loved to cook and was quite the home "gourmet", but he loved riding his scooter everywhere most of all.

You know I´m gonna miss you Mike. That nickname you gave me "Home Skillet." I never knew what it meant and I wish now I had asked but wherever you got it from it sticks with with me in memory. The one thing life has taught me is that in the end the only thing we truly have are memories and nothing else matters except the memories we made and you sure made some long lasting great memories. Every time you saw me you´d shout, "What´s Up Home Skillet" and I´d reply "Rock n´ Roll Manson!" That was our way of saying not such a bad day, but we sure wish it was better. Life is only about making memorable memories and it doesn´t alway´s matter who with as long as you make at least one person smile or laugh everyday, and death isn´t dying, it´s just simply moving on and soon enough we all move on. I will miss you brother... R.i.P.
