Norman Bedford Curtner, 64, of Jonesboro, passed away at his home on October 11, 2025. Norman was born in Memphis, TN, on September 26, 1961, to the late N. B. and Elnora Curtner. In addition to his parents, Norman is preceded in death by his wife, Alisa Curtner.
Norman spent most of his life living in Northeast Arkansas. He was an avid gun collector and never missed a chance to shoot them. Norman was also accustomed to working with his hands. He kept himself busy working on cars or crafting paracord bracelets. If he wasn’t indoors, you’d always find him fishing. Norman was also a key member of the local VFW Auxiliary, eventually rising to senior vice president. Most importantly, Norman loved his family, especially his four daughters.
Norman is survived by his daughters, Anglia Sykes (Taylor), Elizabeth Webb, Katherine McLeod (Joshua), and Kayla Keller (Joshua); 13 grandchildren; and Dorisa Warner, who was like a second mother to him.
