Tommy Wayne Norrell, age 80 passed away January 30, 2026. Tommy was born on December 8, 1945, in Monterey, California. He always considered himself a Mississippian having lived there for most of his life. Tommy was blessed to live a full life, from serving in Law Enforcement as a Deputy Sheriff to selling insurance to being a butcher, he touched so many lives. An avid Mississippi State fan, golfer, bowler, reader, and outdoorsman, he enjoyed the many blessings God bestowed upon him. He deeply loved the Lord and all his family, and his servant’s heart was always on display. While he enjoyed traveling, he truly loved being at home. Tommy always kept his focus on the simple things in life. He will be greatly missed, but there is such a great comfort in knowing that he is at home with his Lord and Savior!
