James Daniel Norton III

29, 2024 at the age of 52. Born on March 1,1972 in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, James was a person with remarkable character who faced life’s changes with adaptability and strength.

James was a loving and supportive husband. Although our paths had diverged, James remained an important part of her life,and the respect and affection they shared endured. As a son, James was a caring,supportive,and devoted presence. His love and warmth will be remembered always. James was a cherished son and a true light in the lives of all whom he has touched. As a father he showed an endless amount of love, remarkable support, and inspirational guidance. His presence as a father was one of leadership, integrity, and compassion. He approached his family and friends with dedication and was known for his caring nature, always willing to support others in their time of need. As a brother he was a great protector with a gentle soul. We believe that God has put James at peace and has given his spirit freedom. We will forever remember James' quick wit, artistic mind, sense of humor and a kind heart. This is a testament to his commitment and enthusiasm for life. James’ spirit and love will be dearly missed.
