Mr. Norris passed away Saturday, December 20, 2025, while going about his daily activities, at the age of 78. He was born on October 12, 1947 in Shreveport, LA to Claude B. “Buck” Norris, Jr. and Patricia J. Norris. He attended Woodlawn High School and graduated in 1965.

Randy came from a long line of plumbers as he was the 4th generation to do so. He was a member of the Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 141 chapter for many years. Randy was a really good, loving husband and father. His playful banter with his siblings was fun and usually led to him reminding them who was “First Born”. His favorite place to go was the Norris family camp at Lake Bistineau, where he caught lots of fish and cooked many meals for the family. Great times and good cooking.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his wife, Connie Norris.

He is survived by his son, J.R. Norris and wife Amanda of Waco, TX, two daughters, Candy Norris and Mandy Norris; sister, Cheryl Crawley of Dallas, TX, two brothers, Gary Norris and his wife Susan of South Shreveport, LA and Richard Norris and his wife Moni of Shreveport, LA. He also leaves four grandchildren, Melissa Embrey, Ashley Embrey, Jacob Norris, and Zachary Norris; and three great-grandchildren, Khloe, Jayde, and Dash and all other family members and friends.
