Anthony Norman, 65, passed away on August 7, 2026. Born September 19, 1960, Anthony will be remembered with deep respect and lasting affection by all who knew him. He was truly beloved, and his presence left a meaningful mark on family, friends, and the many people whose lives he touched.
Anthony graduated from Spencer high school in 1979 in Columbus, Georgia. He later worked for Harvey Lumber Company in Columbus, Georgia, where his steady commitment and reliability reflected the kind of life he lived—grounded, sincere, and devoted to the people around him.
Anthony had a gift for connecting with others. He loved people and making them laugh, and he loved to laugh himself; he never met a stranger. His big heart was evident in the way he welcomed others, valued friendship, and carried genuine warmth into everyday moments.
He was a devoted fan of the Bulldogs and enjoyed attending bulldog games. He also followed NASCAR, enjoyed western movies, and loved guns. He loved Texas and visiting there. Above all, Anthony loved the Lord, and he held close the people he cherished most—he adored his mother and father, and he loved his step son Jessie Greer, taking great pride in Jessie’s service to his country.
Anthony is preceded in death by his father, Tommy Norman, and grandparents, Roy and Willie Marie Rasnick and Roy and Della Norman.
He is survived by his mother, Charlote Norman; Uncle, Darrell Rasnick; Aunt, Judy Rasnick; Cousins, Jeff Rasnick, Kris Bryant, Carl Bryant, Mark McCandless; along with many special friends, Claire Crawford, Rick and Mark, John and Alice Castelle.
Anthony Norman will be remembered for the love he gave so freely, the laughter he shared so readily, and the steady care he showed to those he held dear. His memory will remain a comfort and a blessing to all who mourn his passing.
