Timothy James Norris, 67, of Huntertown, IN, passed away peacefully on April 30, 2024, at Franciscan Health Indianapolis, beside his loving wife, Kristi. He was born in Elkhart, IN, to the late James and Jewel Norris.

Tim was a devoted husband of 40 years to Kristi and a loving father to his nine children: Danielle (Christy), Beau (Kelly), Luke (Kristen), Chelsie, Noah (Madeline), Alexis (Jon), Isaiah (Lauren), Jonah, and Mackenzie (Lucas). He was a proud grandfather to Julien, Dean, Emery, Zehr, Lane, and Ozra. Tim cherished his family and found joy in spending time with them.

Professionally, Tim was a respected real estate appraiser, but his true passion lay in supporting his children at their sporting events. He was a dedicated fan of the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, and Indiana Hoosiers. Tim's love for sports was surpassed by his love for his family, whom he showered with affection, humor, and unwavering support.

Tim's kindness, generosity, and compassionate spirit touched the lives of everyone he encountered. He had a selfless heart, always putting the needs of others before his own. Tim made people feel welcomed and cherished, whether through his captivating comedy, genuine conversations, or acts of kindness.

A devout believer, Tim found solace and strength in his faith. He was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, whose love and teachings guided his actions. Tim's deep faith was not only a source of comfort for him but also a guiding light that he passed on to his children and grandchildren. He was a living example of Christ's love, grace, and compassion, leaving a lasting impression on the hearts of all who knew him.

Tim leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion, and faith that will continue to inspire all who knew him. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to have known him.
