Norris Eason Obituary

Norris Melvin Eason, Jr., 67, of Thicket, passed away Monday, July 14, 2025. He was born on December 26, 1957, in Houston, to Mary Helen Collins Eason and Norris Melvin Eason, Sr.
Norris was a loving husband of 44 years to Terrie; they shared so many happy memories throughout their marriage but also shared some of the worst heart aches a parent could ever imagine. He was a loving father who lost his son way too soon. But now he is rejoicing in the embrace of his beloved son watching over us. I'm sure his and Blakes embrace was the biggest bear hug heaven has ever seen.
He was also a beloved friend to so many. He worked at the Papermill for 31 years. He was one of the last few old school guys who would make you work and tell you you were doing it wrong in his own unique way. So many men have came and went through those doors of the Papermill, especially on the number 2 machine, that learned to love and respect his work ethic and ability to lead.
Hunting was his passion. He had a wonderful group of guys, his friends, his buddies, that spent every fall together. They spent their time together telling stories and helping each other to feed their families through the hard times of "the good old days," and just enjoying the brotherhood they had developed over the years.
He had fine tuned his love of gardening and just loved being outdoors. He loved spending his days on his 4-wheeler riding through the woods listening to nature and talking to God. He could normally find the answers and peace he needed sitting in a deer stand listening to the trees.
He always kept us on our toes with his quick wit and ability to crack a joke. It's too bad the Dallas Cowboys aren't here today to let him down one last time.
I know while we are all here saying, "we will see you again in Heaven." He is saying, "yes indeed. And to his dearest friends he is saying, "yes indeed good buddy, yes indeed.
Survivors include his loving wife, Terrie Eason; niece, Sarah Taylor; nephew, Rance Taylor; great-niece, Hailee Taylor, and great-nephew, Lucas Taylor. He is preceded in death by his parents; and son, Blake Anthony Eason.
A gathering of Mr. Eason's family and friends will be from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m., Friday, July 18, 2025, at Broussard's, 530 West Monroe Street, Kountze. A private disposition will be held at a later date.
