Graveside services for Mr. Eddie Bryan Norvell will begin at 10:00 am on Tuesday, May 17, 2022 from the Montrose Cemetery under the direction of Colonial Chapel Funeral Home in Bay Springs. Rev. Jim Savell will officiate.

Mr. Norvell, age 91, was born January 2, 1931, in Lubbock, TX, and was a longtime resident of Montrose. He was a retired truck driver, and a member of Montrose Baptist Church, where he served as deacon.  He served as treasurer and groundskeeper for the Montrose Baptist Church and the Montrose Cemetery for many years, where he served faithfully until 2020. He was a student of the Bible, and in his younger years enjoyed Westerns on the television. He loved his family dearly, and supported them in all of their endeavors. An avid lover of seafood, he will be remembered for his past times of gardening and farming, raising cattle, also, and maintaining his yard. He had a passion for his longtime three-legged canine companion, Fox, who was so loyal. He lived a life of faithfulness for the younger generations to follow, selfless with a servant's heart. He passed away on Thursday, May 12, 2022 under the care and supervision of the staff of South-Central Medical Center in Laurel.
