James Norris Obituary

James Clyde Norris,Sr., 80, of Greenville, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, September 25, 2025.
Born in Dacusville, SC, he was the son of the late Thomas Milford Norris, Sr. and Ruby Breazeale Norris.
Clyde proudly served in the United States Army. He served with the Greenville County Sheriff's Department before beginning a long career with Southeastern Products, where he retired as Director of Operations after 37 years of dedicated service.
He had a dry sense of humor and always knew how to bring a smile to those around him. Clyde loved farming and raising cattle, and he poured his heart into both his land and his family. He was a man of strong work ethic, deep faith, and unwavering family values.
Clyde is survived by his son, James Clyde Norris, Jr. (Kim); grandson, Jake Norris; granddaughter, Chandler Rushing (Harley); great-grandson, Jack Rushing; his faithful and loving companion, Anne Canfield; brothers, Don Norris, Ron Norris, and David Norris; and sister, Patsy Dillleshaw.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Georgia Norris; sisters, Vivian Campbell and Janice Landreth; and brother, Tommy Norris.
He was loved beyond measure and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
A visitation will be held on Monday, September 29, 2025, from 1:00 p.m. until 1:45 p.m. at Thomas McAfee Funeral Homes, Northwest, with the funeral service to follow at 2:00 p.m. in the Northwest Chapel. Burial will be in Graceland Cemetery West.
