Norman Bell

Norman Bell of Surgoinsville, Tennessee died peacefully at home on Saturday, Aug. 26, 2023. He was 57.

“He had a passion for building and riding motorcycles and was known for his abilities to do so,” his family wrote in a tribute. “In addition, he loved to fish and was an administrator and member of Catfishin’ of Tri-Cities, Tennessee.

“Norman had a special place in his heart for animals and they also loved him. He was an avid and devoted Trump supporter and fan all the way.

“Most of all, he was a strong-hearted man with the highest of moral values who loved God and lived life according to his terms. He will be forever missed and loved by his family.”
