Jonathan Phillip Norris, a native of Shreveport, LA and resident of St. James Parish, passed away on Thursday, December 2, 2021 at the age of 70.

Jonathan was a great husband and father.  His title of "Mr. Dad" was easily earned by his unconditional love for his family and by the way he cared for them.  Life was a party to him, and all he wanted was for everyone to be happy.  He lived for his favorite time of year, Mardi Gras, and was a member of the Krewe of Elks. He was a proud veteran and served in the United States Air force traveling all over the world.  Jonathan was employed with Freeport for 28 years and was an officer of the VFW. He was also the proud owner of Norris Cleaners and Front Porch Gift Shop.

He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Debra Walsh Norris; children, Rebecca Norris and Sarah Norris; grandson, Whitney Eunice; sisters, Lillie Norris Jantz (Paul), Nora Norris Adams (Art), and Sallie Norris Beckes (Randy); brother, Alvin "Tommy" Norris, and numerous nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents, William Clyde Norris, DDS and Lillian Norris Simon and siblings, William C. Norris, Jr, Ph.D and Carroll Norris Burroughs.
