Memphis, TN—The Memphis community is mourning the recent passing of Norris Martin, a retired veteran who was a cherished member of his family and neighborhood. Norris, affectionately known as "Uncle Jr." by his niece Maliaka Jackson, passed away unexpectedly on July 30, 2024, in his home. He was 76 years old and would have celebrated his 77th birthday on September 30.
Norris was a quiet and humble man who lived alone, never bothering anyone. Despite his peaceful life, he tragically passed away in a manner that has left his family and friends heartbroken. Maliaka Jackson has taken to social media to express her grief and to seek assistance in laying her beloved uncle to rest. She has organized a GoFundMe campaign titled "Help Lay Norris Martin to Rest," aiming to raise $5,000 to cover funeral expenses.
Maliaka’s heartfelt message on the fundraising page reveals the depth of her sorrow and the love she holds for her uncle. She describes Norris as a devoted father to his only daughter, Jennifer, and a beloved brother to his sisters Pat, Sandra, and Boo, and brother Buddy. He was also a cherished uncle to Maliaka and her siblings, Damon, Twan, and Quilla, as well as a dear friend to many cousins and friends.
The Memphis community has rallied around the family, sharing their condolences and support on Facebook. Many have expressed their sadness and offered prayers for the family during this difficult time.
The family is hoping to lay Norris to rest at R.S. Lewis and Sons Funeral Home in Memphis, TN, on August 17, 2024, provided they can raise the necessary funds. Maliaka, who usually hesitates to ask for help outside of her family, has made a humble appeal to the community, hoping to gather the financial support needed to honor her uncle’s memory.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Norris Martin’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this trying time. May his soul rest in peace.
