Norris Wayne Guynes, of Rosie, entered the gates of Heaven on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, at home surrounded by his loving family. He was born on February 6, 1939, in Moro, AR, to the late Carter Guynes and Dorothy Marie (Gray) Guynes. Norris was of Christian faith and worshiped the Lord by the way he lived his life but also as a member at Salado Baptist Church, where he served the Lord and the church as a deacon for several decades. Norris was a very hard worker. He worked hard all his life and even after retirement he constantly stayed busy. When he wasn’t working, he enjoyed reading his bible and watching Walker Texas Ranger. Norris was a man of strong faith, a wonderful provider for his family, and a simple man. He was a loving husband, father, son, brother, grandfather, uncle, cousin, and friend. He will be dearly missed and forever loved by those who were blessed to know him.
