Norman's life was marked by his unwavering faith; he loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His dedication to his family and passion for his work as a certified welder for the Iron Worker Local 167 was unmatched.  He served his community with pride and was well-respected among his peers for his skilled craftsmanship.

A devoted husband for 39 years, Norman cherished his wife, Shirley Kee. Together, they shared a life filled with love, adventure, and cherished moments. Norman's commitment to his family extended beyond his immediate household; he was a loving son to Virginia Howard Kee and a steadfast brother to Jeffrey Alan Kee (Donna) and Patricia Forsythe (Adam). He enjoyed a deep bond with his children, Donald Wesley Maness (Dia), Michael Cole Kee, and his daughter, Hollie Mae Jones (Justin). His legacy continues with his eight grandchildren: Erika, Ethan, Cheyenne, Ally, Wyatt, Chloee, Rylee, and Cole, and two great-grandchildren, Tres and Lydia, who brought him immense joy.

In addition to his loving family, Norman was a cherished stepchild to Shirley S. Kee and had a close-knit relationship with his nieces, Codi (Dexter) and Sheridan (Casey), and his nephew, Nathan (Bella), as well as his great nephews, Jude, Zeb, Samuel, and Ozzy.

He was preceded in death by his father, Norman Augustas Kee Sr., and his brother, Nathan Scott Kee.

Norman held a significant role as Regional Captain of the Tennessee Punishers LE / MC Motorcycle Club, where he formed lasting friendships and memories. He had a profound love for the outdoors, which was evident in his hobbies as an avid hunter of deer, ducks, and turkeys. His passion also included riding horses, roping cattle, and taking long motorcycle rides with his wife, creating a lifetime of adventures together.

Norman will be remembered not only for his accomplishments but also for his kindness and compassion towards others. He loved his dogs, Mighty Mouse and Big Money, who were adored members of his family. Norman's life and legacy will be celebrated, and he will be remembered fondly by all who knew and loved him. All arrangements and services are under the direction of the Lea & Simmons Funeral Home.
