Lemuel "Stu" Walter Norman was born to Auneea Bell MIckles and Lemuel Erroll Norman

on August 15, 1963 in Kansas City, KS. He departed this life on Thursday, May 30, 2024.

As the first born he was dearly loved by his family and affectionately called "Stu" by almost

everyone. He received his education through the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools. Stu

attended Parker Elementary, West Middle, and was a proud member of the first graduating

class of Sumner Academy (1983). He later took his talents to Wichita State University.

Sports played a significant role in his life, especially basketball and football. In his earlier

years he was an avid basketball player, participating in tournaments around the city. The

Kansas City Chiefs was his number one team and during basketball season it was all about

the K.U.Jayhawks.

Stu made being a sports spectator FUN and EXCITING. His passion was cooking, no

matter the crowd, and he worked as a head chef for many upscale restaurants throughout

the Kansas City area. This joy led him to create his own catering business,"Stu's Catering".

In addition to cooking, he also along with his father operated "Lem and Son's Painting and

Contracting". In December 2019 Stu was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

He faithfully attended Christian meetings at the Hillcrest Congregation in Kansas City, MO.

Stu had a strong faith in Jehovah and his future promises as outlined in the Holy Scriptures.

He was a humble and mild tempered man. A person that was delighted to serve Jehovah

and enjoyed every assignment. Stu enjoyed sharing in field ministry to the point of joining

his wife, serving as a continual Auxiliary Pioneer. Travel was something Stu truly enjoyed.
