Norman Gayle McDonald, Jr. was born on September 9, 1965 in Center, Texas, the son of Barbara Chandler McDonald and Norman Gayle McDonald, Sr.  He was raised in Garrison, where he always called home.  His family roots run deep in the small town and Norman was happy to be a part of such a close-knit community of folks that always stayed true to the meaning of “The Biggest Little Town In Texas”.  Having friends and family that remained where their life began and lived amongst each other in the area of East Texas, always keeping in touch and supporting everyone was something Norman was proud of.  He loved all the things about East Texas.  He also had quite the knack for building things, which took up most of his time.  However, if asked, he would tell you that his family was the best part of him and the one thing that he knew he got right.  He was a member of First Assembly of God Church in Timpson.

Norman is survived by his mother, Barbara McDonald; daughters, Brittany Lee & husband Chris of Timpson, Brooklynn Reneau of Garrison and Kaitlyn McDonald; sons, Austin McDonald & wife Carolyn of Nacogdoches and Trevor McDonald & wife Krystal of Nacogdoches; grandchildren, Dakota Lee, Branton Payne, Caesyn Lee, Payzlie Lee, Knoxx Reneau, Bexlee McDonald, Whitney McDonald, Kayden McDonald, Kashtyn McDonald and Willow Tarpley; sister, June Barclay & husband Floyd; niece, Cassie Puckett & husband, Michael and nephew, Kristopher Stockman.

He is preceded in death by his father, Norman Gayle McDonald, Sr. and a brother, Larry McDonald.
