Born in Orange, Texas, on October 12, 1948, he was the son of Homer Norwood and Thelma (Willey) Norwood. Jimmy was a graduate of Bridge City High School. He was a simple man and a true cowboy at heart with a passion for raising and tending to his horses and cattle. Never listening to the restraints time tried to put on him, you could often find Jimmy still riding and roping every chance he could. He was hardheaded and little stubborn but would always go above and beyond for those he loved. His comfort zone was always outdoors, whether it be catching fish or breaking horses, he was always at his happiest when he was at the sale barn and he was always eager to get back to his stock. Jimmy will forever be remembered in the hearts of all those who loved him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Homer and Thelma Norwood; daughter, J Reneé Klein; and grandson, Fisher Hughes.

He is survived by the love of his life and wife of 30 years, Trina Norwood; children, Julie Norwood Walker and husband Bobby of Orangefield, and Chad Norwood and wife Sara of Merryville, Louisiana; grandchildren, Grant Klein, Colton Klein, Shiloh Walker, Jasey Walker, Danny Walker; and great-grandchildren, Blake Klein, Landon Klein, and Caleb Klein.

Serving as pallbearers will be Clint West, Bobby Stout, Steve Hughes, Shiloh Walker, Grant Klein, and Colton Klein. Honorary pallbearers are Johnny Brunette, Bobby Walker, Wendell Tilley, Terrell Vance, Roger Odom, Randy Fuslier, and Mack Wilbern.
