Horse had a passion for life, hunting, hotrods, and riding dirt roads in his 'Ol Roadee; but Horse treasured his family and friends above all else. His ability to love and his loyalty was unparalleled. Horse never knew a stranger, always had a funny story and loved to make people laugh. There was never a bigger heart placed in a person by God than what was placed in Kerry Norris.
He loved going into the Cube to surprise his adopted kiddos Kendyl and Abby with Queso, and to give them all what he called "A little hell". This world is a darker place without him in it, but we are all better for having known him.
