Willie Norman Bryant, Jr.

Willie Norman Bryant Jr., age 75, was born on October 29, 1950, iPrinceton, North Carolina. He was the beloved son of the late

Willie Norman Bryant Sr. and Penina Campbell. He attended Princeton Grade School and was the eighth of thirteen children, 

sharing a lifelong bond with his siblings.

A man of deep faith, Willie faithfully served as a Deacon at Gospel City

Deliverance Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. He loved the Lord

wholeheartedly and found great joy in praising Him by playing the clash

cymbals during worship. Whether serving at church or helping someone

in need, Willie never hesitated to lend a helping hand.

Willie dedicated more than 35 years to the cleaning profession, taking

pride in every task and always striving for excellence. Even after

retirement, he continued serving others by assisting the Toma family

whenever they called. His dependability, generosity, and caring spirit

made him someone everyone could count on.

One of Willie’s greatest joys was his beloved dog, Big Boy. The two shared an inseparable bond built on loyalty, companionship, 

and unconditional love. Wherever Willie went, Big Boy was often close beside him.

Willie leaves to cherish his memory his loving children: Sharon Denise

Bryant, Willie Norman Bryant III, and Terrence Davon Bryant; his five beloved grandchildren: Nisha Bryant, Shaquanda Merritt, 

Anaya Elizabeth Bryant, Nacoma Davon Bryant, and Myra Amira Bryant; his cherished great-grandchildren: Kevon Antino 

Williams and Kahlisa Annelise Williams; as well as his loving siblings, extended family, dear

friends, and all whose lives were blessed by his kindness, faith, and

unwavering love.

Though our hearts are filled with sorrow, we find comfort in knowing

that Willie lived a life of faith, compassion, and purpose. His gentle

spirit, unwavering devotion to God, and love for his family and

community will forever be remembered by all who were blessed to

know him.
