Mr. Norman Fitzgerald Leak was born to Odell and Lillian Leak in Winston-Salem, NC. He exchanged time for eternity with the Lord on Wednesday, March 20, 2024. His Mother and Father were by his side.

Norman accepted Christ at a young age and was baptized at White Rock Baptist Church where he served with the young adult choir. He continued to walk as a man of strong, enduring faith throughout his life.

Norman was a graduate of West Forsyth High School and earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Technology from North Carolina A&T State University. He worked as a professional freelance photographer for more than 15 years. During this time, he used his creative gifts to capture beautiful images that brought joy to many.

Norman was preceded in death by his grandparents, Huia Bodger, Ollie Bodger, Arthur Odell Leak, and Judy Leak as well as beloved aunts Linda Graham, Mary Blanco, and Ruby Jones.

Norman leaves to cherish his memories:  his devoted Mother and Father, Lillian and Odell; his loving sister Halima; brother-in-law Edward; aunts Emma Davenport, Mary English, Vermal Leak, Sierra Suber, and Camille Worrell; uncles, Charles Leak, Tony Blanco, Rev.
