Norris Sanders Obituary
He was the beloved child of Norris Sanders and Della (Sanders) Rollins, both of whom preceded him in death. Wayne is survived by his four children: Dwayne Sanders, Shane Sanders, Tania Etheridge, and Casey Sanders as well as five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He is also survived by his siblings, Gentry Hamblin and Brian Sanders, along with his stepfather, Buddy Rollins and step sister, Doris Lunsford.
He was a man of great humor and wisdom, always the life of any gathering. He had a deep passion for golfing, football, baseball, boating and camping. Attending Nascar races held a special place in his heart; and, his dog, Lucky, was always by his side.
Although Wayne is no longer with us, he will forever be remembered. Gone from our sight but never from our hearts.

I just came across Wayne´s death. I am very sorry. I never thought he would leave us. I was married to him for a time. I´ll never forget his fun loving nature, his devotion to family and friends. I always thought he would retire to Florida. Love always.
