Donald Eugene Norman Jr., "DJ," 62, died Thursday, Aug. 6, 2020, after a medical emergency. Murdoch-Linwood Funeral Home & Cremation Service in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is assisting the family.
Donald was born in Sioux City, Iowa, where he lived until moving to Cedar Rapids in 1963. DJ had a whimsical nature, loving a joke or a prank. He struggled for years with mental illnesses. His family is grateful to Tailored Living in Marion, Iowa, for their care of him for many years.
He is survived by both parents, Donald Sr. of Lexington, Ky., and Anita Marlene Selzer of Cedar Rapids; sisters, Susan Norman of Cedar Rapids and Julie Norman of St. George, Utah; brother, Chuck (Linda) Norman of Center Point, Iowa; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, whom he dearly loved.
