Norvel Wayne Wymer, affectionately known as "WW", 84, passed away August 16th, 2025. He was born September 1st, 1940, in Fair Oaks, Arkansas, to parents Norvel E. and Aileen (Simmons) Wymer.

WW moved to Indiana as a young man. He graduated from Fisher's Highschool in 1959. That same year, he started his career at Ford Motor Company. He worked at Ford for over 30 years with perfect attendance, until retirement in 2000.

WW was a valued member of Masonic Lodge 715 for over 50 years.

WW was deeply devoted to his family and community. Because of this, he is known to many and well-respected by all. To WW, there was no such thing as a "stranger".

Although a man of few words, WW touched the hearts (and stomachs) of others through his generosity, kindness, and mouthwatering food.

WW was a successful bar and restaurant owner. His two most popular establishments were WW's Ribs and the Blue Chaparral, where he served legendary pulled pork and world-famous chicken wings.

When not hard at work, WW enjoyed a good time; from the thrill of NASCAR races and shooting craps at the casino, to sitting on the beach and fishing.

WW enjoyed going to auctions and was always in search for a good deal. Throughout his life, WW loved to stay busy, always working on a project or two.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

WW is survived by his daughter Suzette Wymer-Jett (Stephen); grandchildren Ellie Gray (Kole) and Calvin Jett; great-grandchildren Maddie and Thomas Gray; sister Janet Wright-Fox (Jim); and his longtime companion Mary McCombs.
