Lawny "Shorty" Len Norvell

Lawny Norvell, who was also fondly known as Shorty, passed away at the age of 56 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Lawny is survived by his beloved wife Laura Norvell; daughter Courtney Norvell; father Lawny Dean (Phyllis) Norvell; sister Lesia (Doug) Brady; and sister Lana Norvell.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Loretta Hoffman; and son, Connor Norvell. Lawny was a dear nephew, cousin, and friend to many.

Lawny proudly served in the United States Navy for four years. He married his devoted wife, Laura in 1993. Together, they raised a loving family and started several businesses throughout the years. Among his numerous achievements, Lawny was particularly proud of building his family home. As he finds eternal peace, his legacy resonates as one of strength, kindness, and sincerity.

The simplest pleasures in life brought Lawny great joy. He was an outdoorsman at heart. He loved hunting, fishing, camping, and spending time with family in the mountains. He was never one to shy away from hard work. Lawny leaves an incredible void in our hearts and he will be incredibly missed by those fortunate enough to know him.

Lawny’s family expresses their heartfelt gratitude to the staff and physicians at Memorial Hospital Central for their kindness and compassion.

Memorial Service, 10:00AM, Tuesday, May 14, 2024, Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 2030 West Colorado Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80904.

His ashes will be scattered in the Colorado mountains with Connor’s when the time is right.
