Norman Beaver was a minister for the Church of Christ in various communities in Texas. He was born James Norman Beaver, the son of Joe Beaver and Beulah Bell Beaver, and was raised near Iowa Park, Texas. He married Dorothy Crawford of Cameron, Texas, in 1949. He was the father of four children: actor Jim Beaver (born 1950), Denise Beaver (born 1952), Reneé Beaver (born 1953) and Teddlie Beaver (born 1958). Norman Beaver was a graduate of Abilene Christian College and did graduate work at the University of Wyoming. He served with the 24th Infantry Division as an anti-tank gunner during World War II, in the Philippines and then in the occupation of Japan. In addition to his ministry, he was a Certified Public Accountant and spent many years as a referee in high-school football and basketball games. In his seventies, he was stricken with a mysterious brain malady which eventually robbed him of his speech, though his mental facilities remained intact. He was unable to speak for the last few years of his life. He died peacefully at his home in Irving, Texas. He was survived by his wife, his four children, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
