Ronald Allen Newton, friend, nurse and partner Extraordinaire, never a harsh word, always a kind deed. Loved by his family and all who knew him. Monday afternoon 13 May 2013 his pain and suffering ended, he was ready to go Home. He was surrounded by family and our friend Chaplain Malcolm Marler. He is survived by his long time partner, Milton McGehee; parents, Charles and Judy Newton, Deatsville AL; brother, Randy (Amy) Newton, and nieces, Candi Fry and Christi Newton, Colorado Springs CO.

My Dear Friend Ron,
There is a void in my life that will never be filled.
I am a better person for having known you for 34 plus years. You taught me always to seek out the good in people and not to judge their motives or actions because we don't know what burden they are carrying.
It was my honor and pleasure to help you and take care of you while you were sick, even though more than once you told me I wasn't a very good caregiver! Now you are healed, hurting no longer and rejoicing with the heavenly choir of angels.
Until we meet again my sweet friend, rest in peace...
