DR. BRIAN NEWMAN

It is sweet but very sad to think of Brian. He radiated a loving kindness for all. Our loss was heavens gain. I think thats how the saying goes. Im thinking of him and his sweet family today. They are special people indeed.

I reached out to Brian to see if he could suggest a therapist for a friend in Austin. He didn't know of one, but said she was welcome to call and talk to him. How like Brian to reach out to a stranger in need. Roll Tide!

I went to high school with Brian, he was always kind, quick to smile, and his focus was on Bible studies. Later in life, when I had my son, I always told him to be kind to everyone at school, as I told him this, I often thought of Brian, because he was so kind to everyone. I am sad to hear of his passing, but so happy and Blessed that I knew Biran and his family, for a brief period. Who knew he would touch so many lives across the world.

We were blessed to have Brian marry us and share nearly 20 years of uplifting fellowship, wise counsel, and Christ's love. It is our prayer that our Lord comfort Deb, Rachel, and Ben as He guides them daily on the path He has prepared for each of them. Thank you Deb, Rachel, and Ben for sharing your beloved husband and dad with us. "Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all." 2 Thessalonians 3:16

I only learned today of Brian's passing. Brian was a friend, counselor, and mentor to me. Even though our contact was sparse lately, I always knew that Brian was available if I ever needed him.

Debbie, Rachel, and Benjamin, I wish to extend my condolences and sympathy to you and pray God's blessing and comfort at this time of mourning and transition.

My condolences to the Newman family.
I only met him one time, when he counseled me and my wife. In one hour I felt more empathy, compassion and comfort from Bryan than I had ever experienced before in my entire adult life. He touched us, moved us and provided the peace we sought on several painful subjects. I am shocked by his passing but feel blessed to have known him.

I have fond memories of Brian and the Newman family from the Ruhama days. Brian was known for his energetic ways and love of God in our 10-year-old Sunday School department. You, my dear friends, will continue to be in my
every thought, every hope and every prayer. The brightness of a life well-lived continues to shine. Gently, tenderly...time heals. My love and heartfelt sympathy to each of you. God's great grace, peace and love to you and yours. Take care.

May the Newman family find peace in knowing what a positive impact Brian had on so many lives. I remember Brian's outgoing personality. He was always so genuine and could make you feel so good when you saw him. Brian had good examples in his life. His parents, brothers and sisters all shared these traits as well. Mr and Mrs Newman, can rejoice having brought up a son who learned to love both God and mankind with such a pure heart. Well done my good and faithful servant.
