Lewis Newman Obituary
Lewis Newman, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and musician, passed away on April 4 at the age of 78.
Born on May 29, 1945, to Mabel Curler and Charles F. Newman, Lewis was raised in Fall Creek, WI. After graduating from Fall Creek High School in 1963, Lewis embarked on a journey of service, joining the United States Air Force, and being stationed at Mountain Home Air Force Base.
It was during his time there that he met the love of his life, Sharon Dee Sanden. They married on February 23, 1968. Lewis was not only a dedicated serviceman but also a talented musician. Throughout his life, he graced numerous country western bands with his musical talent, from the Cimarron Cowboys to Rawhide. His love for music brought joy to many and left an indelible mark on those who had the pleasure of listening to him play.
After retirement in May of 2003, Lewis and Sharon settled in Byron, where they cherished being near their daughter, Melissa, and granddaughter, Ashley. Lewis found immense joy in riding his Harley and spending time with his family.
Lewis is survived by his daughter, Melissa A. (Jeff) Morris; granddaughter, Ashley Catlin; and great-granddaughter, Sara Nelson.
He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Sharon; his parents, Mabel and Charles; and his two brothers. He leaves behind a legacy of love, and music that will be forever cherished by his family and friends.
A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, April 12 at Mount Hope Cemetery in Rural Byron, with military honors. Online condolences are welcome at byronfuneralhome.com.
