James Newert Obituary
James T. "Jimmy" Newert
OWASCO - James T. "Jimmy" Newert, 54, of Adams Avenue, Owasco passed away Sunday, June 18, 2023 in Rochester General Hospital. Born in Auburn, Jimmy was the son of the late F. James and Margaret (Barron) Newert, and was a graduate of Auburn High School, Class of 1987.
Jimmy took pride in everything he did, including his time working for the Cayuga County Sheriff's Department, and later, when his health no longer allowed him to do that, he worked other various jobs. In the later years of his life while he was unable to work, his greatest pride was in being there for his family and friends anytime they asked for anything.
To know Jimmy was to love him. He was always ready with a joke, or sarcastic remark. He will be remembered as someone that was always there to lend a helping hand, with a smile on his face. While he faced many health obstacles in his too-short life, he did so with grace and humor. He spent his spare time watching Cops, while racking up Amazon packages. His greatest joy in life was to spend time with his wife and three kids and their dogs, Rudy, Ollie, and JoJo.
Jimmy is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Janeen (Colvin) Newert of Owasco; three children: Jacob, Hannah and Alex; two brothers: David Newert (Lynn) of Auburn and Dennis Newert (Sharon) of FL; three sisters: Christine Newert of Auburn, Katie Netti (Jim) of Auburn and Maria Newert of Auburn; as well as the Colvin siblings; several aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
Friends are invited to join the family for a Memorial Mass to be offered Saturday, June 24, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. in St. Alphonsus Church. Calling hours will be conducted Friday, June 23, 2023 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the White Chapel Funeral Home, Inc., 197 South Street, Auburn.

My condolences to the family. Jimmy was my brother Steve's best friend growing up, and I remember him well. I remember he and Steve staying up all nite playing Atari at my house. When Steve died, Jimmy and I spoke several times, and he recently texted me to say he was thinking of Steve and missed him. God Bless his family and may He get them all through this difficult time together in His Love Amen.
