Robert Newman Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Morton's Mortuary on Oct. 17, 2025.
Robert W. Newman was born on October 20, 1978, to Bruce Turnbull and Sarah Newman in Newtown, MA. He entered eternal rest October 8, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of strength wisdom, love and unwavering support for those blessed to know him.
Robert was a devoted father, son, loyal friend, and the foundation of his family.
To know him was to know a man of integrity, loyalty and truth. He lived by example -- dropping jewels of wisdom, standing tall through life's challenges, and showing everyone around him what it meant to be real.
His presence lit up every room, his laughter was contagious, and his love was felt deeply by all who had the privilege to share space with him.
He was not only a father, but a best friend, a safe space, and a guiding light. He raised his children with purpose, love and intention; teaching lessons that will continue to echo through generations.
In every word, every hug, and every moment, he gave his all.
Though his physical presence is no longer with us, his spirit lives on - in his children, in his family, in the many lives he touched. He taught us strength. He taught us love and he left us with the mission to carry his legacy forward, with our heads high and heart full. He was loved deeply, and he will be missed beyond measure.
To cherish his memory, he leaves behind his daughter, Josiah Newman, Mother, Sarah Newman, Father, Bruce Turnball, Brother, Ian Newman, Bonus son, Donte Rodriguez.

There will never be another "ROB" .. He was one of a kind. I met him as a customer at Home Goods and that's how our friendship started. He was always so kind, positive, funny and extremely deep with his thoughts on life. He was an old soul in a young mans body. His mom could not have chosen a better middle name for him "WISE" . We celebrated our birthday months in September and October. I still have his text he sent on my birthday and I could not wait to send his. He loved his Mom and children so much. Always spoke about them and I was able to meet his Mom briefly one day outside of work. Rob your presence here on this earth will be missed so much. Your laughter and Hugs were the best. Rest my friend now. I will never forget YOU.

Rob was one of the kindest people that I ever met. I'll never forget the countless midnight shifts that we worked at Stop and Shop and our multiple conversation regarding hip hop and life in general. Rest easy, big homey.

Rob, I couldn't believe when I heard the news and it still seems unreal. You had the most infectious laugh and smile! Gosh you helped me so many times over the years with words of wisdom and advice. I will forever cherish the 10 years I spent at Homegoods with you. The world has lost a bright light. My deepest condolences to your family and friends especially your Children. You always spoke so highly of them and made how deeply you loved them known. Until we meet again my friend... I will always love and miss you dearly
