Kevin John Newman
October 31, 1961 — May 9, 2012
Kevin John Newman, 50 of Chetek, passed away on Wednesday, May 9, 2012 at his home.
Kevin was born on October 31, 1961 in Rice Lake, Wisconsin to James BA and Norma Newman. Kevin was baptized and confirmed at Dovre Lutheran Church. He attended Chetek High School and graduated in 1980. He then attended Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College in Rice Lake for two years in the auto repair program.
He enjoyed taking care of his garden with all his flowers and plants. In the past Kevin enjoyed riding his motorcycle and working on cars. He also enjoyed working on the family farm. He enjoyed the camaraderie and closeness that working together with his brothers brought.
Kevin leaves to celebrate his memory, father James, brothers, Craig, Sherwin (Cheryl), and Paul Newman all of Chetek; sisters, Vicki (Richard) Huset, River Falls, WI; Ellen (Scott) Fransway, Chippewa Falls, WI; six nieces and nephews: Jackie (Dave) Tester, Rick (Julie) Huset, Laura (Jeff Casady) Newman, Mitchell (Molly) Newman, Megan and James Fransway, five great nieces and nephews, Sabrina and Nicholas Tester, Jenna and Liam Huset and Ingrid Newman. He is also survived by his faithful cat “Tiger Paw”.
He was preceded in death by his mother Norma on December 15, 2008 and his grandparents, John and Marie Newman and Marcus and Hannah Evenson.
Kevin was a very kind hearted and giving person; always willing to give a hand to family and friends. He will be sadly missed by all.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lords face shine upon you and be gracious unto you. The Lord look upon you with favor and give you peace.
