Justin Thomas Newton

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing from this world of our dear brother. Justin was a lover of motorcycles from the time he could walk. Riding was his passion, his community, and his way of life. He cherished his time on the highways and byways, making new friends who became family. He was a loving father, a friend to all, and a genuinely kind person. He was always ready to help someone out; willing to fix your car, mow your grass, paint your house, or even give you the shirt off his back.

He attended LaGrange Senior High and Sowela Technical Community College. Over the years he worked in a few different fields, but his fascination with cars, motors, and engines always brought him back to the automotive industry. He loved riding and building custom trucks.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory 3 beautiful daughters Michelle, Madeline, and Amelia Newton. He also leaves behind his parents, David Newton, Rhonda Benoit (Glenn); 2 siblings, Dean Newton (Sarah), Laura Hiatt (James); 5 nephews and nieces; and his girlfriend, Sarah Pilcher. He was preceded in death by his step-mother, Marcia Newton, and his grandparents, Leon (Yeola) Newton, Esther Newton, and Edward T. and Verdie Hebert.

Visitation will be at Johnson Funeral Home on Friday March 27, 2020 beginning at 11:00 am. A graveside service for family and friends will be held at Pujol Cemetery, Big Lake Road, at 4:00 pm with Katie Simpson officiating.

Tragically, Justin took his last ride on March 23, 2020.

It's all about the journey

It's the part that counts

Even when he gets there

He may just turn around.

He rides like an eagle, flying

All along the stars

It's all about the journey

Safe now from any harm.

Too soon he left to travel

Beyond where we can see

But it's all about the journey

Forever riding free.
