The family of Donald Lee Newman, age 60, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be there to honor their Hero for his funeral service and military honors. We are privileged to do so.
Donald Newman enlisted in the US Army on February 1, 1977 and served as a Surveyor in Panama, he was honorably discharged on September 13, 1979 at the rank of Specialist (SPC).
After servicing his country in the Military, Donald worked as a Truck Driver during his civilian career. In his off time he loved all activities involving the outdoors. He loved to camp, hike, he loved boating, dirt bikes, and especially the beach. He always loved doing these things with his family and teaching his children how to do all the activities. Donald was also a big Angels Baseball fan.
Donald is survived by his loving wife Catherine, children Casey Scott, Joshua Newman, Katiellen Romo, and Cheyenne Newman, and 2 grandchildren.
