Obituary of Scott Allan Newman

Newman, Scott

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Scott Newman, a beloved member of the Campobello Island community, born on February 18th, 1966. Scott passed away on March 28th at Saint John Regional Hospital, surrounded by his beloved wife and the love of his friends and family.

Scott was a dedicated volunteer firefighter, always ready to serve and protect his community. His selflessness and generosity were evident in everything he did; he was the type of person who would give you the shirt off his back without hesitation. A loving husband, father, cherished friend, uncle, caring grandfather, brother and devoted member of the Pentecostal Church. Scott’s warmth and kindness touched the lives of all who knew him.

Scott had a deep love for the sea, spending countless hours fishing on the Bay of Fundy. He cherished the camaraderie of his coworkers, especially his Captain, Jamie Mitchell, who became like family to him over the years. His passion for the water was matched only by his passion for helping others, and he will be remembered for the joy he brought into the lives of those around him.

Scott is predeceased by his parents and two brothers.

Scott is survived and missed deeply by his loving wife of 35 years, Sally Newman; daughter Becky Nolan and spouse; son Dana Morse and spouse; his grandchildren; nieces and nephews; extended family and special friends, Jocelyn Legacy and Chance Fitzsimmons.

Scott's legacy of service and love will continue to inspire us. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Respecting Scott’s wishes, there will be no service.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Campobello Island Volunteer Fire Department, a cause that Scott held dear to his heart.

be able to fill them.” - Captain Jamie Mitchell
