Although my brother was not a religious man, this is so perfect for him. Little I knew that morning, God was going to call your name, in life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for part of me went with you, the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
I believe he's up there on the biggest, best golf course playing 18 holes with his sister Orissa and saving a place for all of us, family, friends and dogs alike. I hope he's found peace and love. We'll miss him.

Newell worked with us a Sequoyah Electric for a few years prior to his retirement. He is remembered for his positive outlook and willingness to do whatever asked of him to help the project. I was always impressed with his desire to help others in his community. He will be missed and remembered by all that knew him.
