Sending love and light to the Newman family. I attended Spring Valley High with Brian and have fond memories of him during that time. In speaking with others who knew him from our high school days, there was always a shared sense of pride in watching one of our own “make it”. He left an imprint on not only our city, but our hearts as well and he will be missed.
Thank you Brian for your service to our city and fly high!

BJ and I send our deepest sympathies and condolences in the loss of Brian. Brian and our daughter Kathryn began school together in the first grade and we were able to see the kind, considerate and polite young man that characterized Brian throughout his life. BJ often said that Brian was the nicest and most polite young man at all times. Later, I had the opportunity to observe Brian in his professional career, and he was thoughtful, intelligent, professional, and strategic in his thinking and actions. Throughout, he was always kind and considerate of others. Please know that we wish for you during this time of loss that you will be comforted by God’s Grace and the certain knowledge that Brian is now in Heaven with the angels.

Brian was such an amazing person. His laughter was contagious and so was his uplifting spirit. It was always a good time when he came around his friends. He will truly be missed …
Brian and I played basketball together at Spring Valley. He worked hard, was always positive and supportive… the epitome of a great teammate. Thanks for those great memories and for the rides home after practice “Keeb” (the nickname the team gave him). This was tough news to hear, we are praying for the family!
Condolences to all of the Newman family. Brian sought my advice when he first ran for Columbia City Council. He did a great job on Columbia City Council and was a very good person. I will continue to keep the Newman Family in prayer.
Brian was an accomplished man, but more importantly he was good to people. The world has lost another bright flame, but his influence will remain. I hope during this period of grief, friends and family can take refuge in their memories. Then maybe this tragedy can carry the small benefit of bringing us all closer and reminding us to be kinder in our brief time together. Love you, Brian.
