Robert Newman Obituary

Rob passed from this life on February 26, 2013 at the age of 45. He was born on May 22, 1967 in Lakewood, Colorado to Yvonne and, the late, Herbert Newman. Rob is survived by his mother, Yvonne Graves, two sisters; Kimberly Newman and Tiphanie McGoogan as well as a large circle of family, friends and his cat "Dime". Rob was a man who loved bike riding, rock climbing, watching "The Price Is Right" and was a cowboy at heart. He loved everything about the cowboy lifestyle. Rob never met a stranger. He was courageous, happy and uncomplaining in spite of the challenges that life brought his way. He will be missed by all who knew him.

I met Rob when we were both patients at the Rehab Hospital in '91. We stayed in touch for a while and I did see him once since then. He was an inspiration with his inner strenth and determination. I am sorry for your loss and we have lost a precious soul. I know that many thought that he would never walk again or regain clear speech. Imagine my surprise when he walked up to me years later. Rest now Rob.
