God sent a single spark of pure light into space, to a woman spinning on this blue planet, intended for her alone among billions of glittering stars in an endless universe. Just like that, she just reached up and caught it and loved it forever! John W. Newton IV was born on Christmas (12/25/70) and went home to God on Easter (4/20/25). In the middle, he met and married Kathie (Hart) Newton 5/24/2003. John Worked in the Art Department at Brilliant Electric Sign Co. for 20 years and at Aladdin Signs in Wellsburg, WV for years before that. He enjoyed cars, guns, woodworking, music (especially Metal!), riding bikes, and playing with his dogs. He was met at Heaven's Gate by his mother, Barbara Newton-Swiger, his father John W. Newton III, his grandparents, aunt and uncle, and many beloved pets. The entire procession was led by his favorite dog, Abbie. Still on the blue planet are his brother Joshua Newton and Josh's children, Patience, Joshua, Atreyu, Orin, and Helenea Newton, his dogs Dusty, Fergus and Lola, his cats Gandalf and Max, and a sparkling universe of friends and relatives. His wife Kathie also remains, holding on tight to the memory of that spark from God, her soulmate and best friend forever, though all of time and space. I love you John; see you later.
