September 25, 1966 - December 14, 2021

John Harold Newman, Jr. passed away on December 14, 2021, at Lake Regional Hospital in Osage Beach, Missouri, surrounded by family. John was born September 25, 1966, to John Harold Newman, Sr. and Sandra Ann Newman in Beardstown, Illinois. John married Renee Hardey on December 30, 1994, at Second Baptist Church in Versailles, Missouri. John was a devoted husband, admirable father, devoted grandfather, and selfless friend. His love for his family outshone in everything he did. John was a hard-working man who would give anyone the shirt off his back. If anyone was in need, he would go out of his way to help them. Early in life, John enjoyed derbies where he would compete. Racing cars came next as he enjoyed the speed and agility he had on the racetrack. John proceeded to ride bikes in his older years with his wife Renee by his side. He loved to ride his bike, drink beer, race cars, and raise hell wherever he went. John is survived by his wife, Renee Newman of the home; daughters, Ashley Everett of Oak City, North Carolina, Megan Newman of Versailles, Missouri and Hannah Triplet and husband Peyton and their children McKenzie and Weston Triplet all of Versailles, Missouri; son, Matthew Yoder of Laurie, Missouri and his children, Natalie, Micah, and Leroy Yoder all of Versailles, Missouri; brothers, Michael and Roy Newman; brother-in-law, Ed Hardey and wife Marge of Versailles, Missouri; sister-in-law, Linda Hardey of Boonville, Missouri and many aunts, uncles and cousins. John was preceded in death by his parents, John Harold Newman, Sr. and Sandra Ann Newman; son-in-law, Timothy Norman Everett, II and grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. John will live on in the memory of many family members and friends.
