SHERMAN, TX – Roger Wolcott Newton, 58, of Lewisville, TX died in an auto accident on December 29, 2017. He was the son of the late Rev. Seth W. Newton, and is survived by his mother, Helen R. Newton, of Mashpee, MA. Roger leaves three brothers, Seth H. Newton of Franklin, MA; Andrew D. Newton and his wife Sherri of Bluffton, SC; Tyler F. Newton and his wife Karen of Fredericksburg, VA; and his sister, Barbara P. Manchester, and her husband Thomas of Falmouth, MA.

I lost my best friend on December 29th. Our family will never be the same with his absence. My girls and I loved him dearly. His humor and kindness will forever be treasured. Eight years was not nearly enough time together.
Miss you and love you forever Roger.

Uncle Roger was so much fun to be around. He was always excited to talk about anything from world events to the benefits of daily vitamins. His amusement and enthusiasm for life was contagious and will continue to be even as we remember him.
