Phillip Wesley Newman passed away peacefully at his home in Huntsville, Alabama on June 22, 2020, after a year-long battle with cancer. He was 26 years old and had recently celebrated his fifth anniversary with his beloved wife, Ana Newman.

Phillip was born on February 12, 1994 in Huntsville, Alabama to parents Jeff and Susan Newman of Greenville, Kentucky.
