John Patrick "Johnny" Newman, Iii

January 9, 1963 — September 6, 2021

John Patrick Newman, III, beloved husband, brother, son and friend, passed away on September 6, 2021 at the age of 58. Johnny was born in New Orleans, LA on January 9, 1963. As a young boy, Johnny found a love of football while playing for the NORD Saints and continued that love as a Brother Martin Crusader. In 1992, Johnny met and fell in love with Gwen, “Peppy”, and they were happily married for 23 years. Over the years, he created several businesses with his greatest commercial accomplishment being founder and owner of Standard Boat Services, LLC. He was an avid New Orleans Saints fan who enjoyed going to the games with family and friends since 1967. Always known for throwing parties and seafood boils at his home, one of his favorite celebrations was hosting the 2009 Superbowl party. Although he battled carcinoid cancer for 20 years, it didn’t stop him from enjoying life and pursuing his dreams. Johnny will be fondly remembered for his humor, generous spirit, and joy of life. Johnny was preceded in death by his parents, John Patrick Newman, Jr. and Lena Spalitta Newman; his stepbrother, Jerome Patrick Riehl and nephew, Daniel Patrick Andre. He is survived by his wife, Gwendolyn Baylis; stepmother, Alice R. Newman; sisters, Patricia Newman Andre and Jacquelyn Newman Tavlin (Dan), Timothy Riehl (Faith), Nicole Riehl Byrnes (John), Armand F. Riehl (Sunny); nephews, Albert F. “Trey” Andre and Christopher John Andre and many other nieces, nephews and cousins. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at the University of Kentucky Albert B. Chandler Hospital and Bluegrass Hospice Care in Lexington, KY for their care and support. Also, a special thank you to Maria Chester for her unwavering love and care. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in the memory of John Patrick Newman, III to the Bluegrass Hospice Care of Lexington, KY or the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation.
