In Loving Memory of Alan Newton
November 13, 1965 – July 31, 2025
Alan Newton entered this world as a miracle—the first baby in Utah to survive multiple blood transfusions in utero. That miraculous beginning wasn’t just a medical milestone; it was a glimpse into the kind of person Alan would become: resilient, extraordinary, and full of life.
Born to Reed Y. Newton and Cora E.M. Newton, Alan was a man of many talents and boundless curiosity. A self-taught learner and true jack of all trades, he approached life with the belief that anything worth doing was worth learning—and doing well. Whether it was fixing a car, installing HVAC systems, or diving deep into complex computer programming, Alan's mindset was always: “Why pay someone else when I can figure it out?”
Alan’s career was as diverse and remarkable as he was. From delivering newspapers as a young boy to becoming a back-end programmer who could solve problems that stumped entire teams, Alan’s analytical mind and sharp instincts stood out. He also worked in real estate, served as a CFO, and wore many professional hats—but his most cherished and important role was that of a devoted husband and father.
Alan’s love for his family was unwavering. He lit up when he spoke about his children, always their biggest supporter and most enthusiastic champion. If his children had a gift or a dream, Alan was there—nurturing their talents, expressing confidence in their potential, and making sure they felt seen and valued. His love was active, daily, and deeply intentional.
Known for his quick wit and love of humor, Alan could turn almost any moment into a classic dad joke. He had a gift for laughter and loved nothing more than sharing it with those around him. He relished traveling with his family and embraced every opportunity to create memories with them. Alan didn’t just live—he lived fully.
A man of deep faith, Alan served an LDS mission to Guam and remained a devoted member of his church throughout his life. His faith was not only a foundation but a compass, guiding how he treated others and lived each day with purpose.
To us, Alan was the one you could always count on. If you mentioned a need, he didn’t forget it—he acted. Whether it was finding the best deal, offering his time and skills, or simply being a steady, caring presence, Alan showed up. Every time. That reliability, paired with his immense heart, made him irreplaceable.
While we grieve at his passing, we take comfort in knowing he is free of the physical struggles that burdened him in his final days. We believe he is now reunited with his parents, numerous loved ones who went before him—already organizing, preparing, and making sure every detail is perfect for when we see him again. Knowing Alan, he’s not just saving us a seat; he has already started building our homes.
He is preceded in death by his father, Reed Y. Newton, mother, Cora E.M. Newton
Alan is survived by his beloved wife, Vicky Newton; his children, son, William Newton, daughters, Keira Newton, Ali Newton, Rebekah Newton; his beloved sister, Jodie Jensen (Nathan). Nieces and nephews, brother, Dale M. Newton (Cindy).
While there is a hole in our hearts that can never be filled, the legacy Alan leaves behind will live on forever in the hearts of his family. His love, unwavering, constant, and deeply rooted—will continue to surround us. We know he will be with us in every special moment, every quiet triumph, and every shared laugh. His spirit, his voice, and his love will echo through our lives always.
We love you, Alan. Forever and always.
Funeral Service will be held at 11:00am Tuesday August 12, 2025 at the LDS Church located at 9575 S 3100 E, Sandy,Utah.
So beautifully written. Vicky, our love and prayers are for you and your precious children. I felt so blessed to be able to converse with Alan just a week before his passing. He was positive, honest, and had a sense of humor in regards to his situation. I have no doubt that he is forever grateful for the selfless, loving care you gave him. God will bless you.
Love, Craig and Linda Hendry
