Floyd Raymond Newman

Raymond moved to the Houston area as a toddler with his parents and siblings. As a teenager he met Jackie and they were married in October of 1959. They had four children together. Throughout his years, he worked for Port Terminal Railroad and he was also a perfectionist in his carpentry career. In his mid 40’s, he and his family moved to Pineland, TX where he lived for over 20 years. He lived in Louisiana, Huffman and LaGrange before returning to Pineland in 2019. He never forgot a birthday. He always called whether it was his own children, sons-in-law, grandchildren, siblings or friends. He loved to hunt and fish and tell stories of the past. Music. Music was his all time favorite. He could just about tell you who sang any old country song by the first few notes played.

Raymond is survived by his loving daughters June Newman Darling of La Grange, Rose Langdon and Husband Greg Sr. of Huffman, Glenda Smith and Husband Ken of Pineland and Jeff Darling of Cleveland; sisters Ruth Meyka and Husband Tommy of Mart, Faye Hall and Husband Jimmy of Houston; grandchildren Michael Darling of La Grange, Amber Splawn and husband Paul of La Grange, Greg Langdon Jr. and wife Karina of Cleveland, Keven Smith and wife Vanessa of Hallettsville, Quentin Langdon and Katie Stagg of Huffman, Kory Smith and Kayla Pugh of Inez; great grandchildren Hayden Splawn of La Grange, Kason Splawn of La Grange, Paisley Langdon of Cleveland, Lyla Langdon of Cleveland, Everlee Stagg of Huffman and numerous nieces and nephews.

Raymond is preceded in death by his parents, Jimmie and Nancy Newman, wife Jackie Newman, son Raymond David, brothers James “Son” Newman, Lester Newman, David Newman, Billy Newman, and Cecil “Peanut” Newman.

Pall bearers are Greg Langdon Jr., Keven Smith, Quentin Langdon, Kory Smith, Paul Splawn, Hayden Splawn and Kason Splawn.
