Tommy Gloster Newton was born August 1, 1945 in Brazos County to Gloster and Ruby Thornton Newton. He departed this life, January 2, 2020. Tommy grew up in Bryan, Texas on the West side of town and
attended Carver Elementary School. He graduated from E. A. Kemp High
School with the class of 1963. In 1965 he joined the U. S. Navy and served
for two years in San Diego, CA. He then returned to Bryan, Texas and
married Joyce Marie Ellis on December 2, 1967. To this union two sons
were born. After working in grocery retail as a stocker and cashier, he ad-
vanced his career and went to work for Alcoa Aluminum Company in Rock-
dale, Texas. He worked in various positions for 34 years, retiring in 2003.
He attended Blinn College and later worked as a substitute teacher at di-
verse schools in BISD area until he totally retired in 2006. For a short pe-
riod of time, he fulfilled one of his long-held dreams by raising cattle in the
country at the “Newton Ranch” until his health declined.
He will always live inside of our hearts. A family gathering will never let
us forget you. The Lord decided your transition into a land of no mores,
pains and ill wills of this world. We can focus on the goodness of the
Lord’s promised to never leave us. We accept and understand our separa-
tion… Until we meet again! Goodnight our Love!!
