We are filled with sadness as we announce the birth and death of our sweet son, Ira Thomas Newman. Ira was silently born on December 30, 2022, at 3:08 AM. Ira, Katie, and Kelly were surrounded by his grandparents: Ted and Wenda Schultz and Rick and Joyce Newman, as well as his aunts and uncles: Craig, Cleo, and Karleigh Schultz, Rick Newman Jr. and Amy Piepgrass, and Amanda Ledoux. He was a beautiful, perfect baby who will always live on in our hearts. We take comfort in knowing Ira Thomas is now watching over us.
Following cremation, the family will hold private services for Ira. The Peabody Funeral Homes are assisting the family with arrangements.
