Douglas Kent Newsom, beloved husband and son, went to be with his Lord on March 23, 2024.
Douglas was born in Dallas, Texas on July 17, 1986. He graduated from Highland Park High School in 2005. He then went on to earn a BA degree from Baylor University and then a BSN degree from TWU after which he embarked on his career as a nurse. Being a nurse was a perfect fit for the love, care and compassion Douglas always showed to others and also to animals of every kind. Douglas enjoyed competitive rowing, many world travels and spending time with his family. He earned the rank of Eagle Scout for which he was always proud. Douglas was a long-time member of Wilshire Baptist Church.
Douglas is survived by his wife, Rosa Morin Newsom, and parents, Vicki and Kent Newsom, all of Dallas; his uncles, Kirk Newsom (Lynn) and David Newsom (Jane); along with his very close family of many cousins.
