Kevin I. Newby

JEFFERSONVILLE, GA

With broken hearts, we share the passing of our beloved Kevin Ivey Newby, who left us on Friday, August 7, 2026, in Savannah, Georgia, at the age of 38.

Kevin was born in Macon, Georgia, and spent his life in Middle Georgia. He was a hardworking man who took pride in his work as a heavy equipment operator with Sellers Construction. But to those who loved him, Kevin was so much more than his job. He was a son, a father, a brother, an uncle, a nephew, a cousin, and a friend who will be deeply missed.

Kevin leaves behind his two precious daughters, Carly and Mileigh. He is also survived by his mother, Robin (Rusty) McGuffin; his father, Jesse (Sissy) Newby; his brother, Jerry (Nicki) Newby and their children, Addy and Jax; his sister, Haley (Dylan) McGuffin; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who loved him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Roland E. “R.E.” and Catherine Nobles and Jerome L. “Sonny” and Tinie Newby.

There are no words that can truly express the pain of losing Kevin. His absence leaves a space in our family that can never be filled. We will hold close the memories we shared, the moments that made us laugh, and the love that will remain with us always.

Services will be held Monday, August 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM at Reece Funeral Home in Jeffersonville, Georgia. Burial will follow at Lee Cemetery in Twiggs County. Elder Sam Bryant and Rev. Levi Carpenter will officiate.

The family will receive friends from 1:00–2:00 PM before the service at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Kevin’s memory to benefit his two daughters, C/O State Bank of Cochran, 112 Beech St., Cochran, GA 31014.

Rest peacefully, Kevin. You will be loved, remembered, and missed more than words can ever say.
