In Loving Memory of Conway Richard Nyxx Newcombe

January 16, 2023- August 24, 2023

 

“Though you were with us for a short while,

Your precious presence brought us endless smiles.

Your memory will forever be our guiding light,

A tiny soul now taken to an eternal flight.”

 

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Conway Richard Nyxx Newcombe, who left us on August 24, 2023 at the tender age of seven months. Conway was loved deeply by family and friends and although Conway’s time on Earth was short, his impact on loved ones will never be forgotten.
