Fig was born July 3, 1946 in Adrian, Michigan to Ray and Ruth (Poucher) Newton, and passed away Sunday, July 24, 2022 in Oklahoma City.
Fig spent 21 years in the United States Air Force, during which time he served his country in the Vietnam War.

Fig took great pleasure in being a member of AMBUCS and as a volunteer coach for the Enid High School Football and Baseball programs. In recent years, Fig has been active in the Air Force Association and the Vance Development Authority. Fig was a very proud member of Central Christian Church.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Barbara (Drum) Newton; two sisters, Rosaland Coyffer and Ruth Smith.
