The following is the obituary for Scobey. Procession details will be sent out to all agencies soon.

Charles P.B. “Scobey” Newman, 65, passed away Tuesday, August 1, 2023, after a courageous battle of cancer. He was born on February 10, 1958 in Knoxville, TN. He is survived by Lynette Newman Johnson, mother; Charles P.B. “Trip” Newman III, son; Nicholas Xander Newman, son; Haley Elizabeth Newman Brown, daughter (Derek); two granddaughters, two grandsons and one great grandson. Jay Scott Newman, brother (Beth); Kevin Newman, brother (Pam). Two nieces and two nephews. Doris Newman, aunt and several cousins. He was preceded in death by Charles P.B. Newman, Sr., father; Steven Newman, son; Thelma Longmire, grandmother; Claude Newman, grandfather; Mary Newman, grandmother (James Sheldon) and Charles Andrew Newman, nephew.
For over forty years, Scobey Newman was a servant to the medical field in East Tennessee and has devoted his entire life to Jesus Christ. Scobey first began his time with HCEMS in the 1990’s as a part time paramedic while still employed full time with Erlanger’s LifeForce air medical program. At the conclusion of his flight career, Scobey then joined HCEMS full time in 2009. He obtained his EMT license in 1978 and then his Paramedic license in 1981, and his work history includes service with Monroe County EMS, Knox County Ambulance Service, Rural Metro in Knoxville, East Tennessee EMS, Meigs County EMS, Bradley County EMS, Hutchison EMS, Life Guard Ambulance, Puckett EMS, Grandview EMS, Baptist Med Flight in Knoxville, Erlanger LifeForce, Hamilton County EMS
His kindness, selflessness, compassion and dedication to Emergency Medicine is evident in every interaction with his EMS co-workers, friends, family and patients. Scobey touched so many lives in his community and inspired the minds of many healthcare professionals. He was a humble man offering help to anyone, which he delivered with an unmatched passion of care and kindness. Many medical professionals accredit Scobey to their gain of knowledge in emergency medicine and their determination to avoid failure.
A celebration of Scobey’s life will be held on Monday, August 21, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. at Bayside Baptist Church located at 6100 TN-58, Harrison, TN 37341 and officiating by Chaplain Jim Lewis.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to: SEEMSDA Paramedic Scholarship fund at 1301 Riverfront Parkway, Suite 209, Chattanooga TN 37402.

It's a sad day for EMS across the region. There will never be another Scobey Newman. We can only hope that his positivity and compassion lives on with everyone that looked up to him.
Thank you to his family for sharing him with the world...he made an amazing difference! Our thoughts and prayers are with you! ❤️

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of HCEMS Paramedic Scobey Newman. Scobey lost his long battle with cancer today while surrounded by family.
This news is also devastating to all of us in his EMS,emergency services, and hospital family. It is somewhat comforting to know that Scobey was able to see most of the pictures, comments, stories, and the overwhelming support in general from everyone over the past week.
He will be transported and escorted today by HCEMS and Hamilton County Sheriff's Office - TN.
Full funeral details will be released when finalized.
