Jeffery Barrett Newton

We are so sorry that we did not know of Jeffs massing or we would have been there with you. We loved him and felt so honored when we were invited to his Eagle Court of Honor. He truely was a special young man with a super family. We know you will miss him and so will we. Love , Al and Lois Kieffer

What a joy it was to know Jeff! His ebullient, effervescent personality and great, gentle spirit warmed my soul. I am thankful he recognized me as a friend. He was genuinely proud of his many accomplishments. I remember how he showed us his Special Olympics medals each time we visited. We never tired of his guileless enthusiasm and amazing zest for life.
There will be an overwhelming void in your lives without his boisterous personality but imagine the rejoicings in Heaven where I...

To Chuck, Denae & Family
As a missionary Chuck Newton and his companion lived in my home. As a grateful traveller Chuck & Denae opened their home to my Sister Irene and my wife Diane & I and there we were blessed to experience Jeff, his family and as others have shared the unconditional love that existed in that home. Having recently lost my Mother Chuck we feel for you and your family and send from a distance the love of the Gospel which, were it not for you we may never have known. I...

Jeff was a wonderful man, a gentle spirit and always had kind words for everyone he met. I know the world is a sadder place now that he has moved on. God bless you Jeff.

Dear Newton Family,

I was saddened to hear the news of Jeff’s passing. Indeed his life was a light that made the world so much brighter. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to know Jeff!
He always made me smile. Jeff didn’t know a stranger. He was always happy to see me, and I’m sure that’s how he was with everyone he knew.
At school, he never hesitated to greet me with an enthusiastic “WARB”!!! (Rob) along with a great big hug. One of my favorite memories of Jeff when...

Chuck and DeNae,
My memories of Jeff are limited, but I do remember how happy and friendly he always was. I wish I could have made it to the funeral. I truly wanted to be there and felt badly that I ended up not being able to make it. Thank you for thinking about us and asking us to sing, I hope you were able to find a replacement quickly. I am sorry for your loss, Jeff was (and still is) a very special person. He was blessed to have such caring and wonderful parents!!
Love,...

Jeff is my hero, i have learned so much from him. I have learned to always look at the brighter side of life. I have learned to always give more than i take. Too never judge. How to clean, too dance and how too put others before myself. Jeff truly is a angel and his memories will always carry on.

I remember Jeff from working with Chuck, and Craig at Self's Foodtown. Jeff would come in and help everyone in the store. This was about 23 years ago, and I will never forget his passion for life and his ability and willingness to give.

The services held for Jeff were very touching. It gave me strength and reminded me to invest in our family. Thank you for the wonderful life you gave to Jeff and to all that will remember him.

Regards,
