Jeff Andrew Newman

Jeff Andrew Newman, 58, of Great Falls, passed away on Saturday, November 26, 2022.  Per his wishes no services will be held.  Cremation has been entrusted to Croxford Funeral Home. 

Born June 28, 1964, in Bremerhaven Germany as a US citizen to Daniel R. and Jo Ann (Gubert) Newman, Jeff grew up in a military family that moved around a lot.  The family lived in Hammond, LA, Anchorage, AK, San Angelo, TX, Burke, VA, Brandon, FL and Great Falls, MT.  Jeff graduated from high school while in Burke, VA, attending Lake Braddock Secondary School.  He participated in the marching band and the symphonic orchestra playing the tuba. 

While at Lake Braddock Secondary School he graduated from their culinary arts training program.  This would lead to a career as Head Chef for the Service American Corp in multiple locations in Virginia and Washington DC.  He was also Head Chef for Giant Food Inc. at multiple locations in VA, MD and DC as well as Head Chef for Shirley’s Catering in Burke, VA.  When he moved to Great Falls, he started a new career working for the United States Postal Service until his passing.

Jeff had a true love for cooking, but that didn’t define him.  He was interested in music engineering and acoustics, computer assembly, software and gaming.  Most recently he had developed a passion for off road vehicles and camping.

Survivors include his father, Daniel R. Newman of Great Falls; brother, Jay M. Newman of Burke, VA; sister, Ann Lynde of Great Falls.  He was preceded in death by his mother, Jo Ann Newman.
