JEFF’S STORY

A child of God, born and raised in Manhattan Beach, California, Jeff Newell is blessed with two beautiful daughters: Amanda, twenty-seven, and Kylie, twenty-five. Jeff also has a twin brother, Greg Newell, two sisters, Lynn Hayward and Nadine Newell, and his parents, Judy Ernst and Val Newell, also reside in Southern California. As a Tennis coach for children (10 and under), Jeff runs a TennisKids business that brings Tennis to private preschools and currently serves over 350 students in Los Angeles and Orange counties. He is blessed and gets great JOY from serving as a Deacon at Faith Community Church in Compton. When Jeff learned he needed a heart transplant, he almost lost time with his beautiful family. However, God gave him a second chance at life when he received a heart transplant in 2020. Jeff's donor, Scott Hultman, is honored as a floragraph on the 2024 OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade float.
