Dear Mrs. Bitetti and Family,
On behalf of the Newport Beach City Council and our entire community, I want to extend our
deepest condolences on the passing of Jeffrey John Bitetti. At our Council meeting last
night, we adjourned in his memory, a small gesture to honor a man whose life left such a
meaningful imprint on our city and on all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Jeffs story is one of passion, faith, and service, from his early days growing up in Newport
Beach to his remarkable achievements in sports, music, and business. His leadership on
and off the field, his creative spirit, and his generosity toward others reflected the very best
of our community's values. Whether through his work with local charities, his mentorship of
young people, or the deep love he had for his family and friends, Jeff embodied kindness
and purpose in all that he did.
We are especially moved by the legacy he leaves through his family, his beloved wife
Gerrette, and his sons Dominic, Dante, and Damien. His commitment to faith, family, and
community continues through each of them, and through the many lives he touched.
Please know that the thoughts and prayers of the Newport Beach City Council and our
residents are with you during this difficult time. We share in your sorrow, and we also share
in the gratitude for a life so well -lived.
With heartfelt sympathy,
L�
