JOHN JONES Obituary
Mr. John T. Jones was born to William Andrew Jones, Sr. and Ethel Mae Barnes Jones on May 2, 1956. He transitioned from labor to reward on January 10, 2020.
He confessed to his belief in God as his Savior. He knew that grace and mercy would follow him all the days of his life.
John was a humble man. He would help anybody without looking for anything in return. He was quiet and stayed to himself. He showed unconditional love to his mother and sister. He truly was a brother that everybody needed. He was a graduate of Petersburg High School, Class of 1977. He also was educated in the Prince George Public Schools.
John was employed at Rawles-Aden, Farmer Street Store, Petersburg Box & Lumber Company, Butterworth's Furniture and Prince George Public School.
John really and truly will be missed. He was happy as long as he was helping somebody else. He filled in for his sister when she needed him to sit with their mother allowing her to attend church services. He was an all-around nice guy.
He was preceded in death by his father, William A. Jones, Sr.; grandparents; nephew, Roy L. Jones, Jr. and brother-in-law, Jeffrey King.
John leaves his precious memories: mother, Ethel M. Jones; a devoted sister, Lorraine J. King; brothers, Roy L. Jones, Sr. (Evelyn), and devoted William Jones, Jr.; aunt, Nannie Adkins; nieces, devoted Juniesha Williams (who stole his heart), Lakeii William-Jackson (Hurly Jr.), Paqwii Williams, Karesha Jones-Williams, and Christina Raines; nephew, Jeremy Raines; best friend, Waverly Davis; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends too numerous to name.

John Timothy Jones was a caring, compassionate, humble, gentle, giving and kind ✝ Christian man. A light that is gone much too soon. We thank God for his earthly journey and sharing his life, light and love with us, individually and collectively. ❤

John was everything that has already been mentioned, generous, hard working, humble, giving, quiet, gentle spirit and loved his mother, devoted and compassionate sister Lorraine & his brothers William Jr. and Roy, Aunts, scores of nieces, nephews, cousins. John Timothy fought a good fight, kept the faith and finished his course. We all are surely gonna miss him, a already missing you. Now, my beloved cousin nothing but goodness and mercy shall follow you and you shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
May Gods love, the peace of Christ and the comfort of the Holy Spirit be with Aunt Ethel, Lorraine, Roy and William Jr. (Junie) - Barnes and Jones family during this difficult time.
