Mr. Jerry, as he was commonly referred to by friends, was a life long resident

little of "everything" throughout his life including farming, cotton ginning

something or knowing that he knew something more about you that he always 
remembered.

He was preceded in death by his parents H. T. and Eva Dee Jones, a daughter 
Rhonda Jones Stothart and a granddaughter Jessica VanMatre Schatz.

He is survived by his son Bobby Jones and his wife Debbie of Mangham, LA; 
daughters, Stephanie VanMatre and her husband Barry of Denver, CO, and Rebecca 
Jones of New Light, LA; a sister, Sylvia Jones of Bossier City, LA; the mother 
of his children, Faye Jones of Sicily Island, LA. Known lovingly as "Daddy 
Boy", he is also survived by his grandchildren, Shady, Courtney, Lindsey, 
Kaitlyn, Rob and Will as well as two great grandsons Ben and Roman. Special 
note is made to Betty Cannon, Monroe, LA, his friend of many years.

Pallbearers will be Richard Picou, Jr, Johnny Roy Lambert, Tommy Lowery, Wayne 
Lord, Rickey Donnell and Noble Ellington, Jr.

Honorary pallbearers are Frank Bonner, E. D. Elmore, David Bell, Charles 
Tillman and Jimmy Logan.

Visitation will be from 5:00-7:00 PM Friday and 9 :00 AM until service time 
Saturday at the funeral home.
