LOUIS O "BUTCH" JONES
Lyons - Louis O. (Butch) Jones, age 80, of Lyons much loved husband, father, 
grandfather, and uncle, passed away on February 3,2019.

Lou was known for the twinkle in his eye, and his rascal-like sense of humor 
which was evident even during his stay at the Laurels of Carson. His love of 
reading was apparent in his home, as he had a book-in-progress wherever he 
might sit and piles of books that he purchased and sold online. Additionally, 
he had started a novel, and was adored by his grand-dogs. Prior to falling 
ill, Lou was also a serious do-it-his-selfer, having extensively remodeled 
the original family home n Portland and building his daughter's house, his 
son's house, his final home in Lyons, as well as engaging in many projects. 
He retired from Carson City Lumber Company where he worked as an estimator 
and provided guidance and friendship to many builders and home owners 
throughout his career.

More than anything, he loved his family. He regularly reaffirmed his deep 
love and affection for his wife of nearly 57 years Marga, whom he met' and 
fell in love with while serving in the Air Force, stationed in Germany. And 
his children and grandchildren brought him great joy. He was quoted as saying 
"I love my children, but I REALLY love my grandchidlren." He brought 
guidance, love and laughter to their lives and will be terribly missed.

Lou is survived by the love of his life Marga of Lyons, Children Irene (Doug) 
Shattuck of Lyons, Debra (Gail) Alexander of Summer. Jeff Jones of Lyons. He 
also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren Kurt (Jess Collins) Shattuck of 
Ionia, Kyle, (Chelsea) Shattuck of Plymouth Minnesota, Korey (Erin Handlon) 
Shattuck of Lyons, Kelsey (Ruben) Cardenas of Lyons and his great-
grandchildren Gauge and Layla collins of Ionia; two step-grand-children 
Jessie (Richard) Alexander of Bay City, and Allison (David) Wyrembelski of 
Lapeer; his sister-in-law Ethel Jones, Darlene Jones and Irene (Paul) Reese, 
and many nieces and nephews. 

He was preceded in death  by his parents, Melton Jones and Ruth (Lardy) 
Jones-Toornaar, his brothers Robert Jones, Jack Jones, Thomas Jones, his 
sister Clarice Otte, his sisters-in-law Vivian Jones and Alberta Jones. Louis 
is the last of Ruth and Meldon Jones' children.
