He is survived by his wife of 24 years, Beth Jones; his sister, Katie Schwab of Salt Lake City, Utah; his brothers, Marty (Crystal) Jones and Richard (Clara) Jones, all of Johnstown, Colo.; plus extended family, including a loving and supportive group of friends that he cherished. He was preceded in death by his father, George Jones; mother Beth Ann Whitmore; brother Jim Jones and sister Claire McTiernan Rich.

Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, 2017, at Real Life Ministries in Post Falls, Idaho, in the upper room of the main building, RLM 1.
