Jerry was a proud veteran of the United States Navy. He retired from Northwestern Schools in Howard County, Indiana. He enjoyed working with his hands, especially building things from wood and making fishing lures. He loved to fish and had many great memories of trips to Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee with his two sons. When he wasn\u2019t fishing, you could find him on a golf course. Even in recent years when he could no longer play, he enjoyed watching the opens on TV.\r\n\r\nJerry was a master on a grill. He loved to BBQ for his family and friends. You couldn\u2019t have found a man more devoted to his family than he was. He always gave his very best, which is more than they could have asked for.\r\n\r\nAbove all else, he was devoted to God. He had read the Bible from cover to cover several times. He was a faithful member of Zion Chapel Church in Peru, Indiana and rarely missed a Sunday service if he could help it.\r\n\r\nSurvivors include his loving son, Jeff (Mary) Jones, grandsons, Dustin Jones (Cassie Herrick), Braxton (Codi) Jones, granddaughters, Bobbi (Marcus) Brown, Kasey (Jamie) Williams, Sara Anderson, and Kelly (Marlin) Kuhns. There are also several great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Also surviving is his dog, Lola whom he loved and spoiled rotten.\r\n\r\nBesides his parents and wife, he was also preceded in death by his sister, Geda Garling, his brother, Ernest \u201cLeon\u201d Jones, and a son Jerry Lee Jones II.\r\n\r\nA celebration of life will be held at Zion Chapel Church on Saturday, May 31, 2025. Friends and family may call between 10am and 12pm with the service beginning at 12pm with Pastor Rod Correll officiating. Military honors will be provided by the Miami County Military Rites Team.\r\n\r\nMemorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society, P. O. Box 681405, Indianapolis, Indiana 46268-1405 and Wounded Warrior Project, P.O. Box 758516, Topeka, Kansas 66675-8516.\r\n\r\nLocal arrangements have been entrusted to Flowers-Leedy Funeral Home.
