Ron Jones Obituary

Ron Jones was a force of nature. His talents were many: he was great with his hands starting with a rebuild of his '56 Chevy as a teenager, then his design and construction of two homes, his bittersweet career as a power plant mechanic, and the undercurrent of countless pieces of art and handmade projects.

He is survived by his two sons, Cory Jones and Jake Jones; his girlfriend, Lori Smith; his sister, Vickee Jones; his daughter-in-law, Tisha Jones; his two granddaughters, Skylar Flaming and Falyn Jones; and great granddaughter, Roslyn Flaming. His cat, Lacey, will continue to hunt mice in his honor.

Family and friends will be celebrating Ron at Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop in Lawrence, KS on Saturday, March 9th from 2-5pm with an exhibit and get together called 'As the Crow Flies: A Tribute to the Life and Art of Ron Jones.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Ron's honor to The Nature Conservancy of Kansas.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I'm sad to see that Ron passed away. I worked with him for many years at the power plant. He was a great friend and very helpful. He was a great insperation. Loved him like a brother. I owed him a lot. He will be greatly missed. I use to call him Hones! Spanish for Jones.
