David L. Jones

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of David Lawrence Jones, a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, and a man known for his quiet strength and boundless generosity. David passed away peacefully on October 5, 2025 surrounded by his family who loved and admired him deeply. Born on December 30, 1956, David lived a life defined by hard work, compassion and a steadfast commitment to others. He was the kind of man who would do anything for anyone at any time—without needing to be asked. His loyalty, humility, and willingness to help made him a pillar of strength for all who knew him David proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War, a time that shaped his lifelong sense of duty, discipline, and service to others. Following his military service, David spent many years working at Zero Corporation, where he eventually became Facility Manager, respected for his dedication, knowledge, and steady leadership. Later, he continued his career at MHA, working in facility maintenance to support individuals living with mental illness—a role that spoke to his deeply rooted compassion and desire to make a difference. Outside of work, David found joy in the simple things. He was an avid fisherman, a proud gardener, and above all, a man who treasured time with his family. He was proud of his children and grandchildren and celebrated their accomplishments with a full heart and quiet pride. David is survived by his beloved wife, Kathleen Jones, whom he married on July 17, 1976—a lifetime partnership built on love, respect, and shared devotion to family. He is also survived by his sons Jason Jones (wife Heather) and Eric Jones (wife Camila); and his cherished grandchildren, Pete and Jacob. He is preceded in death by his son, Matthew Jones, who passed away in 2004. David’s legacy will live on in the lives of his family, the friendships he forged, and the countless people he helped along the way. His strength, kindness, and steady presence will be missed more than words can express. Visitation will be held on Thursday, October 9, 2025 from 4-7pm at the Beers & Story Palmer Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held October 10, 2025 at 10am at the funeral home. Family and friends are welcome to gather at 9:30am. Burial will immediately follow.
