It is with great sadness we must announce that our father Donald Horton Jones fell asleep in death on March 1, 2024 at 92 years old. He leaves behind two daughters, Donna Jones Silessi (Frank) and Darlene Jones Turner, four grandchildren, Trudy Offner Barnett (Stephen Binning), Peter Silessi (Allison), Jennifer Silessi Labbe (Stephen) and Jason Silessi (Amber), and seven great grandchildren who will all miss him dearly. He was preceded in death by his wife of 50 years Paula Rodriguez Jones, father Horton Jones, mother Thelma Sanders Jones, sister Imelda (Rita) Tlapa, and brother Paul Hampton Jones.

We would love for those who knew him to remember his life with us at McKneely Funeral Home in Amite, LA on Saturday, March 9, 2024. A wake will begin at 11:00AM with funeral services following at 1:00PM. Interment will be at Woodland Cemetery in Kentwood.

Special thanks to the staff of ACG Hospice for the loving care they provided in Dad's last days.

And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. - Rev. 21:4.
