David Lee Jones

December 26, 1948 — August 27, 2017

David Lee Jones was born December 26, 1948 to Joseph Jones and Pearlie Mae Briggs Jones in Cross Anchor, South Carolina. At a young age, David joined the United States Army and began his first of many active duty assignments at Fort Leonardwood, Missouri. During his enlistment, he earned numerous decorations and citations including the Meritorious Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with Three Stars, Overseas Service Ribbon, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, and U.S. Army Gold Recruiter Badge, just to name a few. After retiring from a 20-career of honorable service to his country, David furthered his education by obtaining a bachelor’s degree from Ohio Dominican University in Columbus, Ohio. He was employed seventeen years with the Columbus City Schools as an ROTC Instructor at South High School. He attended Trinity Baptist Church and was a longtime, active member of VFW Post 3764 (Livingston Avenue), where he most recently served as it’s Commander. On August 28, 2017, at the age of 68, David departed from this life after a brief illness. His parents preceded him in death. Those who remain to cherish memories of David include his loving wife Barbara A. Jones; son Ricky Jones of Seattle, Washington; two grandchildren; stepchildren, Kathryn (Marshall) Robinson, Frankie Lee, and Kim Lee; Briggs Family of Cross Anchor, South Carolina; and a host of other relatives and friends.
