Steven M. (Jonesy) Jones
Dec. 15, 1952 ~ April 6, 2019

On April 6, 2019, the world became a little less bright as the light dimmed on one of the greatest men in our lives. Dimmed because his light will never go out. He lives on in everyone who knew him or ever met him. He will now understand how many lives he touched and how many of us loved him beyond words. Losing him from this earthly place fills us with a terrible sadness, but the love in our hearts and the incredible memories will continue to bring a smile to our face as we remember all the yesterdays to help us get through all the tomorrows.

Steve Jones, Uncle Mike, Jonesy, we love you friend, brother, uncle and will miss you every day.

Jonesy was born Dec. 15, 1952, in Ogden, Utah.

He was born with a bad heart and had pioneering open heart surgery at a very young age. Everyone who ever met him agrees that the surgery changed his heart into an open cup of unlimited love that poured out to friends, family and strangers in equal amounts.

He attended Ben Lomond High School, graduating in 1971. He went on to obtain a degree in geography from Weber State College.

He worked many jobs which took him around the Western states before settling in his beloved Cobb Mountain, California, where he lived in his cabin in the woods until it burned to the ground in a forest fire in 2015.

He relocated in Beaver Dam, Arizona, which he used as a base of operations for his many travels until his passing. He also owned a piece of heaven in Southern Utah lovingly referred to as Podunk.

His family will always remember the annual campout he originated in the general vicinity of Podunk and the many adventures we had, both planned and unplanned.

He is survived by friends too numerous to mention in all parts of the country, and by brothers, William (Jackie) of Ogden and Jeff (Emi) of Layton; and sisters, Carol Pearce of Ogden and Katy Wilson of Huntsville Alabama; along with a multitude of nephews and nieces who love him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Dorothy, and father, Marcus Jones of Ogden; and brothers, Dick of Ogden and Jerry (Sharol) of Westminster, Colorado.

He requested no funeral, but small memorial gatherings will be held by friends in Ogden, Cobb, and Beaver Dam in the near future, watch Facebook for details. His ashes will be spread on the Pink Cliffs in Southern Utah overlooking the T Bar J ranch in Podunk.

In lieu of flowers please send peace and love to everyone you know and do something to make a complete stranger's life a little happier today. Thanks, Sue, for the beautiful words.
