David Lee

Jones

Our beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend entered this world on September 12, 1960, in Fulton, MS to proud parents, the late Arthur Jones and the late Mattie B. Jones.

He attended public school in Fulton, MS where he was an outstanding basketball player. He went on to attend Itawamba Community College where he continued to be great in the basketball arena. He enjoyed playing the guitar and singing, listening to music, and cheering on his favorite teams, Alabama Crimson Tide and the Green Bay Packers. He was employed by several local businesses. He also loved repairing houses and cars, and detailing cars.

On October 1, in the comfort of his earthly home, he answered the call of God to depart this world and enter his everlasting resting place. He will forever be remembered in the hearts of his loved ones: four daughters: Delisha James of Tupelo; Jasmine Shumpert of Tupelo; Jalan Shumpert of Tupelo; and Jada Shumpert of Birmingham, AL. Three sons: David Jones, Jr. of Fulton; Marcus Strode of Tupelo; Chalandre Daniels of Tupelo. Two sisters: Ruthy Jones of Jackson; Classie B. Crayton of Flint, Michigan. Six brothers: Paul Jones of Fulton; John Edd Jones of Tupelo; Walter Lee Jones of Flint, Michigan; Arthur L. Jones of Flint, Michigan; Bishop James Harkins of Sumterville, Florida; and Curtis Lee Crayton of Flint, Michigan. Seven grandchildren; many loving aunts; cousins, uncles, nephews, nieces and a host of other relatives and friends.
