My deepest sympathy goes out to you Dot and the entire Jones family on the passing of a very special man.

I have childhood memories of  both Marvin and our other first cousin, James Adams Jr. (deceased) playing their alto and tenor saxophones.  I thought they were amazing, though I had no clue what constituted good music.  I was the youngest cousin and loved every minute of being babied by them.

In loving memory of Rev. Marvin Jones Sr. and with condolences to his family and friends;  I will always have beautiful memories of you, Marvin and wonderful memories at holiday  dinners when our aunt, Ruby Shephard, would cook the most delicious desserts - sweet potato  pies, cakes, cookies,  and allow us to eat our desserts before our meals.  - Your First Cousin, Ann Pittman Neal, Windsor Locks, CT

May the many beautiful memories created during  Marvin's lifetime bring you comfort and peace during this time.  We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers as we remember the "good ole days" in the neighborhood. The Benton Family, Dawson, GA

To my auntie Dorothy and cousins Stephanie, Jacqueline, Marvin Jr and families. I send my love and condolences during this difficult time 🙏 😢
