Jaylin LeeSean Jones

Jaylin was the “1st born king” to his mother Jennifer Jones and was the proud big brother to Dustin McConnell Jr.. From birth he was surrounded with love by his mother’s friends, many of which he called his aunts, and their children. They were all considered family. Jaylin was a senior at Woodland High School and was employed by Mellow Mushroom. He was a talented athlete, excelling at many sports including basketball, baseball and football in his adolescent years. In his teen years he won many competitions as a cheerleader for Woodland High School and Stingray Allstars. Most recently he found a passion for filmography, special effects makeup, and costume design. At the age of only a teenager he created a character which grabbed the attention of many followers. One of those followers was a talent agency which sought him out to audition for a haunted house in Alabama. We now know that he was chosen for that part.
