Darrell "Skoal" Lee Jones of Gadsden, AL, age 58, passed away at St. Vincent's East Memorial Hospital on October 6, 2023, after a courageous battle with cancer. His strength and positivity throughout his illness were an inspiration to all who knew and loved him.
He was a 1983 graduate of Gaston High School. At age 23 Darrell met and married Diana Michelle Adcock, the love of his life. He worked for 35 years as an HVAC and Maintenance Technician before leaving the industry to spend more time with his family.
Darrell was always the life of the party and loved to make people laugh. He found joy in the simple things in life like watching cartoons with his kids, going on hikes, and playing old country songs on his guitar. He was a loving husband and father and his loss has left a huge hole in the lives of all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, Diana, their daughter, Charity Jones, and their son, Cody Jones. He is also survived by his sister Beverly Kay Gue (Joe Gue), his loving in laws, David and Diane Adcock, his brother in law David Dale Adcock (Consuela Adcock), and many nieces, nephews, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Annie Leona Frederick and Horace Jones Jr., and his sisters Angela Darlene Gutierres, Frances Diane Walker, and Mellissa Marie Beecham.
