Gordon Allan Jones

Gordon was born on September 27, 1954 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Denver, CO to Dudley and Mary. He graduated from Johnson High School in 1972 in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Throughout his early years, he lived in several states, before finally settling back in Colorado, where he met his wife, Keta Lockhart. Gordon and Keta were married for 41 years, and were blessed with four children, Amanda, Andrew, Jeremy and Katasha.

He had a love for learning new things and solving problems. This led him to various jobs over the years, but his true passion was driving trucks, which he learned to drive from his father-in-law to be.

His love of motorcycles, motors, cars and mechanics was formed in his High School years. With his mechanical and problem solving ability, he designed and built his own winch trucks and launched his own business, Jones Transportation, Inc., which he operated for 23 years. Gordon was able to do things in a semi that would make most people marvel.

Gordon had a passion for food, and as an accomplished cook he enjoyed sharing his culinary talents with family and friends. He loved being around people, and made friends everywhere he went. His positive outlook was a driving force in his life, and he had the ability to see the needs of others and formulate a plan of action. He will be remembered by many for his countless acts of kindness.

A major cornerstone in Gordon’s life was his decision to serve God. His faith, commitment and service to the Lord was an encouragement to family and friends.

Gordon is preceded in death by his parents, Dudley Jones and Mary Gelhaye; and mother-in-law, Betty Lockhart. He is survived by his wife, Keta; children Amanda, Andrew, Jeremy, and Katasha (Cody); sisters, Bea Klemmensen (Matt), and Jamie Mitchell (Andy); father-in-law Melvin Lockhart; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Greg Lockhart (Pat), Kent Lockhart, Tracy Lockhart (Julie), Kelle Hart (John), and Debbie Deshazer; numerous nieces and nephews.
