Born on February 17, 1960, in Martinsburg, he is preceded in death by his parents, John Edward and Jule Delia Jones; and younger brother, Roger Lowell Jones.
Lee was a compassionate soul and hard-worker, working as long as he’s grown a mustache at the ripe age of early teen hood. He served as the Food Service Supervisor at the Martinsburg VA Medical Center for over 17 years. Previously he was lovingly known as “Mr. Jones,” the manager of McDonalds and Denny’s Restaurants.
Lee was a man of many talents and interests, including casually picking the guitar and several other instruments he learned to play by ear, listening to classic rock, cooking, collecting quirky antiques, fishing, trying his luck at Atlantic City Resorts and cruising around in his truck. He earned his Black Belt in 1992 and was an instructor at Smith's Karate. He was a steadfast Redskins fan through thick and thin. Loved ones knew him as hilarious, loving, good-hearted, while friends knew him as nurturing, reliable, and honest. He had the kindest eyes and a heart of gold.
His loving memory is survived by daughter, Samantha Lee Jones and significant other, Derek Shives of Needmore, Pennsylvania; sisters: Darlene Miller, Shirley Funk, and Linda Davis of Berkeley County; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He will be greatly missed by countless people.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lee’s favorite organization, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Friends will be received at Rosedale Funeral Home on Friday from 11am until the time of the funeral service at noon. Private interment will be in Rosedale Cemetery.
