William "Hobe" David Jones

Hobe was a jack of all trades and known to everyone as the one to call in any time of need. He was everything to everybody and will be sadly missed. Anyone that had the privilege of knowing him was blessed indeed. That was the kind of man Hobe was, he was a blessing. The hole that has been left by his death will be felt for all time and his family and friends feel humbled to try to fulfill all the many tasks that he accomplished with ease on a daily basis. His legacy is one of a steadfast obligation to help those that needed help, to be a friend to all, to work hard every day, to love quietly, to be there when no one else would. There will never be another Hobie Jones but if any man would try and be half the man he was they would do the world good. Hobe did the world good.

He is preceded in death by his parents Rev. Bill and Dolly Jones.
