Steven Leroy Jones, son of Bob and Wilma Jones, was born on August 26, 1952 at Norton County Hospital in Norton, Kansas. He passed away on January 16, 2019 at the age of 66. Steve grew up in Lenora, Kansas where he attended school, and he graduated from Lenora High School in 1970. He briefly attended Goodland Vo-Tech majoring in diesel mechanics before his boss, at a truck stop convinced him to quit, and he would mentor him on the job. Steve worked as a mechanic for several years. Eventually, he moved to Arkansas to enjoy fishing and boating. In 1992, Steve married Kay Werner. After retiring, Steve kept busy traveling and planting an annual garden of tomatoes. He tended to almost 100 tomato plants every year with the produce being shared with friends and neighbors. With retirement time and native rock, he built an outdoor fireplace for heat and cooking. The area around the fireplace became his man cave with a roof, TV, Razorback flag, and a destination spot for neighboring friends to gather.
