Wendell Mike Jones

Wendell Mike Jones became an angel for all those who loved him on Sunday November 28, 2010. Mike was many things to many people – son, brother, husband, father, friend, mentor and role model. Mike was unselfish in his giving to everyone that he loved. His life stands as a tribute to everything that is good and decent. It is with tears in our eyes that we say good bye to the greatest man any of us have ever known. All those that loved him will take the influence Mike had on our lives and will continue to honor him in our actions and deeds.

A Graveside Service will be held at Fairmount Cemetery on Wednesday, December 1, 2010 at 2:00 P.M. Arrangements are under the direction of Johnson’s Funeral Home.

Mike was born on April 26, 1949 to W.M. Jack Jones and Carrie Ruth Jones in Ballinger, Texas. He graduated from San Angelo Central High School in 1967 as well as Angelo State University. It was during this time that Mike met the greatest love of his life – Sandra ‘Bitty’ Bullock. They were married on June 20, 1969. Mike and Bitty were blessed with two children that he loved and cherished Michelle in 1971 and Ryan in 1977. Mike was an accomplished businessman that owned Bullock & Taylor Electric for over 40 years, a talented musician who played in ‘The Remaining Few’ and ‘The Cavaliers’, an award winning photographer as well as a legendary deer camp philosopher.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents W.M. Jack Jones and Carrie Ruth Jones. He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Sandra Jones; daughter Michelle Hester and husband Brian along with his granddaughters Hannah, Bay & Delaney Hester; son Ryan Jones and wife Carrie, all of San Angelo.

The family would like to acknowledge the special treatment given to a special man by Katie Harrison and Hospice of San Angelo as well as the great nurses on the third floor of San Angelo Community Medical Center. Our thanks go out to those who showed the love and compassion to Mike in his last days that he showed others throughout his life.
