Ralph Jones Obituary

There are many things in life we cannot understand, but we must trust in God's judgement and guided by his hand.

And all who have God's blessing can rest safely in his care. For he promised "safe passage" on the wings of faith and prayer.

 Ralph Douglas (Sonny) Jones (95) was born October 26, 1929, in Lavaca County, Texas in Brown Chapel to the late Chester Arthur Jones and Lue Ella Jones. He grew up and attended school in Oakland, Texas. He accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior,

 Ralph (Sonny) loved to build and fix things. He had a profit sharing in duct tape and cable ties. He could repair anything with these two things. (LOL). He served his country in the US Army.

His wife, Katherine, father, mother, son, Karl Adams, grandsons, Rodney Jones and Alzono Davis, brother, Roy Lee Jones, and sister, Marion Robinson preceded him in death.

He leaves to cherish his memories; three daughters, Carolyn Davis, Sharon Burley (Leon), and Marilyn Hart, 10 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren, 17 great-great grandchildren, sister, Geneva Townsend, brother, Chester Jones, numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
