Levell Jones Jr

With profound sadness and the deepest respect, we announce the passing of our beloved father, Levell Jones Jr., whose life was defined by service, generosity, dignity, and unconditional love for his family. He departed this life peacefully in Minneapolis, Minnesota, surrounded by loved ones. Born in Jasper County, Mississippi in 1938, Levell moved to Minnesota in 1959 at the age of 21, seeking greater opportunity and a better life. He began his journey working at a golf course near St. Louis Park before joining Old Dutch Foods, where he dedicated 50 years of service. Starting on the night shift maintenance crew, he became known for his perfect attendance, punctuality, and commitment. He also enjoyed playing on the company’s softball team and witnessed the company’s growth, including its move to Roseville after a fire in 1965. Levell married Laura Louise Evans in 1964 at the Minneapolis Courthouse, and together they built a loving home and raised two children. He was also a devoted father to his eldest son, from a previous relationship, and cherished all three of his children deeply. After retiring in 2009, Levell remained active in his community. In 2016, he created and organized the bid whist group at the Sabathani Community Center's senior program, where he enjoyed playing with friends every Friday. He was a provider, a protector, and a friend to all who knew him. His wisdom, quiet strength, and unwavering support were gifts he gave freely to those around him. Levell is survived by his wife Laura, their children, grandchildren, and a host of extended family and friends who will carry forward his legacy of love and resilience.
