He passed peacefully on December 4th, 2018 in his home in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Thomas was 49 years young. In addition to his parents, Thomas was preceded in death by his grandparents James and Marjorie Owens and Leroy Sr. and Emma Jean Polk Jones; Uncles Leroy Jones Jr., Willie Jones, and Zelmore Jones. Thomas leaves to mourn his loss and cherish his memory, his son Thomas Jones II; brothers LaVendes (Andrea) Jones and Anthony (Carrie) Jones, step-brother John Gray; sisters Brenda Jones, Sandra Byrd, LaVerne (David) Pfromm, and Willisha Byrd; nieces LaTisha Jones, Ashley (Clarence) Fraser, Sophia Jones and Samantha Pfromm; nephews Juyen Jones and Owen Pfromm; great niece Ava Fraser and great nephew Cameron Fraser, aunts and uncles, cousins, and close friends he considered as family. Thomas was the 3rd born of seven children. He had a gift for drawing, he loved and always cooked, listening to music and loved his family deeply and made it known to all that he would do any and everything for them. Whatever he set his heart and mind to do, he always succeeded. Thomas was studying the bible and attending Christian meetings with Jehovah’s Witnesses at the time of his death. He was making changes and working on getting his life in line with his hope in the promise that Jehovah made of being resurrected to life again on a Paradise Earth. Thomas will be missed so much especially his contagious and infectious laugh, his warm hugs and his smile. We love you. From the family The unexpected loss of Thomas has been very difficult time for our family and we would like to thank everyone who reached out to express their care and support with phone calls, text messages, emails, flowers and cards.
