John Jones Obituary
John Charles Jones, 63, of Antwerp, passed away Saturday, June 8, 2024, at his home.
John was born on June 5, 1961 in Hicksville, Ohio, a son of the late Patty (Vandermark) & William Jones.
John dedicated much of his life to his work as a security guard. A devout member of the Antwerp Community Church, he found solace and community within its walls. John had a deep passion for the Ohio State Buckeyes, and he cherished watching his daughters play volleyball, always their biggest supporter. He found joy in the simplicity of fishing and camping, connecting with nature. Though a man of few words, John's kindness spoke volumes, and his love for his family and daughters was unwavering and profound.
He will be sadly missed by his daughters, Tabitha (Austin) & MaKenna (Peyton) Jones; step daughter, Samantha (Kelsey); brothers, Dan (Pat) & David (Lisa); nieces and nephew, Gini, Krystal, & Matthew; & great nephews, Landon, Garrett, & Fred.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Michael, & nephew, Christopher.
A celebration of John's life will be held at the Antwerp Community Church on June 29th at 10:30 AM with visitation one hour prior.
John will be laid to rest privately in Maumee Cemetery.
