John M. Jones

Life Story John Maurice Jones was born on June 14, 1962, to Willie Davis and Juanita Thompson. They didn’t know that their baby boy was born with a special gift in his hands that he’d share with his family, friends and Community. After a lengthy bout with medical conditions our beloved John set his toolbox aside and passed quietly in his sleep at his home in Chester, Pa on March 2nd, 2024. John was educated in the Chester, Pa School District. After graduating from Chester High School, he explored career opportunities at Job Corps. With his gifted hands there were many skills he acquired. John worked various jobs where his skillset could be utilized, and his work ethic appreciated. He worked at Trash To Steam, Soccer Stadium and Sam and Sams. His last position was grounds keeper at Haven Memorial Cemetary where he kept the grounds well-manicured. John always put everyone else before himself. He was the epitomy of a man that wanted to help others in need. He would put himself last. He was a caregiver to his lifetime companion Helen and did not do so begrudgingly, but with l0ve and care. His sister recalled that when they were younger, they had a radio that would not work. John took the radio apart piece by piece, put it back together and it was good as new! She and her husband would call him to put things together and he got the job done. John was known as Mr. Fix it! His daughter said, she never had to call a maintenance man. He could fix everything! She wanted him to come to Georgia to supervise repairs on her home and he wanted to go, but his health prevented him from making the trip. John was not the type of person that liked dressing up and refused to for his daughter’s 30th Birthday Party. He showed up in his signature white shell top and black pants. It didn’t matter that he didn’t dress up, because he always gave her his best. She will miss her Poppa John laughing and talking with him on the phone; his random calls at 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning asking, “Are you sleep? Then telling her he loved her.” John will be missed by all who’s lives he touched in such a special way. He was the master builder, a good son, father, sibling and friend. John loved and appreciated his family. He leaves to cherish his memory Helen Mundy, a life-long companion for 35 years; two daughters, Karimah Jones (Imari), Rachel Jones; Three Grandchildren Kamiyah, Kevin and Keymani; Two Siblings, Jackie McDonald (Eugene), Lamar Thompson; Two Aunts, Janet Cunningham (our special Aunt), Reverend LarRaine Branch; Shala McDonald(favorite neice);RaSheen(favorite nephew) and Hazim McDonald; a host of amazing nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
