Larry Jones passed away on Sunday, Jan. 2, 2022, in Port Charlotte, Fla.

He was a lifelong resident of Roachdale, Indiana and retired from Allison Transmission after 36 years of service.

Larry was preceded in death by his wife of 46 years, Barbara (Edwards) Jones, and his brother, Jerry Jones.

Larry is survived by his children, Brad Jones (Kathe), Bart Jones, Melinda Boyd (Robert), and Kent Jones (Shawnda). He had six grandchildren, Brett Cupp, Leja Lancaster (Cameron), Lake Jones, Carter Jones, Parker Jones and Milan Jones, and one great-grandson, Wesson Lancaster.

He is also survived by his sister, Martha Burdine (Cliff), brother Ronnie Jones, and his loving friend, Eileen Frantz.

Larry was born on Feb. 24, 1940, in Indianapolis to Joseph and Leona Jones.

He was a hardworking, devoted father and grandfather and a dedicated member of the Roachdale community where he served on the Cemetery Board, was president of the Optimist Club, and played the role of Santa in the Roachdale Christmas celebration for many years.

He was quick with a joke, had a passion for his wife, family, fast cars, and fun. It was a winning formula for life.
