Ron Jones

Ron Jones was a force of nature. His talents were many: he was great with his hands starting with a rebuild of his '56 Chevy as a teenager, then his design and construction of two homes, his bittersweet career as a power plant mechanic, and the undercurrent of countless pieces of art and handmade projects.

He is survived by his two sons, Cory Jones and Jake Jones; his girlfriend, Lori Smith; his sister, Vickee Jones; his daughter-in-law, Tisha Jones; his two granddaughters, Skylar Flaming and Falyn Jones; and great granddaughter, Roslyn Flaming. His cat, Lacey, will continue to hunt mice in his honor.

Family and friends will be celebrating Ron at Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop in Lawrence, KS on Saturday, March 9th from 2-5pm with an exhibit and get together called 'As the Crow Flies: A Tribute to the Life and Art of Ron Jones.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Ron's honor to The Nature Conservancy of Kansas.
