March 21, 1951 – May 16, 2025
It is with profound sadness that I share the passing of my beloved father, Ronald Neil “Beau” Jones of Carbondale. On May 16, 2025, he passed away at the age of 74 in Colorado Springs.
Beau was preceded in death by his brother, Shannon Jones, father, Samson Jones, mother, Alice Jones, and his lifelong love and wife, Anita Newman-Jones. He is survived by his sister, Roxanne Griffin, and his children, Samson Jones, Emily Heath and Jeremiah Jones, his grandchildren, Zachariah, Amanda, Ember, Tina, Jace and Maia, and his great grandchildren, Mavis and Serenity.
Beau was a man of few words and immense wisdom who cherished every moment with his friends and family. Beau loved the outdoors and animals. He was also one hell of a plumber whose work looked like art. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
A celebration of life will be announced and held at a later date once we all have had time to process this immense loss in our lives. In honor of Beau, we ask instead of flowers that you donate to an animal shelter or nursing home.
