He was preceded in death by his parents, Buddy and Helen Jones. He was of the Baptist faith and was currently attending Belen Baptist Church. Butch was an avid fan of television, particularly when it came to football. He took pride in rooting for his Ole Miss Rebels, but his all-time favorite football player was Tom Brady. He enjoyed keeping up with FOX news and knowing what was going on in the world. He loved when family and friends would stop to visit and really cherished that time with them. Earlier in life, he enjoyed fishing and liked to cook, especially for his mama. Butch retired earlier in life from Kentucky-Tennessee Clay as a mill operator and later retired from over 22 years of service with Jones Trucking. Memorials may be sent to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
