Gene Lloyd Jones Obituary (1935 - 2023)

Gene Lloyd Jones, 87 passed away on April 11, 2023 at UTMB in Galveston, Texas. He was the father of David Lee Jones and father-in-law of Linda Carol Jones. Gene was the grandfather of Kaitlin Bliss Ehrhart, Clinton Dwayne Hill and Cody O'Bryan Hill. Born in Kosse, Texas, Gene was the son of Lovelace and Letha Jones, born on November 9, 1935 and as he liked to add "in a barn". He was a very proud veteran of the Korean War and eventually retired from the U.S. Postal Service. Gene was a member of the Grand Lodge of Texas, South Houston No. 1295 for 62 years. He will be remembered most for his faith, infectious laugh, and his priceless advice. He loved fishing, plants and was most fond of fellowship with good friends. His Sunday lunches and drives were the highlight of both Gene and Dave's week. Gene is survived by his children, David (and wife, Carol Jones) and granddaughter, Kaitlin Ehrhart. He was predeceased by his parents, Lovelace and Letha Jones; his brother, Carl Jones, his sister, Margie Jones and his daughter, Jackie Jones. There will be a memorial set at a later date for Gene to be honored at the Houston National Cemetery.
