John M. Jones, Sr, age 77 of Lansing, passed away February 22, 2024 at Stoneleigh Residence and Hospice of Lansing, surrounded by family. Born September 26, 1946 in Mt. Pleasant, MI, he was the son of the late Russell and Ruby (Raymond) Jones. John met the love of his life, Susan MacGregor, in the 9th grade. They wed on June 24, 1967.
Following his service in the United States Army, John retired from GM in 2004 after almost 40 years of service. He enjoyed camping, RVing, was an avid street rodder and enjoyed car shows. He never met a puppy dog he didn't like and his days were always fair to Midland, as he would say.
He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Susan (MacGregor) Jones; sons, John (Tanya) Jones, Jr. of Leo, IN and Jeffrey M. Jones Fort Wayne, IN; granddaughter, Maggie Jones of Muncie, IN; brother, Spencer Jones of Barryton, MI; step-sister, Silvana Harmon of Breckenridge, MI; and several nieces and nephews. John was preceded in death by both of his parents and step-father, Eldred "Dutch" Harry, and sister, Sandra "Sue" White.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 6, 2024 at 11:00 am at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 7910 E. St. Joe Hwy, Lansing, MI 48917.
