Alfred Michael Jones, 74, of Brentwood, TN, passed away Thursday, July 13, 2023. Mike was born to the late Claude Thweatt Jones Jr and Juanita (Osborne) Jones Fudge on November 25, 1948 in Nashville, Tennessee. Mike married the love of his life Joyce Atkinson on July 7, 1972.
Mike went to MTSU where he received his bachelors in Industrial Arts, later adding a bachelors in Industrial Engineering. He worked at Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. as an Industrial Engineering Manager and Commercial Supply Chain Operations Engineer. Mike was a focused, hard-working and determined man who loved his family and literally built the home his children grew up in, which persisted as a hobby of building and woodworking. He loved his wife and took exceptional care of her in her final moments as her health declined. He also appreciated humor and good natured teasing, at which he excelled. Mike never shrank from a challenge, nor was it a good idea to tell him he couldn’t do something because it was sure to get done. He channeled his passions and strengths into a lifetime as a member of the Church of Christ.
Mike is survived by his daughter, Erin Jones, Brentwood, TN; sons, Matthew (Julie) Jones, Jacksonville, NC, and Kevin (Michele) Jones, Franklin, TN; sister, Becky Hinkle, Springfield, TN; brother, Eric (Jill) Fudge, Santa Rosa Beach, FL; grandchildren, Patrick, Emma, and Sam Meadows; Sasha, Zoe, and Hunter Jones; Charlie and Lauren Jones.
Along with his parents, Mike is preceded in death by his wife, Joyce Atkinson Jones, and his stepfather, Maurice Eugene Fudge.
