Obituary of Tommy Dale Jones

Tommy (Tom) Dale Jones peacefully moved on to his heavenly home on November 16, 2022 and decided to “call it a day” after a long battle with illness. Tom was born on February 1, 1966, in Coffeyville, Kansas to Arthur (Art) Jones and Mae Wieland. Tom was the youngest of five children. Philip Jones (Patti) of Bartlesville, OK, Bruce Jones of Vinita, OK, Laurie Jones of Coffeyville and Steven (Steve) Jones of Coffeyville, Kansas. Tom is survived by his four children, Kristy, Kimberly, Tommy, Chuck. Tom is also survived by his four siblings, 8 grandchildren, 19 nieces and nephews and so many friends and loved ones. Tom was preceded in death by his parents Arthur and Mae and his four grandparents, Julia Whipple (Casanover), Harold Wieland, Gracie Jones (Hull) and Sylvester Jones. Tom attended multiple schools during his youth. Tom worked many jobs and was always a phone call away when something wasn’t working or running quite right. To his family and friends, he was the go-to handy-man and car mechanic. Many times, he worked on things out of love for all of those he knew and even some he did not. Tom enjoyed working with his hands and had a passion for woodworking, crafting, and building things. Tom also had a love for cars. He loved to work on, drive, and even race those cars. You could be sure that Tom always had a story to tell when a car was brought up in a conversation. He was an avid river fisherman and if you hadn’t heard from Tom in a few hours, there was a high probability that he was sitting on the riverbank and waiting to catch a few catfish. Tom was the life of the party and loved to laugh and make others laugh. He was genuinely a one-of-a-kind person and as he would often say, he was truly a “god’s child”. Tom had a strong faith and did his best to honor his faith through action and love for all around him. Visitation will be held on November 21, 2022, at David W.
