Michael Curtis Jones

Michael (Mike) Curtis Jones, 66, of Chesterfield, VA, passed away unexpectedly at his home on August 20, 2022.

Mike was born November 21, 1955 in Fort Benning, GA to Doris (Collins) and Hubert Jones, of Richlands, VA. He grew up in Hopewell, VA, where he graduated from Hopewell High School in 1974. Mike spent his career as a parts manager, working for Ford dealerships throughout the Richmond area, most recently with Crossroads Ford in Prince George, VA. Mike was a past member of St. Marks United Methodist Church in Petersburg, VA and current member of Chester United Methodist Church in Chester, VA.

The true love of his life was his devoted wife of 46 years, Elizabeth (Betty) Brendle Jones, of which he wed on July 17, 1976. Together, Mike and Betty had a daughter, June Elizabeth, who was the light of their life. Being a kind and dependable father was of upmost importance to Mike, and he carried that duty through with the birth of his grandchildren, Tyson and Maddie. There was no greater joy in Mike's life than being "Granddad" and spending time with his precious grandchildren.

A weekend warrior, there wasn't anything that Mike could not fix and no meat he could not smoke. People from miles around raved over Mike's BBQ. When he wasn't hard at work around the house, he and Betty enjoyed hanging out on their back deck oasis, camping, day trips to Williamsburg, trying out new restaurants, trips to Charlotte to see their grandkids, University of Georgia football games, the company of family and friends and trips to the beach.

In addition to his wife, Elizabeth (Betty) Jones, Mike is survived by his mother, Doris Perkins, of Colonial Heights, VA; daughter, June Elizabeth Hall (Zach), of Weddington, NC; grandchildren, Tyson, Maddie and Hannah Hall; sister, Diane Jones Leffert (Dave), of Chesterfield, VA; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Billie and Joseph Tyus, of Chester, VA; nephews, Adam Tyus and Aaron Harmon (Lynn); nieces, Amanda Woodman (Sean) and Amy Dancel (Ruben); and close family friend, Ron Goldfarb, of Sunset Beach, NC. Mike was preceded in death by his father, Hubert Aaron Jones.
