Jim "Jimmy Don" Jones, Van Buren, AR— Jim "Jimmy Don" Jones passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a profound sense of loss in his community. His wife, Christine Jones, shared the heartbreaking news that Jim had struggled with several health issues, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and complications from a knee amputation. Over the past two years, he had been in and out of the hospital and even the ICU. Despite his personal battles, Jim’s spirit remained strong, particularly in his love for the outdoors and his commitment to helping others.
Jim had dedicated much of his life to serving his community and country. A proud member of the United States Air Force, Jim also volunteered in Search & Rescue, trained others in swift water rescue and rappelling, and worked as a volunteer firefighter. Known for his selflessness, Jim had a lasting impact on those he helped throughout his life.
His family, including his wife Christine, children, and grandchildren, are now grappling with the financial burden of funeral expenses. Christine has started a fundraiser to assist with these costs, which has already raised $250 from the kindness of the community.
Friends and supporters have begun sharing donations and messages of sympathy. Scott Barclay, Tausha Treadway, Michael Etris, Thomasas Lancaster, and Tom Watkins were among those who contributed to the fund.
The Jones family appreciates all the support during this challenging time. Jim’s legacy of helping others will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jones family in this difficult time.
