Lloyd Jones

Our beloved Husband, Daddy, Dad, Big Pa, Gramps, Grandpa, PaPaw, Poppy, Jones went home to be with his Savior, Jesus, on Dec. 30, 2008. He was 86 years young. Lloyd was born in New Liberty, Mo., to Silas and Myrtle Jones on Feb. 18, 1922. He was one of nine children and grew up on the family farm in Missouri. At the age of 15 he began what was a lifelong love of the timber business. He cut and hauled his last load of logs at age 85. He loved the mountains of Colorado and when he moved to Fort Collins in 1946 he knew he was home. It was this home where he and his wife, Eileen, raised their family of four daughters. To his girls he was known as "Daddy" and to his seven grandchildren he was known as "Gramps", "Grandpa", "Big Pa" and "PaPaw". To his 13 great-grandchildren he was known as "Poppy", "Grandpa" and "Jones". Lloyd proudly served his country during World War II. He served November 1942 through October 1945. He served in Europe and North Africa. He was awarded three Purple Hearts, Sharpshooter Medal and various other medals. Lloyd's life was a showcase of God's redeeming grace and he knew that God's strength was made perfect in his weakness. Lloyd was preceded in death by his wife of 50 years, Eileen; a son, Lloyd Wayne; his parents, three brothers, three sisters and many other loved ones. God brought a special gift to Lloyd in March of 2006. His precious Betty came into his life and God gave them three beautiful years living in the mountains above Fort Collins. Betty was a gift not only to him but to his daughters and their families. Lloyd is survived by his dear Betty; brother, Silas Eileen Jones; sister, Mildred Bill Domurath; daughters, Melba Pinon, Mary Doug Streed, Sharon Jim Hindman and Tricia Alan Hallock; grandchildren, Michael Sherri Pinon, Kevin Pinon, Mark Anna Streed, James Kristin Hindman, Jarrod Tonya Hindman, Joshua Chelle Hallock, Jessica Adam Pruitt; and 13 great-granchildren along with other family and close friends. A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. Friday at Faith Evangelical Free Church, 4036 S. Shields. Interment will follow at Resthaven Memory Gardens Cemetery. Those who desire may view Mr. Jones from 9 to 11 a.m. Friday at Bohlender Funeral Chapel.
