Vernon Eugene Jones

Vernon Eugene Jones entered into rest on Saturday, May 3, 2025 at age 81 in Appling, Ga.

He was born in Statesboro, Ga on December 30, 1943 to the late James and Ouida Jones. He worked as the Director of IT at the Medical College of Georgia for over 35 years until his retirement, which he spent enjoying to the fullest traveling with his wife, Sandra. Vernon loved the Georgia Bulldogs, watching Westerns, and spending time with his grandson, Jacob, who was the light of his life. He was such a kind, loving, and gentle man who loved his family and friends deeply and with his whole heart. He will truly be missed by all who knew him.

Vernon’s faith was extremely important to him. He loved his Lord, Jesus, and was always active in church, Martinez United Methodist Church in his younger years, but Trinity Baptist Church became his spiritual home in his later years.

Vernon leaves behind to cherish his memory his daughter, Kimberly Beard (Keith); Grandson Jacob Jones; Step-Grandchildren Austin Beard and Hannah Beard; and sister Juanita Marcucci; sister-in-law Rose Marie McKinney, and numerous nieces and nephews. Preceding him in death are his beloved wife, Sandra Dean Jones; brothers Richard Jones and Jim Jones; and sister Melba Jean Garrett.

The family would also like to extend special thanks to everyone at Georgia Hospice Care, for their kind and loving care of Vernon since September, especially Rosemary Gillman, Montanna Allen, and Chaplain Jack, as well as sincere gratitude to his caregivers, LaTria Smith and Rhonda Tucker.

A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, May 24, 2025 at 11:00 AM at Trinity Baptist Church, on Louisville Rd in Grovetown, GA, Pastor Chris Maddox officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Trinity Baptist Church in Grovetown. Florists, please direct all floral tributes to the church.
