Mr. Jones passed away on June 28, 2025, at the age of 80. Born on April 30, 1945, in Alexander City to Homer Jones and Mary Sue Joiner Jones, David's life journey was a testament to his unwavering spirit of service and community. David's youthful days blossomed with patriotism as he served his country with honor in the United States Navy. His dedication to service did not wane upon his return to civilian life. The same passion that guided him through the waves led him to pour his heart into the community he so deeply cherished. As a founding member of the Hackneyville Volunteer Fire Department, David’s tenure as Chief was marked by his steadfast leadership and his relentless commitment to the safety and well-being of his neighbors. Faith played a central role in David’s life. An active member of Old Providence Baptist Church, he lived by example, always embodying the Christian values of charity and love. David’s servant's heart was a beacon of hope, always illuminating the path for those seeking guidance or a helping hand. His love for the outdoors was more than a pastime; it was a way of life. David could often be found with a contented smile, basking in the sun while meticulously cutting grass, with the gentle roar of the mower as his constant companion. His farm was not just land and labor but a reflection of his soul, where he raised many different animals, nurturing life in all its forms. A man of many joys, David relished the adventure and tranquility of the sea, embarking on many cruises throughout his life. These voyages were not mere escapes but journeys that broadened his horizon and deepened his appreciation for the vast and majestic world. David’s life was a rich tapestry woven with dedication, love, and joy. His legacy is etched into the hearts of those he touched, in the fields and animals he tenderly cared for, and in the community he helped to build and protect. Though the sun has set on David Joiner Jones’s earthly journey, the warmth of his spirit and the light of his being will continue to shine in the countless lives he enriched. His departure is not an end but a celestial passage to a greater service, in the embrace of the eternal. He is survived by his son, Dana (Bethany) Jones of Hackneyville; grandchildren, Laura Jones, Nathan Jones, Jarrett (Jasmine) Jones, and Logan Jones; and brothers, Paul Jones and Donald Jones. He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Sandra Diane Jones; son, Dereck Shane Jones; sister, Gailie Sanford; brothers, Edward Eugene Jones, Denson Jones, Homer Lynn Jones, and Douglas Jones. The family will accept flowers or donations may be made to the Old Providence Baptist Church Cemetery C/O Quinn Smith, 2767 Old Providence Rd. Goodwater, AL 35072. Radney Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of David Joiner Jones.
