He cherished his red C5 Corvette, found joy in tending to flowers and was an avid coin collector. Ken also enjoyed watching Hallmark movies, indulging in sweets, napping on his days off with his dogs by his side, and running errands for his wife. He was deeply intelligent, kind and had a great sense of humor. Ken is survived by his loving wife, Dian Jones of Tyler, TX; his stepdaughter Susan Layton and her husband Mark of Brookeland, TX; his grandchildren, Kennedy Ballow of Tyler, TX, and Atlas Wolfheart of Gurnee, IL; his sisters, Patricia Quinnelly and her husband Richard of Bradenton, FL, and Pamela Wallace and her husband Bill of Port Orange, FL; and his great-grandchildren, Elijah McCullough and Juniper Enge of Tyler, TX. He is preceded in death by his parents, Patricia and Kenneth Leroy Jones; his sister Priscilla Jones; and his stepson Kyle Fitzgerald. Kenneth will be remembered for his gentle spirit and unwavering love for his family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
