Dennis Clifford Jones Sr.'s Obituary
Dennis Clifford Jones Sr., a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 27, 2024, and is now with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Dennis was born to John and Estella Jones in New Marshfield, Ohio, on December 2, 1939. In December 1956, at the age of 17, Dennis entered the U.S.A.F. and served in Guam. On February 4, 1962, he married Patsy, his wife of 62 years.
Dennis worked for Rockwell International in Newark, Ohio, from 1972 to 1995 for 33 years. Known to his co-workers as “Deacon”, he worked on the assembly lines and eventually as an inspector during his career in the Rockwell Truck and Axle division building, working with military and civilian multi-axle trucks. In addition to this lengthy career, Dennis was the Glouster Church of the Nazarene pastor before moving on to be a supply pastor. He then served as a Sunday School Superintendent for many additional years.
Dennis had many interests from his mechanical skills and know-how. He worked in such hobbies as gardening, beekeeping, antique collecting, fine woodworking, auto repair, oil painting, and hunting. Dennis was a family man through and through. He was known to his church and family as an unmovable rock. Dennis spent much of his free time serving his church family, his friends, and neighbors in times of need through prayer, service, and friendship. Many people have come to Christ because of his work.
Dennis was preceded in death by his grandson, Isaiah Jerome Jones; daughter-in-law, Regina Renee Jones; and son-in-law, Kevin Dyer. He is survived by his wife, Patsy L. Jones (Hager); his daughters, Denise Dyer and Heather Chubb; his sons, Dennis Jones Jr, Samuel Jones, and Tim Jones; and many grandchildren.
Dennis will be buried at the New Marshfield Cemetery in New Marshfield, Ohio, in a private family service followed by a post-communal gathering for the family. Condolences at www.stubbsconner.com.
