Mr. Larry Jones peacefully departed this life on October 31, 2025, surrounded by his family at the age of 74. He was born on February 19, 1951, in Petersburg, Virginia, to the late Harry Lee Jones, Sr. and Mary Belle Gordon Jones.

Larry was preceded in death by his beloved siblings, Elva Rae Jones-Baugh, Agnes Jones Cone-Williams and Harry Lee Jones, Jr., and his nephew, Kemp Baugh.

Larry began his lifelong journey of hard work and dedication by joining his father in the family landscaping business.  He later proudly served his country in the United States Army, and experience that shaped his discipline, humility, and strength.  After completing his service, Larry continued his landscaping career with his brother-in-law at A.B. Goode and later joined Bellwood, where he worked faithfully for over 15 years until retired due to health conditions.

In 2008, Larry married the love of his life, Mrs. Bertha Hall-Jones. Together they shared 18 beautiful years of marriage filled with love, laughter and mutual devotion.

Larry was known for his kind heart, calm presence, and sense of humor. He found joy in walking his favorite companion, Damien, riding motorcycles, diving cars, playing the lottery, and relaxing while watching CNN News and classic westerns.  His down-to-earth nature, wisdom, and loyalty will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Larry leaves to cherish his memory: his devoted wife, Bertha Hall-Jones; children, Chimere Smith (Dakota), Nathaniel Holmes (Amina), and Shavone Hall; sister, Christabell Jones-Goode (Arthur); grandchildren, Nicole, Amyr, Zaheer, Nathaniel Jr., Grayson, Martin Smith, Jr., and Jaxon Bowles; aunts, Viola Evans; several loving nieces and nephews including a devoted niece, Tonya Taylor; one brother-in-law, Edward Baugh; one sister-in-law, Virginia Jeter; and a host of other relatives and friends.

Larry's love, laughter, and legacy will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Though he may be gone from sight, his spirit and light will continue to live on eternally.
