Ralph J. Jones, 68, of Morrilton, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at his home.

Born on August 29, 1956, in Pocahontas, Arkansas, to Edgar Jones and Gladys Fuller Jones, Ralph grew up with a deep sense of family and community that he carried with him throughout his life.  Ralph was a proud 20-year veteran of the United States Marines.  He was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose warmth and kindness touched everyone he met.

Ralph was preceded in death by his parents, Edgar and Gladys Jones; son, Nathan Jones; brothers, Frank Curlee, Willard Jones, Junior Lee Jones, George Jones, Bill Jones, James Jones, Henry Jones, Jerry Calvin Jones, and Harold Lee Jones; and sisters, Ellen Jones, Christine Melvin, and Sue Jones. He was also preceded by many close family and friends, all of whom he cherished deeply.

Ralph's legacy lives on through his children; Leslie Jones of MS, Janine Montoya-Jones of CO, Elizabeth Fellows of AZ, Kristen Lucas of VA, Natalie Hruby of AZ, and Terabeth Calef of AZ. He was a proud grandfather to nine grandchildren, who brought him endless joy and pride. His sister, Barbara Jones of Pocahontas, also survives him, along with numerous extended family members and friends who will forever remember his laughter, wisdom, and the love he gave so freely.

A man of great character, Ralph worked hard to provide for his family, always putting others before himself. His quiet strength and unwavering support made him a pillar of the community, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Ralph had a passion for life, a love for his family, and a spirit of resilience that will continue to inspire those who carry his memory. He leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and faith that will be cherished by his family and friends for generations to come.
