He was preceded in death by his parents, Langston Jones and Edna Jones Oswalt; brothers, Delbert Jones, Ted Jones, Danny Jones, and Tommy Jones; son, Kenny Jones; daughters, Tammy Smith and Sandra Jones; and granddaughter, Emma Jones.

Ken grew up in Northport and attended Tuscaloosa County High School. He was married to the love of his life, Martha Jones for 47 years, loved his family, kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, and life-long friends. Ken loved to joke around and could make you laugh like no other. He always had to be right! Before retirement, Ken worked for Warrior Roofing, did painting, and often said he was a jack of all trades, but master of none. He had a smile that was contagious. Ken will be missed by everyone that knew him and loved him.

What a celebration and homecoming that awaited him... reunited with his parents, brothers, son, daughters, and granddaughter.

Ken, I am jealous of the Angels - until we meet again, I will love you 'til my last breath. - Martha
