Vincent Jones

Funeral services for Mr. Vincent Jacques Jones, of East Dublin, Georgia, will be held on Saturday, July 18, 2020, at 11 AM, at the graveside in the Dudley Memorial Cemetery on East Mary Street in Dublin. Dr. Christopher Watkins will deliver the eulogy.

Mr. Jones was born to Carlton and Christine Jones on July 16, 1973, at the Laurens Memorial Hospital in Dublin. He is a graduate of West Laurens High School in the Class of 1991. He joined Millville Baptist Church at the age of 13 where he sang in the Youth Choir until he graduated from high school. Not long after his high school graduation, Vincent began working at Forstmann, Inc, and remained until they closed their doors. Later he held jobs with the Laurens County Sanitation and Trucks, Inc., at Southeast Paper, and at Evans Disposal. He worked with the Laurens County School System as a bus driver and a part-time custodian at East Laurens from 2010 until his death. He would say working for the Laurens County School system was his most rewarding job of all; he loved the kids and the staff of the east side dearly.

Mr. Vincent Jones led a life of love and laughter with his family, friends and coworkers. He never met a stranger. He always had a smile and hug to share. He had a way of bringing laughter and smiles to those around him. On July 7, 2020, the Lord called Vincent Jacques Jones home.
