Bary Leonard Jones passed away on November 27, 2024 after a short illness. He was born on December 23, 1956 at the old Scotia Hospital and grew up in Shively.

In his youth, Bary loved to fish and hunt. He was always bringing home plenty of fresh venison, quail, salmon, and steelhead. He also loved gardening. His summers were spent on the family 10-acre farm growing fruits and vegetables.

Bary worked for Pacific Lumber Company, and then for Schmidbauer Lumber. After his retirement, he made his home in Eureka. He loved living on the Waterfront and enjoyed his new found independence and the social activities there.

Bary was preceded in death by his Mom and Dad, Enoch (Bear Hunter) and Essie Jones. Bary is survived by his siblings, Stephen Jones, Patricia Bugbee (Bill) and Walter Jones. He leaves behind three nieces and two nephews: Samantha, Holly, Jessie, Luke, and Ivan; four great-nephews and one great-niece: Troy, Bearett, Alexis, Jason and Dax.

We will miss you, our Dear brother, uncle, and friend. We love you very much. We will see you again in Jehovah’s new world, when the earth becomes a Paradise. We have that promise and hope found at Revelation 21:4. It reads, “And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more. Neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.”

There will be a private family memorial held along the banks of the Eel River, amongst the Redwoods, a place that Bary truly loved.
