Obituary For Oliver Joseph Jones

Oliver Joseph ââ?¬Å?Joeââ?¬Â? Jones, 75, passed away on Friday June 17, 2011. Joe was born and raised in Henderson, NC. Joe was graduated from Vance Senior HS in Henderson in 1953. In 1954, Joe married Joyce Hill and they had three children. After the marriage ended, he met the woman he would spend the rest of his life with, Gladys Lynch. They had one child together and Joe helped raise Gladysââ?¬â?¢ daughter. Still the love of his life, Joe and Gladys recently celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary. Joe was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He is survived by his wife Gladys Jones, Raleigh; sister Eleanor Hall, Paducah, KY; son Joseph Davis and wife Nui, of WA; daughter Tammy Ridings and husband Randy, Winston-Salem, NC; daughter Janice Trivette, Clemmons, NC; son Kendall Jones and partner John, Raleigh, NC; daughter Connie Burkhalter and husband Terry, Laurens, SC. Grandchildren: Rob, Mary, Jacqueline, Christopher, Gianna, Bobby, Lance & Valerie. For many years Joe worked for Purolator out of Henderson, NC and was one of their top sales men. When he retired, he turned to his true vocation: the ministry. Joeââ?¬â?¢s love and passion for the words and works of Jesus Christ enabled him to answer Godââ?¬â?¢s call to become a devoted servant of Christ through ministry. For more than 10 years, Joe ministered to the faithful congregation at Mt. Carmel United Methodist Church in Henderson, NC. Joe had an unwavering belief that everyone deserves to know the unconditional Love of Jesus Christ.

    Gladys, Kendall, Connie, Joseph, Tammy, and Janice, What a wonderful life Joe lived. From my earliest memory, his was a life who put Christ first and his trust in Jesus for it all. I remember fondly his coming to live with us when I was 8 years old during transition and how God put Gladys in his life in His perfect timing. On this Father's Day, Joseph, Tammy, Janice, Kendall, and Connie, rest assured he is very proud of each of you. He was my father's cousin, but was more like a brother to him. He fulfilled a rich heritage of loving and following Jesus, generations deep in our family. As I shed some tears in writing this, I find myself also rejoicing that Joe has been set free from his earthly body and is spending his first Father's Day with his heavenly Father.
