Gary Jones
1946-2021
Gary Wayne Jones, 74, of Petitcodiac,
passed away on Tuesday, January 19, 2021 at the Moncton Hospital. Born
in Moncton, he was the son of the late Lloyd and Evelyn (McKay)
Jones.
Gary was a truck driver for
Drury Transfer (Armour Transport). He and his brother Gerry were
« The twins of Petitcodiac » and did almost everything
together, including volunteering with the Petitcodiac Volunteer Fire
Department for over 51 years; a big part of Gary’s life.
Gary enjoyed golfing, was a member of the Petitcodiac Golf and Country
Club, Club Captain for over 15 years, and genuinely enjoyed the
community and the connections he made there. He loved to work in his
woodworking shop, and would spend time with anyone who would build
with him. Gary had many friends, all of whom he cherished
deeply.
Gary is survived and sadly missed by his
wife of 46 years, Alice Jones; children, David Jones (Tracy), Tracey
McLaughlin (Gary), Tabatha Diepman (Roger) and Cassey Steeves (Shane);
grandchildren, Corey and Airelle Jones, Jason, Rebecca and Robin
Diepman, Izaak McLaughlin, and Connor Steeves; great-grandchildren,
Gweneviere and Savannah; twin brother, Gerald Jones (Fran); many
siblings-in-law, nieces and nephews.
The family wishes to thank Dr.
Blanchard, Dr. Brown, the nurses and staff at Moncton Hospital Unit
4200, and his home care workers for the care Gary received. Also, a
very sincere thank you to all who reached out to Gary as his health
declined and helped him in so many ways, especially Brian Gaudet and
his brothers-in-law, Byron and Morgan for going above and
beyond.
Arrangements in care of The Salisbury
Funeral Home (372-4800). A private family graveside service at The
Grangeville Baptist Cemetery will be held at a later date. If desired,
memorials to the Petitcodiac Volunteer Fire Department, or a charity
of choice would be appreciated.
