Vernon Jones Obituary
JONES, VERNON HAROLD – Passed peacefully at home with his family by his side on Saturday, December 30, 2023 just six weeks after celebrating his 100th birthday. Vernon has joined the love of his life, Thora, of 65 years. They raised five children together: Robert (Kathryn), Barbara (Norman), Thomas (Rhonda), Michael (Laura) and Sheryl (John). Proud Papa to 22 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren, and 5 great-great grandchildren. Vernon will be remembered for his kindness, compassion and his example to his family and friends.
He was a constant example of unconditional love and service to those in need. He showed his love for his family endlessly and he loved everyone abundantly and without judgement or guile. He was a man of humility, meekness and the ultimate peacemaker. He looked for and found only the beautiful and the pure in each of us. As a family we will strive to honor his legacy by emulating his life.
Vernon Jones lived a life of service, sacrifice and love. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and will be remembered for his faithful service and commitment in various callings and positions as Bishop, Patriarch and temple worker with his loving wife beside him.
Vernon served as a commissioned officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II where he was given the nickname «Sweet Pea» from his flight crew. He was proud to earn his degree in Metallurgical Engineering from University of Toronto following the war. He worked for many years as the Chief Metallurgist at TRW Canada, before retiring at the age of 65. After retirement, he was committed to working at H&R Block, volunteering with the Heart and Stroke Foundation, as well as continuing his love for the game of golf, but most of all, his family, day after day!!
