Christopher Hugh Jones
1954-2022
It is with sadness that we announce the passing
of our brother Christopher Hugh Jones of Liverpool, NS. Chris left us
peacefully while in the care of the Valley Hospice, Kentville, on
Saturday, June 4, 2022 following a lengthy
illness.
Born on February 1st, 1954, he was the second
son of the late R.G.B. (Bev) and Helen (Day) Jones of Liverpool. He is
survived by his two brothers, Gren (Gail) of Centreville Mountain, NS
and Andrew of Calgary, AB; along with four nieces, Lisa Pinch (Chad)
in Port Williams and Rebecca Jones-Boudreau (Richard) in Canning, and
Lidia and Marissa Jones of Calgary. He is also survived by
grandnephews Zachary, Ronan and Drake. Chris had a big heart and was
quick to offer help to those in need. He had many long lasting
friendships. While in Hospice care he enjoyed daily visits and calls
from family and friends.
Chris was an avid reader had a great thirst for
knowledge. In his early life, Chris developed a love of nature and
enjoyed spending time at the camp on Ponhook Lake and environs in
Queens County, with his family. He loved to fish and was very adept at
catching the biggest trout. He loved to row on both lake and
ocean. Chris lived his life in Nova Scotia, and a few years
in Calgary. When his father became ill, he moved home to care for his
parents. His dedication to their health and wellness was remarkable.
Chris had a great interest in birds, and in his last days he found joy
in visits from chickadees, cardinals, doves and pheasants that foraged
just outside his room. Always quick to smile and laugh, his wonderful
sense of humour was with him till the
end.
Chris had excellent care in both the Valley
Regional Hospital and at the Valley Hospice. Family members are most
appreciative of the compassion that medical staff at the Hospice
provided over the 5 weeks.
Cremation has taken place under the direction
of the White Family Funeral Home, Kentville. A memorial will be held
at a later date for family and friends in Liverpool. Donations in
memory may be made to the Valley Hospice (www.valleyhospice.ca).
