Obituary of David M. Jones

David M. Jones, 89, of Edison passed away peacefully on September 1, 2017 at his new home in Columbus with his family by his side. He was born in Swansea, Wales to George and Margaret (Buckland) Jones. Before coming to the United States, David proudly served in the Welsh Army. Before his retirement he worked as a Manager at M&T Chemical Plant in Rahway, NJ.

David will forever be remembered for his warm and witty personality. He was the happiest when surrounded by the ones he loved and appreciated the closeness of his family. Whether he was spending time with his wife, fishing in Ocean City Maryland or tinkering in his workshop, David will forever be the role model that we all aspire to be, loving and kind.

David is predeceased by his parents George and Margaret, two brothers, a sister, and his son-in-law and grandchild Cesar and Melissa Ribeiro. He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years Barbara Jones; daughters: Catherine Best, Renee Pypiak and her husband John, Julianne Nardi and her husband Al, and Allison Ribeiro; his brothers: George and Royston and his wife Betty and sister Caroline; his grandchildren: Shannon, Michael, Steven, Zachary, Amanda, Danielle, and great grandchildren: Mackenzie, Victoria and Brandon.
