Mike D. Jones, age 61, of Macclenny, Florida passed away on January 12, 2022. He was born in Jacksonville, Florida on April 22, 1960, to Billy Joe Jones and Gloria Lowery Jones. Mike was raised in Jacksonville, Florida and relocated to Macclenny, Florida as a teenager. An avid athlete, he quickly took the lead as quarterback of the Baker County Wildcat football team. He graduated from Baker County High School and then attended Tuskegee University on a full athletic scholarship. Mike returned home from college, where he worked at Anheuser-Busch in Jacksonville. In his spare time, he enjoyed competitive barefoot water skiing behind his Ski Nautique. Later, Mike bartended and owned Broncos Bar in Jacksonville, FL. He was truly a jack of all trades but eventually found his calling in paint contracting and owned his own business, Mike Jones Painting, LLC. He was well known for, and proud of, his niche in painting and remodeling high end homes. Mike met his best friend and lifetime love, Lisa Diane Lee, in the 1980’s and dated until they were married on September 28, 1985. Mike was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend. Mike spent countless hours coaching his son’s baseball and football teams, teaching his children to hunt, fish, golf, ride dirt bikes and make his special JoneZ’s Hot Sauce. More than anything, Mike loved family and enjoyed spending time with them. Mike is survived by his loving wife, Lisa Jones of Macclenny, FL; children, Dillon (Haley) Jones of Newberry, FL, Dalton (Ashlyn Staten) Jones of Gainesville, FL, and Demi (Cameron) Hauge of Macclenny, FL; parents, Billy Joe Jones and Gloria Jones of Sanderson, FL; brother, Danny (Angel) Jones of Jacksonville, FL; sister, Angel Ables of Texas; granddaughter, Elizabeth Lee Jones; and another sweet grandbaby on the way. A Celebration of Mike’s life will be held on Monday, January 17, 2022, at 12:00 pm at Christian Fellowship Temple with Pastor David and Tim Thomas officiating. The family will receive friends on Monday, January 17, 2022, an hour prior to the service at the church. Arrangements are under the care and direction of V.
