He was a man after God's own heart. He taught me how to walk in love and how to love people. He was the only man that ever came close to being a father figure in my life. I will always remember his gentle smile, his kind words, and his heart of gold. He will always be remembered. Love Debra. Sister Jones, Be Strong in the Lord and the Power of His Might.

Our prayers are with you and you have our sincere sympathy. Both Pastor and Sister Jones have truly made a positive impact upon our lives. Mountaintop Southeast Ministries, you embraced us with your love when we needed it most. While there at Mountaintop, we were taught the uncompromising Word of God. We learned how to walk by faith and how to be bold and stand on the Word of God. Pastor Jones will truly be missed. He was a true soldier. He fought the good fight, he finished the race, he kept the faith. We love you all and will continue to keep you in our prayers.

Oliver would pay us nickles to call him uncle little did we know that Momma had sent them to us, when Duck and Oliver would try to out sing each other and when he taught the smaller children the nursery rhymes all wrong. These fun times and long hot summers are fun memories that we will carry for the rest of our earlhly lives but the memory of the man that he became will always be remembered. To Nobie, we love you because you loved our uncle and cared for him as only Christ can give you the strength to do. What an example to two of you have given this family. We thank God for allowing Oliver this man of God to be apart of our lives. The James Family We remember as children when Nora and Oliver would come to visit us for the summer.

What a man of God. As others have mentioned, words do little justice to clearly and holistically describe such a man. Pastor Jones not only taught the word, believed on word, but actually lived out the word, in radiant color! In this present day, one would be hard-pressed to find a man so eagar and zealous to point others to the Cross as Christ intended. I visited with Pastor two weeks before his homegoing, and he gave me two obvious instructions. One, he sternly implored that I do not settle for mediocrity as a man of God, but that I should be "God's man." A man upholding a notable standard of character and integrity concerning the faith. Secondly, to simply "stay ready." It is my intent to express my gratitude to my Pastor and the life he lived as well as the impact that he had on me by living up to the measure of potential that he saw in me.

We always enjoyed waving to Oliver and calling "hello" to each other and visiting in the driveway. He'd offer wisdom and we'd share a chuckle about life. Stan and I liked having them as neighbors. We are saddened by Oliver's death and we offer our condolences to Sonovia and Courtney and the rest of the family. Peace be with you.
