I still to this day miss Dr. Jones so much, because he was such a loving caring doctor. Best one I ever had! I know he is up there in Heaven relaxing and enjoying time with family and friends, who are there with him. Praying all of his family and friends are still moving on and enjoying their lives, knowing he is not suffering anymore and that you will be with him again, when God decides it is time for you to also move on to Heaven. God's peace and comfort to to all. Kathy Fuller

We too, were very deeply saddened to hear of Dr. David Jones having cancer & passing away. As we have read the different accounts here in the guest book of his relationships with patients & friends our hearts are warmed with the accurate and caring descriptions of who he really was; a caring and loving man - and no, we'll never find another genuine doctor like him.

Dr. Jones was very kind to my Mom. He was honest with me about prognosis when nobody else was. He said he believed in miracles. He was also my doctor for a short time, and I appreciated him.

Dr. Jones did my FAA First class medicals and was a trusted friend for medical information. He would take the time to discuss questions i had.
He was a pilot as well. May he soar the winds of heaven with his new wings!

I was saddened to hear of the the loss of such a great doctor. Dr Jones took care of me when I broke my arm when I was in 4th grade & my brother when he broke his leg in 5th grade. I will always remember the sterile smell of his doctors office in Baldwin as a young girl; now as an adult I am a nurse & I would like to say he got me started on my medical career way back then! RIP Dr Jones.

Words cannot express what a wonderful man and physician Dr Jones was. He deeply cared about people and it was so nice to end a visit to his office with a prayer. He will be deeply missed by many, but so happy he is no longer fighting and can really fly free :)
