Bill Jones has always been a great mentor to me and my family. His prayers among many others certainly helped me through tough times in Afghanistan. He will be missed. Best wishes to his family.

Ms. Gloria,
We were very saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Bill. Both of you meant so much to us and to so many other Mid America seminary students. Your constant encouragement in the Lord propelled so many of us forward. We pray that the God of all comfort would be with you and your family during this time, and know that one day we will all be able to rejoice together for eternity with our Lord. Please know our thoughts and prayers will be with you in the days to come.

Bill was an amazing friend to the Sexton family. We will miss his humor, love of life and his inspirational love of God. Bill was a man of integrity and strength with a passion for sharing the love of Christ. He was also an avid outdoorsman who appreciated the wonders of nature and enjoyed being part of God's handiwork. Thought the years his constant kindness and generous attributes were a source of blessing. We were blessed to call him our friend.
He will be greatly missed.
