Rick Jones Obituary
---
Jones was a well-liked postal worker and member of the Oklahoma City Area Local, according to the American Postal Workers Union.
"The devastation suffered by the community is almost too much to bear," Human Relations Director Sue Carney said. "At last count, at least 12 postal employees lost everything."
The homes of nine APWU members were destroyed, and dozens more had significant damage, Carney said.

I know that Rick's family and friends are overwhelmed at this time. I can only pray that our creator will give a special portion of his spirit to you all in this time of need. King David wrote; ''God will become a secure height for anyone crushed, a secure height in times of distress" May he bring comfort to you all.

May this thought from God's Word the bible bring peace to your family in this time of deep sorrow. Romans 4:17 says "just as it is written: “I have appointed you a father of many nations.”) This was in the sight of the One in whom he had faith, even of God, who makes the dead alive and calls the things that are not as though they were."

My deepest sympathy for your loss. Rick was one of the nicest guys I have ever worked with. I will miss running in to him around Moore. He always had a smile on his face and time to stop and chat. You are all in my prayers.

Our deepest sympathy for your loss and feel saddened by the lives that have been severely changed because of the recent natural disaster and the grief that it has brought upon the people of Oklahoma. We pray that you remember that God cares for all of us and that He is a God of love and wants the best for us. John 3:16 assures us that He will remedy all of the problems we experience today including the death of our loved ones, like Rick. Until that time, pray that you can keep your happy memories of Rick continuously alive in your hearts.
