Dear family of Judge Jones,

You have my sincere condolences. I don't believe I ever met him but, he grew up and went all through school with my mom, Audrey Kirkland Evans, She used to say he was one of the kindest people she ever knew. Sadly, she passed away in 1984 at 57 from CHF and never got to see the courthouse downtown. I can tell you that he really must have been truly a great person for her to talk about after all the years since they graduated from SHS.

My sympathy for you,

Lynn Evans Dunn

Stephanie,
I am not physically able to attend the services and viewing, but I must tell you how much I admired your father, a true gentleman and legal scholar. God bless you and may your memories give you comfort and strength for the days ahead.

Please accept our heartfelt condolences. Judge Nate Jones was a friend, colleague and Kappa Brother. I had the pleasure of serving with him as local legal counsel and president of the Dayton Branch NAACP during the Dayton school desegregation litigation. Also, sharing foreign travels and many domestic meetings, conferences and social occasions with Nate and Lil. Our world and national are better because of Judge Jones' unselfish service during his distinguished career. RIP. Attorney Richard and Nolly Austin, St. Croix, Virgin Islands and Dayton, Ohio

Remembering Judge Jones for his encouragement at one of our campaign field offices on Madison Road - how tired we all were, and he came in laden with cookies, snacks and sodas. (already in his 80's)
His unwavering commitment to the democratic process, is a memory I carry with me every time I hear challenge from those saying - "this is too hard".
In honor of your memory Judge Jones, we can and we will make EVERY vote count.
