Tommy Jones Obituary

Tommy L. Jones, affectionately known as "CAT," was born on July 1, 1957, in Memphis, TN. He passed away peacefully on January 9, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love and strength. A proud military veteran, Tommy was honorably discharged and dedicated his life to the craft of remodeling and reconstruction. Tommy's spirit thrived through his passions for fishing, tennis, golf, and chess, which brought joy not only to him but also to those around him. He was a devoted father to Tyson Nave, Tommy Lee Jones Jr., and Brandon Nash, and a cherished brother to Lonnie Jones (Debra) and Melva Brown. He leaves behind his beloved aunt, Mary Jones, a special friend, Ann Moore, and a host of grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Tommy is preceded in death by his loving mother, Marion Jones. His kindness, humor, and unwavering support will be deeply missed by all who knew him. A celebration of Tommy's life will be held to honor his memory and the impact he had on so many.
