He is survived by his daughters, Matilda and Shelby, their mother, Autumn Twitchell, his father, Denny Jones, his mother, Ann McClure, his brother, Eric Jones, and his sister-in-law, Sarah Jones. He is also survived by his brother, Patrick McClure, his sister, Janae Martin, and his brother-in-law, Matt Martin, along with several nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles.

Matt was preceded in death by his grandfather, Dr. Frank Jones, his grandmother, Beverly Jones, his grandfather, Tom Lacy Sr., and his grandmother, Dona Lacy.

A service to celebrate Matt's life will be held on Sunday, March 24th, from 3-6pm at St. Pius church basement, 5500 Woodson, Mission, KS 66202.

I didn't know you well, but the time the family all got together in Florida was very memorable. Rest in peace my friend.

Since 1991, my life was peppered by random, totally thankless kind acts given to me by Matt. From sticking up for me to bullies at Fairway Pool to randomly seeing me walking in the rain miles away from home and pulling over to offer me a ride, Matt always made a sincere effort to do kind things for me with absolutely no motivation of self interest. He was one of the most dignified and genuinely kind people I´d known.
