Norman David Jones

Norman David Jones, 74, of Gilbert, AZ passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 27, 2022 and was reunited with his parents Emerson and Virgie (Payne) Jones. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Alexa V. (Power) Jones and their 7 children: Amanda (W. David) Ramer, Nathan (Karmen) Jones, Susanna (Ryan) Christensen, Rebecca (Jared) Standage, David (Amanda) Jones, Ryan Jones, and Sarah (Jon) Boone. As grandfather of 22 grandchildren, he was anticipating his latest promotion to GREAT Grandpa in January 2023. Norman, the middle child and only brother, is also survived by his sisters Arlene (Brent) Peterson, Barbara Jones, Lola (Jack) Mecham, and Peggy Wiley.

Norman was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served a mission in Alberta, Canada before marrying his eternal companion in 1972. He dedicated over 35 years of service to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, primarily as a highway patrolman. A resident of Chandler for most of his life, Norman and Alexa raised their family in his childhood home where he maintained connections from the past, with careful attention to the widows and longtime families of the area.

With a passion for words, Norman will be remembered for his sharp wit, mischievous sense of humor, and colorful storytelling. He was an avid collector of treasures: books, friends, obscure information, and most especially bargains. He was known in all areas of his life for his resourcefulness and was always willing to share with others. For his generosity and so many other reasons, he will be missed.
