Robert Jones Obituary
Born on December 17, 1949, in Bainbridge, Georgia, Robert was the first child of Nanette and Clant "Buck" Jones. He grew up in Bainbridge and graduated from Bainbridge High School in 1968. He then attended UGA where he met Barbara, his wife of 54 years. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Business Administration in Business Management from the University of Georgia in 1973.
Robert built a successful career in sales, dedicating many years to the field in Birmingham, AL, Knoxville, TN and Dunwoody/Atlanta, GA.
Outside of his professional life, Robert was an avid UGA and SEC sports fan and was highly involved in the Atlanta tennis community. He also had a deep love for animals and shared much of his free time with their beloved dogs. He spent many hours at Brook Run Dog Park in Dunwoody sharing stories with folks about their fur babies. For over 20 years, both he and Barbara volunteered with and fostered/rescued through AdoptaGoldenAtlanta.
Robert is survived by his wife, Barbara LaMotte Jones, and their daughter, Christi Jones. He was preceded in death by his parents, Nanette and Clant "Buck" Jones.
A memorial reception will take place on Saturday, June 28th from 2-4 pm at Saint Luke's Presbyterian Church in Dunwoody.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Robert's memory to the Boston University Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Center (www.bu.edu/cte) or AdoptaGoldenAtlanta.com.
