Danny was born July 3, 1945 in Knox City, Texas to Stephen Decatur (S.D.) Jones and Robbie Pannell Jones. He married Jennifer Dick, of Edinburgh, Scotland on May 5, 1968 in West Monroe, Louisiana. Danny is survived by his wife of 55 years, Jennifer Jones of Midland; his daughters Dana Nance and her husband Gabe of Blue Ridge and Jenna Jones of Tomball; his sister Paula Adams and her husband Craig of Midland; his granddaughters Emily Littlejohn and her husband Jacob of Ambrose and Myra Jones of Tomball; his grandson Caleb Nance of Blue Ridge, along with nieces, nephews and many friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents and his brother.
Danny and his sister, Paula, started Charts, Inc., a gas measurement company, and worked together until they retired. Many of his employees have said that he was the best boss they ever worked for. He was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was sharp witted, intelligent, ornery, kind, thoughtful, wise, patient and so generous. He loved his family and friends so well. Danny was a vital part of the recovery community in Midland, always encouraging, listening, giving and sharing. Danny loved wildflowers, the mountains of Colorado, crossword puzzles, poetry, southern gospel music, playing the piano, playing 42, all kinds of sweets, antique clocks, phonographs, 78 rpm records, antiques and connecting with family on Ancestry. To know him was to love him and be loved by him.
The family would like to express their gratitude towards family, friends and Home Hospice of Midland.
