Doug Jones Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Passed away peacefully at home with his family on February 21st, 2022 at the young age of 62. Doug is survived by his 3 children, 2 siblings and parents.
Doug was a kind, generous, ever giving man with a calm presence and a smile that would light up a room. He prided himself on his many talents working with classic cars, his favorite being 1960's Chevys. He worked to restore countless classic vehicles and had his work showcased at a national scale. His paintwork and custom interiors can be seen across Michigan as a staple of dedication to quality.
Doug also loved the West Michigan coast, spending time with his family at Silver Lake whenever he could. He used anything on wheels to race around the dunes, swim and boat on the lake, and eat a banana split at the end of the day.
He will be dearly missed by all who knew the wonderful man he was.
Doug is survived by his children: Devin Jones, Colby Jones, and Sachele Jones; siblings, Cindy (Roger) Gustafson, and Daniel Jones; parents, Richard and Ann Jones.
Further details on a memorial service will be updated in coming weeks. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in loving memory of Doug to a charity of your choice. The family has entrusted arrangements to the Mills Funeral Home, Peters & Murray Chapel, Grand Ledge. Online condolences may be placed at www.millsfuneral.com.
