     Dwight Curtis “Frog” Jones, son of Warren Curtis Jones and Geneva Moody, was born November 21, 1956, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and departed this life May 19, 2024, at his son’s home in Warsaw, Missouri, at the age of 67 years, 5 months, and 28 days.

     Frog was preceded in death by his parents, stepfather, Noel Giffin, sister, Teresa Clark, brother, Ronnie Page and his wife, Leta, and niece, Stephanie Clark.

     He is survived by his sons, David Bruce Jones and wife, Glenda, of Warsaw, Missouri, Jonathon Jones and fiancé, Jessica Black, of Seymour, Missouri, Michael Jones and wife, Nicole, of Richlands, North Carolina,  and William Jones and fiancé, Jamie Gadberry of Seymour, Missouri; grandchildren, Michaela, Jessica, David, Shelby, Dalton, Isabelle, Jackson and Zoe Jones, and Mylee Gadberry; great-grandson, Jaxon Jones; brother, Quirt Page and wife, Janet, of Springfield, Missouri; sister, Candy Eddington and fiancée Brian Webb of Springdale, Arkansas; brother-in-law, Roddy Clark, of Mansfield, Missouri; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.

     Frog was born in Oklahoma and moved to Mansfield, Missouri when he was just a few months old where he attended Mansfield Schools.  He worked in oil fields in Texas and Oklahoma, drilled water wells for Clark Drilling, as well as framing and concrete construction, before becoming disabled, but we all know that didn’t slow him down.

     In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing, hunting, bowling, playing pool and spending time with his grandchildren.

     He will be greatly missed by his friends and family.  He lived a very adventurous life, whether you knew him as Dwight, DJ, Frog, Streaker, Dad, or PaPa, we’ll always remember the good times we had with him.
