Louis Vance Jones, was born in Caswell County, North Carolina to Cora Jones Hill and Stan Anderson on June 19, 1932. Following a period of declining health, he departed this life while he was being cared for by the staff of AuthoraCare Collective Hospice, surrounded by his family on January 12, 2026.

Bob leaves loving memories to his daughters: Cynthia Richmond and Sharon W. Jacobs (Elder Ira); four grandchildren: Teisha Blackston, Deric Willis, Grayson Willis and Nicholas Jacobs; a great-granddaughter: Cayla Blackston; the family of his companion Thenia Mebane as well as a host of additional relatives and close friends.

In his passing he now joins his mother and step-father: Cora Jones Hill and Nate Hill; his father Stan Anderson; son and daughter-in-law: Kimothy & Amber Willis and long-time companion, Thenia Mebane.
