Mark Jones Obituary
Mark Francis Jones, 67, of Canton passed away on March 11 at Mercy Hospital. Born in Canton, on May 26, 1958 to the late Jack and Mary (Dagy) Jones. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by 3 brothers, Terry, Mike, and Jack. Mark had a lifelong passion for racing, particularly stock cars. Weekends often meant following races, talking about engines and drivers, and sharing that enthusiasm with friends and family. The speed, competition, and culture of racing were a big part of what brought him joy. In his younger years, Mark especially enjoyed riding his motorcycle, embracing the freedom and adventure that came with every mile. The wind on the road and the thrill of the ride were things he cherished deeply. Those who knew Mark will remember him as someone who appreciated simple pleasures and the excitement of a roaring engine. Survived by 2 sisters Mary Jones-Host, Kelly (Denny) Hilson; brother James Jones; numerous nieces and nephews; as well as other loving family members and friends.
