Anthony Jones Obituary

Captain Anthony Robert Jones of Madisonville, Louisiana, cherished husband of Susan (nee Falcon) Jones, passed away on December 29, 2017, in Covington, Louisiana. He was born August 5, 1946, in London, England, and was preceeded in death by his parents Richard F. H. Jones and Iris Geraldine M. Jones, by his loving brother Jeremy Jones, and by his beloved son Geofrey Peter Nigel Jones. Tony was a citizen of the world and a forever mariner. His remarkable career took him to the far reaches of the earth, but most profoundly Tony understood the human spirit and never met a stranger. He is survived by his devoted wife Susan and their sons Alexander (Rachel) Jones, David (Heather) Jones, Ryan (Kim) Arceneaux, and Brian (Wendy) Arceneaux, and their sweet grandchildren. A memorial gathering will be held from 2 to 6 PM on Saturday, January 27th, at the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Maritime Museum, 133 Mabel Dr, Madisonville, Louisiana. Please remember Tony by cherishing your family and friends as Tony always did--dance, smile, walk your dog, hug a friend, feed the birds, offer a meal, embrace life.

Although we did not get together as often as I would have liked, our times together were priceless. Tony and Susan have always brought out the BEST in people and lit up any room they were in. I will miss calling Tony on his birthdays just to give him a hard time and find out which country they were celebrating in this time. His legacy lives forever in my mind as the gentlemen and amazing friend that he was. My heart goes out to Susan and the rest of this wonderful family. God Bless!

Captain, my Captain, you are greatly missed and will be forever loved. You are our world citizen and yet the best friend of any neighborhood. Earth is a much lesser place without you already. Rest in peace, dear one. We will join you one day and party to the ends of time.
