Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Mr. Nathaniel “Chilly” Fredrick Jones departed this life Friday, Nov. 15, 2002, unexpectedly at his residence at 905 Moravia Street. He was born March 22, 1941, in Winston-Salem to the late Willie and Roma Jones. He was a graduate of Carver High School, Class of 1959. His lifetime is reflected in self-employment at Jones Chevron for 38 years, (the only black private owned service station in the state of North Carolina) and Christian membership at Dreamland Park his entire life, serving as past chairman and member of the deacon board, program director of the usher board and member of the male chorus and Sunday school. He was preceded in death his wife, Rachel H. Jones in February 1993. Family love and devotion is instilled in the memory of him by two loving daughters, Robin J. Paul (Charles) and Rhonda J. Richardson (Antonio); four devoted grandsons, Charles Paul Jr., Christopher Paul, Reginald Richardson and Antonio Richardson Jr., and a devoted granddaughter, Tequoia Richardson; three sisters, Elveta Rutledge of Washington, D.C., Esther Haggler (Joseph) of Oakton, Va., and Hattie Jones of Capital Heights, Md.; seven brothers, James Jones, Hubert Jones, Odell Jones (Rosalyn) and Hobart Jones (Carolyn), all of Winston-Salem, Thomas Jones (Rosa) of Ayers, Mass., George Jones (Patricia) of Raleigh and Reginald Jones (Ethel) of Walkertown; a brother-in-law, Roscoe J. Hines (Joann) of Mount Airy; devoted friends, Hazel Gilbert, Aldrena Gaither, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter Hill, Willie “Bo” Crawford; a godson, Deron Simmons; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and many other devoted friends. Anytime you met him and asked, “How are you?” his response was, “I am blessed and highly favored in the Lord.” Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2002, at 1:30 p.m. from the Greater Cleveland Avenue Christian Church, with the Rev. Ronald Fisher officiating. Burial will be in the family plot of the Piedmont Memorial Park. The family visitation will be from noon to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at the church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Dreamland Park Baptist Church Building Fund. (Russell)

I thank God for the life of Jones. He touched my life and many, many more. If the good deeds he did for others were flowers, they would take up a lot of room in heaven. The world is better because Jones passed through here. I miss his so much. He took care of all my vehicles, church van, etc. My prayers are with the family. When I read the article about Chris Paul and the 61 points. I cried again. You all have someone to be proud of.
Be Blessed of the Lord

WE SERVE A RISEN SAVIOR; HE'S IN THE WORLD TODAY; WE KNOW THAT HE IS LIVING, WHATEVER MEN MAY SAY; WE SEE HIS HAND OF MERCY; WE HEAR HIS VOICE OF CHEER; AND JUST THE TIME WE NEED HIM, HE'S ALWAYS NEAR. RECENTLY YOU EXPERIENCED THE LOSS OF YOUR LOVED ONE. LIKE SO MANY IN THIS CITY AND SURROUNDING AREA WE TOO HAVE LOST A TRUE FRIEND. FOR MANY YEARS I HAVE USED THE SERVICES OF "JONES" AS I CALLED HIM. THERE WAS NEVER A TIME HE DID NOT RESPOND TO RENDER THE SERVICE OF HIS BUSINESS NO MATTER WHAT IT TOOK. IF HE COULD NOT HELP YOU, HE WOULD SUGGEST THE NEXT STEP FOR YOU TO TAKE. HE WAS READILY AVAILABLE TO MANY OF MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS EACH OF YOU AND KEEP YOU IN HIS CARE IN THE DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS AND YEARS TO COME.

The Lord said that He would not put no more on you than you can bear. Just know that your dad is in a wonderful place right now where he is safe in God's arms. I do know what it is like to lose a love one but be of good courage and know that you shall definitely see him again. Your mom and dad are smiling down on all of you, rejoicing!!
