Fred B. Jones

Fred Jones, 79, passed away on January 4, 2016 in
La Junta, Colorado. Fred was born on December 30, 1936 in Campo, Colorado to
Ansel Bryan and Ruby Era (DeWeese) Jones. He spent his childhood years growing
up on a farm outside of Campo and attending school there.

Fred
and Mary (Palmer) were married on October 14, 1962 in Springfield, Colorado.
After living there a short time, they moved to La Junta where Fred worked at
Nibco and CO-OP before they settled at Mary's parents' ranch in Kim, Colorado
where they lived from April 1967 to May 2015. He loved the ranch and the 20
years he worked for Las Animas County Road and Bridge. He had a lot of fun
times with his co-workers! He enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren
participate in many events but mostly the ballgames where he ran the score
clock at home games and drove the activity bus to the away games.
