Dwight Carlton Jones was born September 2 ,1977 in Norfolk, Virginia to Debra L. Jones and the late Dwight C. Bell. God decided to take back his child on December 12, 2023, at his residence in Ft. Mitchell, AL.

He was preceded in death by his father, Dwight Bell; mother-in-law, Betty Snead, Harlem, NY; grand- mother, Golden Jones AKA, Goldie, Norfolk, VA; grandmother Odessa Caroline Bell, Toledo, OH; cousin, Kayawn Bell, Norfolk,VA.

He leaves behind him a host of loved ones to always cherish his memories. His wife, April Jones, Columbus, GA; mother, Debra Jones, Norfolk, VA; two daughters, Zakkeya Snead and Dawniqua Snead,Columbus, GA; two sons, Syncere Snead and Loyal Snead, Columbus, GA; two brothers, Dwight Bell, Jr., Toledo, OH and Brandon Jones, Norfolk, VA; four sisters, Carletta Jones, Norfolk, VA, Laura Cooper, Atlanta, GA, Dominique Ottrix ,Toledo, OH, Deatra Johnson, AZ; he also leave behind his grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, close friends and his best friend Desmund Youngblood to cherish his memories.

Dwight was known to most by “VA”. He was a husband, son, father, brother, grandfather, uncle, cousin, friend, and overall wonderful man with a huge personality. But most of all he loved his family, and he loved the Lord. He would say “I know God got me.” Because of this, we can eventually have rest knowing exactly that.

Dwight was a hard worker and wanted to make sure that his family and loved ones ate. This world was not big enough for him. He worked with Concrete Feet Entertainment, he had his own assembly company, and he worked as a contractor for Lowes. He was a beast with his hands. He could put together just about anything without instructions. As a six year-old child he took apart televisions and reassembled them to fix them.

He was the life of the party and didn’t mind getting kicked out. Sometimes he would kick himself out because he knew it was coming. He was the most brutally honest person known and it came from a place of love. He wanted his loved ones protected, happy, in a good space, and never taken advantage of. If you know him, I’m sure you can see him, his teeth, his smile, and him explaining with “wooo wooo wooo”, and saying “yaaaaaah yaaaaaaaah!!!!”. Cherish good memories and celebrate his life. What would he do?

Your Birthday just passed, and it wasn't easy. I miss you so much, my life is forever changed. I pray every day for strength and justice. To hear your voice again, see your smile, or just to hang out on the porch and talk like we use to. This has been one of the hardest things I have had to contend with in my whole life. Forever in my heart... Laura

What's there to say about him other than he was loud and crazy...that was just Dwight lol. He always embodied the best part of any family you wanna choke slam them, fight them, they can be so annoying sometimes but you love them so much and can't bare to live without them. We may not have been blood but he was still the best uncle this side of Columbus. Love and miss you VA.

VA was always an effervescent spirit and brought joy to any room he was in. I will miss his smile, fun and loving nature. He was a good friend and a beautiful soul and will be greatly missed. I know he is in heaven's army now and I am honored to have known him and called him family. Gods grace, comfort and peace to the Jones family. Love and light during this difficult time.
