MR. RICHARD HANNIE JONES, son of the late Harold and Luvenia Gregory Jones was born November 27, 1952 in Mecklenburg County, VA and departed this life February 9, 2023 at his residence, South Hill, VA.

He attended the Mecklenburg County Public Schools.

Richard was employed by Carter’s of Boydton, VA and later retired from Barkers Construction Company, South Hill, VA.

On November 21, 1990, he married Celestine Merritt. He was dedicated in chauffeuring his wife to work and coming back to pick her up.

In his spare time Richard enjoyed hunting, fishing and watching his Westerns on TV. He loved chewing tobacco, but you could always catch him with a big old cigar in his mouth...not lit. He was a very soft spoken man and a good friend indeed.

Sincere condolences to the family! I remember Richard being a very kind man and pray he rest in peace.

Family, right now our loss is so fresh, it's difficult to image the pain that is shared among us. But in time with God's blessing and unfailing grace we will be able to accept the hurt that we're feeling. Uncle Richard was a gentle giant always soft spoken and kind to all. We will miss him terribly but we must still embrace each other for support and lift each other up in prayers. I did get to take a picture of him about 2 months ago. He looked so good. He's healed in peace, comfort, and God's mercy. Love my family, Barbara Anne Brown Finley & Family.

Continue to trust in the LORD, and continue to pray through all things, may the LORD be a comfort to the Family during this difficult time!! Rick Brown and Family

With sincere sympathy and prayers that God will give you strength and comfort your heart during this time of sorrow. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4 Shelia and Dean Jones
