Robert E. Jones Jr.

Robert E. “Junnie” Jones, Jr., quietly entered eternal rest surrounded by family on July 30, 2026. He was born December 15, 1934, to the late Robert Sr., and Alma Jones, of Charles City, VA. “Junnie” attended the Charles City County Schools, and accepted Christ at an early age, faithfully serving with Little Elam Baptist Church. Robert answered the call to serve his country after he was drafted into the United States Army. A brave Veteran of the Vietnam War, Robert chose to make the Army his career. During his career with the military, he moved around many different domestic bases as well as several bases in Germany. While in the military, he married the love of his life, Lucy Jones. After retiring, he and Lucy settled in Newport News, VA. He went on to work at Fort Eustis before taking a position at a local Chevrolet dealership. Outside of work and ministry, Robert was a man of many passions…he made the best pound cakes, loved playing the harmonica, enjoyed spending time outside tending to his yard, and ensuring his cars were clean. Above all, Robert’s heart belonged to his family. He was affectionately called “Pop Pop” by his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Robert cherished his unique bond with each of his brothers and sisters. As the older brother he took his role seriously, always ready with a bit of advice for everyone whether they asked or not. Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Robert E., and Alma F. Jones; two brothers, Wilbur A. and Joshua L. Jones; three sisters, Emma C. Johnson, Bessie E. Hundley, and Mattie V. Jones. His legacy of love is carried on by his loving wife of sixty years, Lucy M. Jones; two sons, Robert C. Jones, Sr. (Linda), of King William, VA, and Gary Jones, Sr. (Clara), of Charles City, VA; one sister, Alleana R. Jefferson, of Charles City, VA; three brothers, James F. Jones (Shirley), of Philadelpia, PA; Joseph E. Jones, and Alfred L. Jones (Maxine), of Charles City, VA; three grandsons, Robert Jones, Jr., Rico Jones, and Gary Jones, Jr.; five great grandchildren, JaLaeyah, Makaelyn, Amaya, Alaiyah, and Lucy; two Goddaughters, LaToya Banks, and Tamisha Jones; devoted nieces and nephew, Iris McRae, Shirley Morman, and George Jones; along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and lifelong friends.
