Welton "Chucky" Antoine Jones III

Welton “Chucky” Antoine (Kenney) Jones III, 60, of (Charles City County), entered eternal rest, on November 2, 2022. He was a loving and devoted husband of Tina Bates-Jones and the son of the late Welton “Bruiser” Jones Jr and Doris Ann Kenney. Chucky was educated in the Henrico County Public School system and attended the Henrico Trade Center in Glen Allen where he received his certification in welding. He became a Master Welder at a very young age going on to work for companies such as Liphart Steel and W.O. Grubb. While attending trade school, he also learned woodwork and lawn motors repair. Chucky was very mechanically inclined and his ability to master trades enabled him to become skilled at rebuilding vehicle and small engines and furnace repair. Welton was an avid hunter and fisherman at an early age. He learned these skills from his father ‘Bruiser” and grandfather “Pops”. He developed a love for music early in life. There was not a time you would not see him dancing or singing Michael Jackson’s song, Ben. His love for music led him to DJ at his Grandparent’s famous bar and grill, Kitty’s, located in the Church Hill district of Richmond, VA. Chucky worked as an union member of the Iron Worker’s local 28 located in Richmond, Va until he fell ill in 2015. He took pride in his work and would point out structures and highways he helped to erect in Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, and Washington DC, to name a few. Welton’s love for his fellow man led him to become certified as an EMT-B and EVOC driver. He volunteered his time as a rescuer with the Henrico Volunteer Rescue squad for over 10 years. Welton was preceded in death by his father, Welton Jones Jr. and son, Jovan Woodson. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Tina Bates-Jones; two daughters, Lashay Solomon (James) and Tameka Whitlow; adopted daughter, Alexa Bates; stepdaughter, Meryah Bates; seven grandchildren, Isreal Woodson, Jovan Woodson Jr, Lauren Solomon, Aliyah Solomon, Sade Solomon, Arianna Whitlow, A’laysia Whitlow, and Shawn Hampton, Jr; loving mother, Doris Kenney; Mother-in-law, Violet “Ann” Hill; sisters, Tracy Kenney and Evangela “Frankie” Campbell; sisters-in-law, Melody Brewton and Verdell Jones (Rudolph); brother, Brandon Tutwiler; brothers-in-law, Michael “Dirty Mike” Brewton (Darlene), Harvey Brewton, JR.
