STANLEY JONES

STANLEY JONES

Stanley Tyler Jones, loving son, youngest brother and friend, a lifelong resident of Sebring, Fla., is now in the big Baja race in the sky. He passed away at his home on Nov. 4, 2012, at age 46. Stan lived most of his life on a fast track. He was happiest when he was racing, and was fearless in any type of vehicle. On land or water, he wasn't one to be on the sidelines. He had the need for speed; the faster the better. Stan always dreamed of four-wheeling in the desert dunes of Southern California, and in January with his best friend, Robert Catarelli, he was able to realize that dream. He was dubbed the "Flying Squirrel". His buddies - Robert, Ray and Brent - probably understood him better than most. Stan had a very close relationship with his mom, his sister Joyce, niece Christy and nephew Mark Jr. He loved children and always had a way of making them laugh.

His father, Wayne Jones, preceded him in death. He is survived by his mother, Peggy Jones; his siblings, David Jones, Wayne (Colleen) Jones, Michael Jones, Howard (Debby) Jones, Mark (Beth) Jones, Sheila (Steve) Bearden, Joyce Norskov, and Mary (Jack) Hollandsworth; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Donations in lieu of flowers to the Children Advocacy Center of Sebring. Arrangements by Morris Funeral Chapel. A gathering of family and friends to celebrate his life is scheduled for noon, Nov. 24, 2012, at Istokpoga Park in Lorida.
