Stuart Jones

Stuart Thomas Jones, 36, of Conway passed away Monday, July 26, 2021. Stuart was born in Texarkana, Texas to B.T. and Debbie Jones on August 19, 1984. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Marvin Sharp, and paternal grandparents, Billy Neal and Linda Jones.

Stuart leaves to cherish his memory his parents, B.T. and Debbie Jones; his children, Macy and Kai; his grandmother Ruby Sharp; aunt Julie Jones and cousin Tadd McCullough, as well as other family members and friends who knew and loved him.
As a child, Stuart, was curious about everything. He loved bugs and was quick to be the first to spot an insect on the ground. When house-hunting with his parents as a seven year old, one of the deciding factors for him was that a particular house had a lot of toads in the backyard. His curiosity accompanied him throughout his life.
In spite of his ongoing struggles with anxiety, depression and addiction and the feelings of hopelessness and emotional roller coaster they caused, there was also an intelligent, caring, creative and fun Stuart that his family and true friends know and loved. He was passionate about his children, animals, music, trivia, gaming (especially Halo) and, of course, Star Wars! Stuart had a very strong sense of justice. He believed strongly in respect for those who were often discredited and disenfranchised. He enjoyed spending time with friends on float trips, going to concerts, and just hanging out. He loved to research controversial subjects and debate them. We hope that those who knew him well will treasure good memories of Stuart.

On June 25, 2021 Stuart posted on Facebook “If I’ve ever offended you or let anyone down in any way, I truly apologize.” Mental illness and addiction are serious problems in this country. They destroy people, their families and friends. Please be Kind. We never know anyone’s full story. May God have mercy on us all and may we, in turn, extend that mercy to those around us.

In lieu of flowers please make memorial contributions in Stuart's name to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Visitation will be held at Griffin Leggett Conway chapel on Friday, July 30th from 5 to 7 pm. Funeral services will be Saturday, July 31st at 1pm in the chapel of Griffin Leggett Conway.
