He was born October 31, 1942, in Chillicothe, Ohio to the late Donald M. Jones, Jr. and Betty Jean (Decamp) Clark. On December 20, 1986, he married his beloved wife, Theresa (Robinson) Jones, and together they shared over 35 years of marriage.

Mike was an honorably discharged veteran of the United States Army serving from 1960-1968 in the Field Artillery Branch. He began his career at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center where he worked as a psychiatric nursing assistant and retired in 1996 after 30 years of employment. He was a former member of the American Legion, VFW, AMVETS and Moose Lodge in Chillicothe. In his free time, he could be found listening to his favorite music, watching Western movies, and loved watching Monday night football; especially the Dallas Cowboys. He also had a great love of antique cars, animals, gardening, and spending time outdoors hunting and fishing. But above all else, he was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who meant the world to his family.
