Larry Albert Jones, 85, went home to be with the Lord on September 15, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. He was born October 28, 1938, to Norman and Ruth (Severson) Jones in Des Moines. Iowa.

Larry was a life time Cub’s fan, a long-time fan of the Bears, and later became a Chief’s fan. He loved playing cards and board games – especially Sequence, but fishing was his greatest pastime.

He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Nancy Jones; children, Randy (Kim) of Des Moines, and Monica (Brian) of Sedalia, Missouri; and grandchildren, Blake, Tyler (Cari), Ashlyn (Ty) and Levi.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents, and brother, Jerry.
