Charles Edward Jones

Charles Edward Jones

April 19, 1966 - May 1, 2020

Charles Edward Jones of Whitewright passed away peacefully in Denison on May 1, 2020 at the age of 54. Charlie was born to Billy Joe Jones and Billie Jean Pinkston in Sherman, Texas on April 19, 1966.

Charlie was a man who loved and enjoyed people with an outgoing nature. He was a man of many friends and many nicknames. To his musician buddies he was known as “The King”; he often introduced himself as “Charles Edward Jones, Esquire the third” with a smile.

Charlie was a passionate musician who was meticulous in his art, proficient at many stringed instruments but excelled at playing the lead guitar. His first band in high school was “Rebel” later he was with “Red Horse”, “Break Heart Pass”, “Reno Bound”, “Robert Joe Vandergrift band”, “Ace High”, “The Shawna Hart Band” and last “The Southern Cross”. He was “lead singer”, sang harmony and thrived playing requests and stump the band!

Charlie was a noted sports fanatic, following The Rangers and The Cowboys. He encouraged his kids to be the best athletes possible and was so proud that Trent and Tobi played collegiate baseball and softball. Charlie was extremely close to his brothers, meeting with them for lunch every Monday and loved going on trips, just the four of them.

He had an engaging and humorous love relationship with his wife, Rhonda. He loved his children unconditionally.

Charlie is survived by his wife, Rhonda Jones of Whitewright, Texas; sons, Cody Jacob Jones of Amarillo, Texas, David Trent Jones of Whitewright, Texas; daughter Tobi Shaune Jones of Whitewright, Texas; brothers, Jerry Jones and wife Donna of Dorchester, Texas, David Jones and wife Sharon of Ida, Texas, and Jimmy Jones and wife Mary of Tom Bean, Texas; sister in law, Tammie Curry and husband Matt of Ravenna, Texas, Kathy Howard and husband Christopher of Waco, Texas; aunt, Mary Jo Rhodes of Irving, Texas; in laws, John Parker and wife Pat of Bonham, Texas; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family and a large group of musician friends.

    So sorry to hear about Charlie and I’ll miss his infectious smile. No matter how low you felt all he would have to do is let you hear his voice and you would pretty much forget about any problems. It was rare to go anyplace that he wasn’t known and loved . He was a special person and a I know my life was forever changed by just knowing him, God Bless.

I believe the last thing you said to me weeks ago was, I hope we get to play together soon, we need to do some Beatles. We never got the chance. Rhonda I’m thinking of you and the children. I will see you Wednesday. Love always, Bill

    Charlie Jones was a guy that everyone loved. I met him at church he always had that big smile with an infectious laugh. He sang a medley of old hyms which was just beautiful I always enjoyed listening to him.. I know when he got to heaven they opened him with open arms now he can play without any pain. Rest In Peace Charlie .

    When a man gets to do exactly what he wants to do all his life. Finds the perfect life partner to laugh and make memories with. Have beautiful healthy children that cause no trouble. That’s about all a man can ask for from our Great Father in Heaven. Love you Charles, Rest In Peace my brother.

    Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences. Charlie had become a very good friend and I will truly miss him. I loved listening to him sing and play and talk to him about guns. It was a very sad day when I heard of his passing, but I guess Heaven’s choir needed another great musician.

    Charles was a good man, my friend, ? I loved him and I miss him already, I don’t know a lot about Charlie but I’m sure of what I do know, he loved his family, he was extremely proud of his kids, he was a history buff, he always liked the original version better, he could play some of any song I ever heard, and he saw a man work on a Japanese transmission one time. I am fortunate to have been his friend. RIP

    To the Charlie Jones Family, I am so sorry to hear about Charlie’s passing. I just heard yesterday. I worked with Jimmy and Jerry at Fisher Controls and with Charlie for a short time He was an inspiration to all who knew him and he will be greatly missed. He was a great musician and singer. I never heard a song that he could not sing as well as the original artist. I know that God’s band in heaven is the greatest now with Charlie in the lead. My prayers are with the family. God Bless You All.
