Daniel "Dan" Weaver Jones

Daniel "Dan" Weaver Jones of Atlanta, Georgia, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 02, 2023, after a long and courageous battle with Lewy Body dementia, while he was surrounded by his loving and devoted family. 

Daniel, fondly known as Dan, was born to George and Velma Jones, on September 7, 1944 in Bluefield, West Virginia. He was a shy, but brilliant student and he graduated with honors from East Tennessee State University with a degree in Physics. During his career, Dan completed over four decades of distinguished service with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Dan was an extraordinarily talented woodworker and spent his retirement building a playhouse for his granddaughters, making furniture, and doting on his family. Dan enjoyed spending time
outdoors and was an avid deer hunter, though he rarely had the heart to pull the trigger. He was, above all, a kind and loving husband, father, and grandfather.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Mary Brenda Tipton Jones, his daughter and son-in-law, Nicole and Belfield Carter, and his beloved granddaughters, Mary Tipton, Katie, and Hannah. He is also survived by his brother, Samuel Jones, of South Carolina, and nieces and nephews throughout Tennessee and North Carolina.

His family will receive friends on Saturday, June 10, 2023, at the Unicoi Funeral Home Chapel from 11:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon. Dan's graveside service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday in the Peterson Family Cemetery. Those wishing to attend the graveside service are asked to meet at the cemetery by 12:50 p.m.
